Apply for a change of the competent aviation authority for a foreign pilot license from an EASA member state
You must submit an application for a change of jurisdiction and transfer of a foreign pilot license from an EASA member state to the Bremen Aviation Authority (transfer-in).
-
Basic information
You can apply for a change of jurisdiction and a transfer of the pilot license from an EASA member state to the Aviation Authority Bremen. If all requirements are met, a Part-FCL license can be issued by the Bremen Aviation Authority and thus the responsibility can be changed.
Requirements
You hold a foreign pilot license from an EASA member state.
-
Procedure
- You submit an application for a change of responsibility to us.
- We will initiate the transfer with your previous aviation authority.
- As soon as the medical data has been transferred to the Federal Aviation Authority and we have received a license verification, we will issue you with a new pilot license.
If you have any questions about the forms, you can contact the relevant office.
More information
After the application has been submitted, the Bremen Aviation Authority requests the previously responsible authority of the license holder to send a confirmation (verification) of the current license data by e-mail. The confirmation is to be sent by e-mail in the form of ICAO document 155 by the competent aviation authority.
It is also necessary for the medical reports (aeromedical data) to be submitted to the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) by the previously responsible authority. The state aviation authorities are not responsible for aviation medicine. The LBA will therefore take over the examination and administration of the aeromedical data.
For this purpose, copies of the medical reports must be sent to the LBA by the competent authority. The transmission is carried out in accordance with Annex IV (Part-MED) MED.A.015. The reports must contain a summary of the relevant medical history, checked and signed by the medical expert.
Once the application has been submitted, communication takes place between the authorities involved.
