Personnel

Maintenance activities on aircraft may only be carried out by an organisation or specialised personnel who hold the necessary approvals. The FOCA issues such approval to organisations which have undergone an inspection and have thus demonstrated that they meet the relevant legal requirements. The approval procedure may take several months, depending on the size of the organisation and the complexity of the activities involved.

All information about licensing and training for crews and flight schools.

In order to maintain valid the licenses, pilots and air traffic controllers are required to undergo periodical medical examinations. The Aeromedical Section (AMS) of FOCA supervises the Aeromedical Centers (AeMC) and the Aeromedical Examiners (AME). It is also the first instance for reviews in case of differences among pilots/controllers and AMEs.

The successful application of the regulations governing the transport of dangerous goods greatly depends on the awareness on the part of all involved persons of the associated risks, as well as on their understanding of the applicable regulations.

The training of air traffic control personnel has to be carried out by organisations that have been certified or officially recognised by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation.
