RCC/DMARES Test - Requirement
Most Ivel MAC members had Grandfather exemption (those with A or B certificates prior to 2019/2020) for the Flyer ID requirements.
The CAA have reminded the BMFA that the exemption period lasts only until nearly the end of 2025
Unless you have done (and passed) it recently YOU will need to do the RCC/DAMARES test before the due date towards the end of 2025. Not only do you need to pass the test but when you get the certificate you need to go through a convoluted procedure procedure to upload it to your BMFA Portal (you do have a BMFA Portal don't you??)
