A

Authority and Legal Basis for the Repeal

The repeal is enacted pursuant to the powers under Republic Act 9497 (Civil Aviation Authority Act of 2008).
It aligns with the PCAR Part 1 and the Regulations Amendment/Revision Procedure under Board Resolution No. 2012-054 dated 28 September 2012.

Implications for Holders of Foreign Flight Crew Licenses

Applicants holding current and valid foreign flight crew licenses such as PPL/IR, CPL, CPL/IR, ATPL or Flight Engineer licenses, issued by Contracting States and validated under PCAR Part 2.2.4.1, are affected.
These license holders are no longer required to accumulate 200 flight hours in Philippine registered aircraft operated by Philippine operators as a prerequisite for conversion.

Requirements for License Conversion Post-Repeal

Previously, applicants had to present their foreign license and evidence of 200 flight hours (e.g., logbook) to the Authority for conversion.
Following this amendment, the flight hour requirement for conversion is removed, simplifying the process for qualified foreign license holders.

Effectivity of the Memorandum Circular

The circular takes effect fifteen (15) days after publication in a single newspaper and filing with the University of the Philippines Law Center - Office of the National Administrative Register.
It was adopted and signed on July 1, 2014, by the Director General of CAAP, Lt Gen William K. Hotchkiss III AFP (RET).
