Yes, it is. An application form is available. The aeronautical authorisation is charged: € 23,07 to pay on the account of BIPT: IBAN BE68 6791 7078 1634 (BIC : PCHQBEBB), with the reference “Aeronautical authorisation”.

You must enclose:

• the copy of the proof of the payment of € 23,07;

You must register via a GMDSS examination centre. 

The practical exam takes place on the equipment used by the candidate during his or her training. 

There is a €85,34 registration fee, which is non-refundable. 

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. 

To pass, one must obtain 50% of the points for each subject and 60% in total. No exoneration will be granted for the practical part. 

In case of a re-examination, an exemption is only granted for the theoretical parts for which the candidate obtained 70% or more and if the candidate does so within one year after the original examination. 

In the event of a re-examination, the practical part must always be redone.
 

Access to the examination room is only granted upon presentation of your ID card.
