512. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the Irish Aviation Authority will continue to fully recognise all training undertaken at pilot training organisations that transfer airfield status from registered training facility to the newer EASA DTO (details supplied). [23150/18]

I am advised by the Irish Aviation Authority, which is the State regulator for pilot training and licensing, that it very recently wrote to the proprietor of the organisation in question (on 22/05/18). That letter, I am informed, explained the impact of the changes at EU level and confirmed that the organisation is free to operate according to the terms of its recent Declared Training Organisation declaration, under the responsibility of the "responsible person", a suitably qualified Chief Flying Instructor (now known as a Head of Training) and suitably qualified flight instructors.
