Apply for training concessions for holders of ICAO licenses from third countries in individual training programs

Would you like to start training as an aircrew member and already hold an ICAO license from a third country? Then you can apply to the Federal Aviation Office for a training waiver.

If you would like to start training in the field of aviation personnel, you may be able to take advantage of training facilitations if you have an ICAO license (ICAO) from a third country. To do this, you will need a permit, which you must apply for from the Federal Aviation Office (LBA).

For this purpose, the future training organization (Approved Training Organization, ATO) must create an individual training program, which the LBA approves.

These administrative services are generally aimed at all students who hold an ICAO third country license. You can also be represented by the future ATO or a third party for the application.

• In case of representation: Power of attorney
• Part-FCL license, if available and not issued by the LBA
• Training program
• current version of the ATO certificate of the future ATO and the associated appendix for ATOs that do not operate within the LBA's area of responsibility
• Proof of flight experience
• existing ICAO third country license
  

• You may only begin training with an approved, individual training program.
• You have an ICAO third country license.
  

• Contradiction

You can apply for approval for training facilitation online, by post or by fax.
