Declare withdrawal from a theoretical examination for aviation personnel
Service Description
With the declaration of withdrawal, you can withdraw from an examination session that has already been applied for at the Federal Aviation Office. The declaration of withdrawal is intended for aviation personnel.
Withdrawal is possible for reasons of illness or other valid reasons (e.g. death in the family or illness of a child).
The Luftfahrt-Bundesamt will check whether you meet all the necessary requirements and have all the required documents or evidence.
After the Federal Office of Civil Aviation has processed the declaration of withdrawal, you will receive a notification of rejection or acceptance of the withdrawal. Depending on whether the withdrawal is accepted or rejected, the examination paper applied for is deemed to be "excused" or "unexcused".
