LICENCE VALIDATIONS

The Isle of Man Aircraft Registry issue Certificates of Licence Validation for:

• Flight Crew Licences
• Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licences.

The Isle of Man Aircraft Registry does not issue personnel licences. We validate licences issued by appropriate contracting states to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (ICAO) and accept the licensing/medical certificate variations/exemptions issued by the State of Licence Issuance (the 'Licensing Authority') unless specified otherwise.

Any restrictions or conditions imposed by the Licensing Authority (including their variations/exemptions) must also be complied with by the licence holder when exercising the privileges of their Certificate of Licence Validation. Any non-compliance by the licence holder with the Licencing Authority, its regulations and or exemptions would in our view invalidate the licence and therefore invalidate the Isle of Man Certificate of Validation.
