Application of the PEL Standards
Annex 1 contains Standards and Recommended Practices
adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization as
the minimum standards for personnel licensing.
The Annex is applicable to all applicants for and, on
renewal, to all holders of the licences and ratings specified
herein.
The Council has decided that, in principle, amendments
affecting existing licensing specifications are applicable to all
applicants for, and holders of, licences but, in considering
their application to existing holders of licences, the assessment,
if necessary, by re-examination of the knowledge,
experience and proficiency of individual licence holders is left
to the discretion of Contracting States.
