Licensing Decision Review

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) makes informed and careful decisions about the people it regulates. Safety is our number one priority. 

In cases where a person subject to a regulatory decision has a concern that the IAA has not followed the correct process in coming to that conclusion, there are several review options available. 

Where an IAA official has advised you of a refusal to issue, or a proposal to vary, provisionally suspend, suspend, or revoke any of the following licences or authorisations issued in relation to: 

  • Flight crew licensing 

  • Aircraft maintenance engineers 

  • Air traffic controllers 

  • Rating and endorsements for instructors and examiners 

  • Medical fitness decisions 

  • Aeromedical examiners 

There is an option for a Personal Licensing Review Board. Details of the process to follow may be viewed here.  

Requests for a review of medical fitness decisions should be requested through the Civil Aviation Medical Review Board. Details of the process to follow may be viewed here.  

If you are not satisfied with the service you have received, you can make a formal complaint about the IAA. This should be made in accordance with the IAA complaints policy
