ED Decision 2022/014/R
OPERATOR CONVERSION TRAINING FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS WITH COMPLEX MOTOR‑POWERED AIRCRAFT (NCC)
(a) General
(1) The operator conversion training should include:
(i) ground training, including the following:
(A) aircraft systems;
(B) normal procedures, which include flight planning, ground-handling and flight operations, including performance, mass and balance, fuel schemes, selection of alternates, and ground de-icing/anti-icing;
(C) abnormal and emergency procedures, which include pilot incapacitation, as applicable;
(D) a review of relevant samples of accidents/incidents and occurrences to increase awareness of the occurrences that may be relevant for the intended operation;
(ii) emergency and safety equipment training and checking, including survival equipment training (completed before operating on any passenger-carrying flight);
(iii) passenger handling for operations where no cabin crew is carried; and
(iv) a minimum number of sectors and/or flight hours operated under the supervision of a flight crew member nominated by the operator, to demonstrate the standard of qualification specified in the operator’s manual.
(2) The operator conversion course may be combined with a new type rating course, as required by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011.
(3) The conversion training should ensure that each flight crew member:
(i) has been trained to competency on the emergency and safety equipment installed on the aircraft they are to operate; and
(ii) is competent in the operating procedures and the use of checklists used by the operator.
(b) Emergency and safety equipment training should:
(1) take place in conjunction with cabin crew and technical crew as far as practicable. Emphasis should be placed on the importance of effective coordination and two-way communication between crew members in various emergency situations;
(2) address the operational procedures of rescue and emergency services; and
(3) cover the items of point (a)(2) of AMC1 ORO.FC.130.
EASA regulations mandate operator conversion training for complex aircraft, covering aircraft systems, procedures, emergency equipment, and passenger handling. Flight crew must demonstrate competency in operating procedures and emergency equipment through ground school, supervised flights, and coordination with other crew. Training can combine with type rating courses.
