The holder may only exercise privileges within the limits of this authorisation and of the licence.

- Continuation training, including human factors and technical or procedural changes.
- Competence assessment by the organisation according to its exposition (MOE) procedures.
Frequently asked questions
Does my authorisation follow me if I change employer?
No. The authorisation is issued by a specific organisation. A new employer assesses your competence and issues its own authorisation.
