Bombardier CRJ Refresher

Bring back your CL65 type rating ✓

Overview

CL65 Renewal overview

Once the CL65 type rating becomes expired you have to comply with FCL.740(b). The CL65 renewal procedure requires to attend the refresher training in ProfiPilot Academy to brush-up your CL65 skills and gain-back the proficiency. The aim is to reach the level of proficiency to safely operate the particular CRJ variant under normal and abnormal operations including the elements identified by EASA as Training Areas of Special Emphasis. In some cases the CL65 Refresher training is not required, however it also might take a bit longer - depending on your experience and time lapsed since the last flight on the CL65. 

The training is followed by the CRJ proficiency check with a CL65 TRE.

It is important to mention that there is no maximum time in which the CL65 type rating has to be renewed. It means once you have held the type rating, the renewal training will always be possible even after 20 years.

Duration

The amount of refresher training needed to meet the the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the CL65 variant will be determined on a case by case basis by ProfiPilot Training, taking into account the following factors:

• your experience;
• the amount of time elapsed since the privileges of the CL65 type rating were last used;
• the complexity of and experience with the variant used for refresher training;

Taking into account above mentioned factors we may also decide that you already possesses the required level of proficiency and that no refresher training is necessary.

Completion

After successful completion of the CL65 refresher,  ProfiPilot Training will issue the training completion certificate which describes the evaluation of your experience and the refresher training received, as well as a statement that the training was successfully completed. The document serves as the recommendation for the CL65 with a CL65 TRE.

We will preferably use our own staff examiners - TRE CL65 for the purpose of your renewal LPC.
