GENERAL
The operator should comply with the national training and checking requirements published in the AIP.
ROUTE, AREA AND AERODROME KNOWLEDGE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS WITH AEROPLANES AND HELICOPTERS
The knowledge of the route and area to be flown and of the aerodrome facilities and procedures to be used should include the following:
(a) Area and route knowledge
(1) The objective of the area and route familiarisation should be to ensure that the pilot has knowledge of:
(i) terrain and minimum safe altitudes;
(ii) seasonal meteorological conditions;
(iii) meteorological, communication and air traffic facilities, services and procedures;
(iv) search and rescue procedures where available; and
(v) navigational facilities associated with the area or route along which the flight is to take place.
(2) The operations manual should describe appropriate methods of familiarisation depending on the complexity of the area or route and the experience of the pilot‑in‑command.
(b) Aerodrome knowledge
(1) Aerodrome familiarisation should include knowledge of obstructions, physical layout, lighting, approach aids and arrival, departure, holding and instrument approach procedures, applicable operating minima and ground movement considerations.
(2) The operator’s manual should describe appropriate methods of familiarisation depending on the complexity of the aerodrome.
(3) If the competent authority of the aerodrome or area requires specific training or familiarisation, the operator should maintain all records of this training or familiarisation in accordance with ORO.GEN.220.
(4) For offshore installations, the limitations determined in accordance with AMC1Â SPA.HOFO.115 should be taken into account.
AMC2 ORO.FC.105 details pilot-in-command designation requirements, including route, area, and aerodrome familiarisation for non-commercial operations, plus compliance with AIP training rules.
