CAA authorised SFCL examiners can be found here.
When identifying an SFCL examiner, it is important to note the SFCL examiner privileges:
SFCL.415 (a) – skill tests and proficiency checks for the SPL
SFCL.415 (b) – skill tests for the extension of SPL privileges to TMG
SFCL.415 (c) (1) (i) – assessments of competence for the issue of an FI(S) certificates in sailplanes excluding TMGs
SFCL.415 (c) (1) (ii) – assessments of competence for the issue of an FI(S) certificate in TMGs
Where an examiner certificate includes (c) 2, that does not refer to a privilege.
