Working under two authorities
For schools holding both a UK CAA and an EASA approval: FlyerOS tracks which authority each licence, rating and medical belongs to, and never crosses the two.
Last reviewed
Since Brexit, a UK school may hold both a UK CAA and an EASA approval and train toward licences in each. The two do not mix: an instructor's FI(A), a student's medical, an examiner's authorisation count toward one authority, not both. FlyerOS models that directly rather than leaving it to memory.
A second axis, not a longer list
Your jurisdiction answers which country's rules govern the school (see regional settings and jurisdiction). Authority answers a different question on the same day: which authority's licence a particular flight counts toward. FlyerOS keeps the two apart.
What is authority-matched
Where a privilege depends on the authority, FlyerOS checks against the right one:
- An instructor may only authorise a flight toward an authority they actually hold the privilege under.
- A student's medical, ratings and examiner authorisation are held against their authority, and a booking is validated against that one.
- Skill tests and examiner authorisations are recorded per authority.
- Audit and evidence exports can be produced per authority, so a UK CAA visit and an EASA visit each get a clean pack of their own.
Hold one authority, and you see none of this
A school with a single approval never encounters any of it. The second axis appears only when you genuinely operate under two authorities, so a single-authority school is never made to carry complexity it does not need.
