Check Flight exemption
It is now no longer mandatory for a check flight to be conducted for the renewal of an Expiring Certificate of Airworthiness, a National Airworthiness Review Certificate or Certificate of Validity. The responsibility for deciding when a check flight is required is described in Section 3 of SN 2013/11.
The current requirement for a check flight to be carried out for the initial issue of an Expiring Certificate of Airworthiness, a National Certificate of Airworthiness or National Permit to Fly remains unchanged.
The CAA has issued an exemption (www.caa.co.uk/ors4 No. 975); from the requirement of Article 36K of the Air Navigation Order (ANO) for the determination of a satisfactory check flight as part of the airworthiness review for the renewal of the National Airworthiness Review Certificate
