DESCRIPTION OF THE DEROGATION Slovakia may, by derogation from point (b) of FCL.740 ‘Validity and renewal of class and type ratings’ of Annex I (Part-FCL) to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, allow Part-FCL licence holders who have been flying recently using a valid equivalent class or type rating held on a third country licence issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1 to comply with the renewal criteria by passing the proficiency check but not being required to undergo additional refresher training. 2. CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO THE APPLICATION OF THE DEROGATION This derogation applies to holders of licences in accordance with Part-FCL that include a class or type rating to be renewed.
