4.1 Licences
< Back to the DAME Handbook table of contents
Aircrew and air traffic services licences are issued to applicants who have met the relevant technical and theoretical standards. Once a licence is issued, it continues in effect indefinitely unless suspended or cancelled. In general, a valid medical certificate appropriate for the class of licence must be held for the licence holder to legally exercise the privileges of the licence.
