  • for airplane and helicopter pilots: form DAC-LIC 114-2;
  • for sailplane and balloon pilots: form DAC-LIC 114-3.

Before issuing a Luxembourg licence, the DAC will contact the authority that issued the foreign licence to confirm its authenticity.

Examiner's certificates are automatically transferred, except for "Senior Examiner" certificates.

Pilots who wish to transfer their foreign medical file to Luxembourg must complete the corresponding form (form DAC-LIC 114-4) and send it to the Aero-Medical Department of the authority of the Member State that issued the medical certificate.
