In the case concerning the prohibition of taking a skills test for a private pilot’s license, the Senate has referred questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The Senate’s decision of 12 December 2024 in case No. SKA-28/2024 has referred preliminary questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union and suspended proceedings in the administrative case. The case concerns a dispute over the Civil Aviation Agency’s one-year prohibition imposed on the applicant from retaking the skills test required to obtain a private pilot’s license.

To determine whether the prohibition on the applicant retaking the skills test for a private pilot’s license is appropriate and in line with the objectives of European Union law, the interpretation of the EU legal provisions applied in the case will be examined.

WALLESS partner Sandis Bērtaitis represents the Ministry of Transport in the case.
