THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (OJ L 212, 22.8.2018, p. 1 ). , and in particular Article 23 thereof,

Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (OJ L 212, 22.8.2018, p. 1 ).

(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 of 3 November 2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 311, 25.11.2011, p. 1 ). lays down technical requirements for the certification of flight simulation training devices, the certification of pilots involved in the operation of certain aircraft, and the certification of persons and organisations involved in the pilot training, testing and checking.

(2) Since the last decade, aeroplane upset or loss of control have been identified among the major risk factors that could lead to fatal accidents in commercial air transport operations and its prevention became a strategic priority in EuropeEuropean Plan for Aviation Safety 2018-2022, pt. 5.3.1, p. 33. and at a global level. This included new training requirements to better prepare pilots for adverse situations of aircraft upset and loss of control.

(3) By Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/445Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/445 of 17 March 2015 amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 as regards technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew (OJ L 74, 18.3.2015, p. 1 ). , the existing training requirements for commercial pilots were updated to include upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) as a mandatory constituent of the theoretical knowledge of pilots. Further detailed training elements and training objectives are needed to improve pilot competencies for both prevention of and recovery from aeroplane upsets that can lead to a loss of control and, eventually, to a fatal accident.

(4) UPRT needs to be integrated at various stages of a professional pilot's career and should be reflected in the privileges stated in the individual pilot licence. A well-developed and well-maintained competence of professional

(5) Further to the introduction of the new course related to the development of advanced pilot competencies in upset prevention and recovery, the requirements for instructor certificates should be revised in order to ensure that persons instructing on this course are appropriately qualified.

(6) This Regulation reflects the provisions adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in 2014 on UPRT for multi-crew pilot licences and for multi-pilot aeroplane type ratings through the amendment to Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention on Personnel Licensing.

(7) It is in the interest of aviation safety that the new UPRT elements should be implemented as soon as possible. Transitional provisions should be put in place to allow training courses that have started before these UPRT-related amendments to the requirements on pilot training become effective, to be completed without any further adaptation. In this context, it should be considered that pilots flying for commercial air operators in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 of 5 October 2012 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 296, 25.10.2012, p. 1 ). need to undergo regular operator training which already today contains UPRT elements. Additionally, pilot training organisations should be given a transitional period to adapt their training programmes to comply with the new UPRT requirements. At the end of that transitional period, all relevant training courses should be conducted in accordance with the new UPRT requirements.

(8) Negotiations between the Union and certain third countries are currently still ongoing, including on the conversion of pilot licences and associated medical certificates. In order to ensure that Member States may continue to recognise third country licences and medical certificates for an interim period in light of those negotiations, it is necessary to prolong the period during which Member States may decide not to apply the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 in their territory to pilots holding a licence and associated medical certificate issued by a third country involved in the non-commercial operation of certain aircraft.

(9) The European Union Aviation Safety Agency submitted draft implementing rules to the European Commission together with its Opinion No 06/2017.

(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139,
