The Pilot Proficiency Scheme, and Check Pilots

The BAeA operates a mandatory Pilot Proficiency Scheme for competition pilots. Pilots must qualify to compete at Standard and higher levels by demonstrating their ability to fly the Known sequence for that level. This demonstration sequence must be performed safely and to the satisfaction of a BAeA approved Check Pilot, who will observe (or may accompany in 2-seat aircraft) the qualifying pilot. If the demonstration is accepted as meeting the required standards of safety, situational awareness and piloting skills, the Check Pilot will make the appropriate entry and signature on the qualifying pilots Proficiency Card.

Note also .... that if a pilot does not compete for a period of at least two years then his endorsement is considered to have lapsed, and before he can compete again in a previously endorsed class he must obtain a new endorsement from a check-pilot.

The following are authorised as Check Pilots for those wishing to gain such approval:
