Certifying documents for CAR 5/Part 61 licence conversions
People who held a pilot’s licence issued before 1 September 2014 will receive a new Part 61 licence when they undertake an activity that triggers a notification to CASA, such as completing a flight review or proficiency check, gaining a rating or endorsement or applying for an additional licence.
As part of this process, pilots need to complete form form61-9txpdf (pdf 636.26 KB) (Recognition and Transfer of CAR 5 Qualifications under CASR Part 61 and CASR Part 202.261). They also need to have their flight examiner or flight instructor sight and certify copies of any original permissions that are not contained in their CAR Part 5 licence, but which need to be transferred to their new Part 61 licence document. The required forms and certified copies of the pilot’s permissions are then sent to CASA.
Under the new flight crew licensing regulations, a person who holds a flight examiner rating issued under Part 61 is not deemed to be a delegate or authorised person. Under normal circumstances, this would mean that flight examiners and flight instructors could not certify documents.
However, to smooth the transition to the new rules and make it easier for pilots to complete the process, CASA has decided to accept documents lodged with a form 61-9TX that have been sighted and certified by a flight examiner or flight instructor at a flying school.
Please note this authority only extends to the certification of documents lodged with a 61-9TX form.
In all other circumstances applicants lodging documentation to CASA that require certification will need to have that done by an ‘acceptable person’ (refer to CASA’s list of people who can certify proof of identity documents).
Please also note that pilots are not obliged to have the documents associated with their 61-9TX form certified by a flight examiner or flight instructor. They may choose to have this done by another acceptable person if they want to.
