FAQ n.19182

What is the difference between the terms FCL (Flight Crew Licensing) and Aircrew?

Answer

Aircrew is the common term for "Flight Crew" and "Cabin Crew". Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew (“the Aircrew Regulation”) covers both flight crew and cabin crew.

Annex I (Part-FCL) to the Aircrew Regulation contains Implementing Rules for Flight Crew.
Annex V (Part-CC) to the Aircrew Regulation contains Implementing Rules for Cabin Crew.
