(1) Flight time, entered in a logbook that has been lost or destroyed, shall only be accepted for crediting purposes by the Director or the organisation designated for the purpose in terms of Part 149, as the case may be, if the flight time can be substantiated by means acceptable to the Director or the said organisation.

 

(2) A person acting as pilot of an aircraft for which he or she does not hold the prescribed qualifications shall not credit that flight time for any purpose, unless he or she is under approved flight instruction.

 

(3) An applicant for a national pilot licence or any rating thereto may be credited with any previously acquired flight time in any category of aircraft to the extent recommended by the flight instructor, signing out the skill test report prescribed for the issue of the licence or rating, to the Director or the organisation designated for the purpose in terms of Part 149, as the case may be.

 

(4) An applicant for a national pilot licence or any rating thereto, who is or who during the five years immediately preceding the application, has been the holder of a pilot licence issued in terms of Part 61 or by the South African Air Force, may be exempted from any cross-country requirement prescribed in this Part, if any, at the discretion of the flight instructor signing out the skill test report prescribed for the issue of the licence or rating.

 

(5) Where the holder of a national pilot licence applies for an additional category, class or type rating, he or she may be credited with any theoretical knowledge previously acquired in obtaining the licence or any rating, provided such theoretical knowledge meets or exceeds the standard of theoretical knowledge of the category being applied for, and at the discretion of the Director or the organisation designated for the purpose in terms of Part 149, as the case may be.
