Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.251 Course of additional theoretical knowledge for a class or type rating for high performance single-pilot aeroplane (See Appendix 3 to JAR-FCL 1.055) (See JAR-FCL 1.251) (See Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.285) (See AMC FCL 1.055(a)) (See AMC JAR-FCL 1.251)

HIGH PERFORMANCE AEROPLANE TRAINING

1 The aim of the theoretical knowledge course is to provide the applicant with sufficient knowledge of those aspects of the operation of aeroplanes capable of operating at high speeds and altitudes, and the aircraft systems necessary for such operation.

2 The holder of an ICAO ATPL(A) or a pass in the theoretical knowledge examinations at ATPL(A) level is credited with meeting the requirement of article 61, §1, 3°(a) of the Royal Decree of 4 March 2008.

3 A pass in any theoretical knowledge subjects as part of the HPA course will not be credited against meeting future theoretical examination requirements for issue of a CPL(A), IR(A) or ATPL(A). COURSE PROVIDERS

4 Theoretical knowledge instruction for the HPA may be provided by an FTO approved to conduct theoretical knowledge training for the ATPL(A). Courses may also be provided by TRTOs offering training for HPA class and type ratings, in which case the course will be subject to specific approval. Course providers will be required to certify completion of the training and demonstration of knowledge by the applicant as a pre-requisite for training for an initial type or class rating for aeroplanes designated as high performance. COURSE SYLLABUS

5 There is no mandatory minimum or maximum duration of the theoretical knowledge instruction, which may be conducted by distance learning. The subjects to be covered in the course and written examination are shown in the accompanying table.

Main subject headings are shown in Capital type, syllabus coverage by subject number in normal type. Subject numbers refer to those of the aeroplane syllabus of theoretical knowledge instruction contained in Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.470. Syllabus content is a general indication of areas to be covered and examination content should cover all subject numbers irrespective of their relevance to any specific type or class of aeroplane. The learning objectives for the different subjects can be found on the website www.jaa.nl liaison office licensing JAR-FCL Theoretical Knowledge Training & Examinations. EXAMINATION

6 The written examination should consist of not less than 60 multi-choice questions, and may be split into individual subject papers at the discretion of FTO/TRTO. The pass mark for the examination will be 75%.
