Original regulatory text

The UATO will nominate an instructor to be authorised by CAAS as an AFE(UA). Upon authorisation by CAAS, the AFE(UA) will be responsible for the administration of practical assessment and proficiency checks on behalf of CAAS. The period of AFE(UA) authorisation is up to 24 months. 11.3 Each UATO should have 2 AFE(UA)s. CAAS will assess on a case-by-case basis should there be a need to have more to cope with the practical assessments.
