AMSA 15

Check pilot checklist (form 15)


Overview

You can use this form to complete a check pilot checklist.

What’s changing?

A new Check Pilot Voyage Assessment Procedure and Form 15 checklist will come into effect on 1 February 2026.

The updated procedure and checklist (2025) will replace the current version (2019) used to assess coastal pilot competency during live pilotage voyages.

There will be a transitional period from 1 November 2025 to 31 January 2026, during which either version may be used.
