  2. Pilots RoCAA licensing inspectors have participated in JAA working groups for amending JAR-FCL 1 and 2. Subsequently, PIAC-LPN (procedures and instructions for the implementation of JAR-FCL requirements) was developed to meet the LPRs set out in JARs JAR-FCL 1- for aeroplane pilots JAR-FCL 2 – for helicopter pilots ATCOs RACR-LCTA (transposition of EC23/2006 into licensing national regulations) PIAC-LCTA (RoCAA procedures and instructions for the implementation of RACR-LCTA requirements) Implementation of LPRs into national legislation

  3. Minimum level of language proficiency for ab initio training • All pilots and ATCOs are tested before they begin their ab initio training using various methods of testing at upper intermediate level. For example, the FEAST test for ATCOs and English tests developed by FTOs

  4. LPRs Focal point • Romania has nominated two contact persons (one for pilots and one for ATCOs) within the Romanian CAA responsible for all matters related to LPRs

  5. National plan of implementation of ICAO LPRs • Romania published on the ICAO web-page a statement of full compliance before 5th March 2008
