Simultaneous processing of requests regarding licences such as initial acquisitions, renewals, revalidations, extensions as of 01.03.2021
As of 01.03.2021 the following adjustments for the processing of all licence applications will be effective:
Upon receipt each application will be processed separately; applications cannot be held back awaiting further requests.
In the case of several applications being submitted at the same time, each one shall respectively be charged individually.
According to the official regulation of fees of the Federal Office of Civil Aviation of Switzerland FOCA, art. 30, 1, b, each request of an initial entry, renewal, revalidation or extension shall be charged; FOCA charges the processing of the request, not the actual issuance of a paper licence.
The revision of the FOCA regulations of fees will in return lower the charges for all above mentioned applications as follows:
- Initial entries, renewals, revalidations and extensions for commercial pilot licences: CHF 75.— each
- Initial entries, renewals, revalidations and extensions for non-commercial pilot licences: CHF 45.— each
The revision and improvement as well as the ongoing digitalization enabled the lowering of these fees.
