For pilots
Before starting an application, your dLIS account must be active and the FCL module must be activated.
VAll information on theory examinations can be found here: Theory examination
You start the application yourself in the FCL domain. For a new licence, select “+ Obtain new Licence”, then select the licence and the “Skill Test” button. You then select your flight school, which reviews the application, provides the recommendation and uploads the required documents. Once the flight school has processed the application, you will receive an e-mail and select the examiner with whom the examination date has been arranged. The application then remains with the examiner and you do not need to take any further action until the examination. After the examination, the application is automatically returned to you. You pay the licence issuance fee online, after which the application is automatically submitted to FOCA.
If the examination is not passed You will receive information on legal remedies in dLIS. To repeat the examination, you currently have to create a new application, which follows the same process via the flight school and examiner. This function is currently only available once the initial examination has been processed by FOCA.
First, all persons who have the roles of Administrator, Head of Training and Deputy Head of Training must register individually in dLIS. One of these persons then registers the organisation using the Organisation icon in the top right-hand corner. To assign a role, you need the personal dLIS ID code of the person concerned.
In dLIS, you work with two profiles: your personal profile and the organisation profile. Use the Profile Switch in the top left-hand corner to switch between the two; the view adapts accordingly. When the switch is set to your personal profile, you only see your own applications. If you cannot find applications you are expecting, check the Profile Switch first.
First assign the application to yourself and then open it. For theory examinations, release the subjects for which you provide a recommendation. For practical examinations, confirm whether the requirements have been met and then proceed to the document upload.
For each document, first select the appropriate category, for example “Flight Logbook Copies”, and then upload the file. All required supporting documents must be uploaded (as specified on page 2 of the current PDF skill test form).
On the day after the theory examination, you can view the results under “Trainings”. They can be filtered and exported as CSV.
For examiners
Your dLIS onboarding must be completed and the FCL module must be activated. Otherwise, you will not appear in the search for candidates and the application cannot be assigned to you.
For examinations conducted via dLIS, no additional notification in Flexco is required. The two process steps “Examiner Notification 1” and “Examiner Notification 2” automatically notify FOCA of the examination. The 48-hour rule remains applicable.
The examination report consists of three tabs: “Check Information” with the flight details, “Check Details” with the detailed examination report and “Overall Result” with the overall result. You can switch between the tabs at any time. Only click “Next” once all fields in all three tabs have been completed. If “Next” does not respond, mandatory information is missing, often the number of landings under “Check Information”.
If the examination takes place without a stable Internet connection, use offline mode. Make sure that a connection is available when starting the examination, use the same device throughout and do not close the browser window until the report has been completed in full. Only click “Next” once the connection has been restored.
After a Licence Skill Test, there is no document upload for examiners in dLIS. The required supporting documents are uploaded beforehand by the flight school. The Examination Guide is currently being revised. If a Temporary Permission is issued, you can record this in the comments field.
If you hold an EASA licence issued by a country other than Switzerland, register in the FCL domain under “Registration for Foreign Flight Instructors and Examiners”. FOCA will review your registration within the next few working days.
Operators can take over application management for their pilots in dLIS. Application delegation allows the management of applications to be delegated to the operator (AOC holder). This function is currently available for the Multi Pilot Aeroplane domain. Interested operators should contact dlis@bazl.admin.ch.
