In case of an annulment more than one week before the exam or upon presentation of a medical certificate, the registration fee can be moved to another date.

An application form is available. The aeronautical certificate is offered with charge: €6.33 to pay on the account of BIPT: IBAN BE68 6791 7078 1634 (BIC : PCHQBEBB).

Do not forget to sign your form!

You must enclose:

• the original copy of the certificate of achievement of the exam, issued by the FPS Mobility and Transport or by the competence centre of the aviation unit;
• the copy of the proof of the payment of €6.33;
• a recent passport photograph;
• a copy of both sides of the identity card.

Please note that the ATCO (Air Traffic Control) licence does not entitle to the operator’s certificate – it is essential that you provide the certificate of achievement of the FPS examination. If you do not have that certificate anymore, you can ask an equivalent document to the FPS. A copy of your PPL, ATPL... does not entitle to the operator’s licence. The ELP is not sufficient either.
