AMC1 ORO.FC.231(f) Evidence-based training
ED
Decision 2021/002/R
EQUIVALENCY OF MALFUNCTIONS — PROCESS
(a) The equivalency of malfunctions process should be undertaken by subject matter experts (SMEs) who hold or have held a type rating on the aeroplane type.
(b) Steps of the equivalency of malfunctions
Step 1: Look at (review) all aircraft system malfunctions provided by the OEM. For example, FCOM for Airbus, or AFM for other manufacturers, does not normally provide an exhaustive list of malfunctions.
Step 2: Determine and retain in a list only malfunctions that place a significant demand on a proficient crew, in isolation from an environmental or operational context.
Step 3: For each retained malfunction, determine the applicable characteristic or characteristics.
Step 4: Develop the EBT FSTD programme to incorporate malfunctions at the frequency specified in the table of assessment and training topics.
(c) Malfunctions included in the equivalency of malfunctions but not included in the EBT FSTD programme require review and appropriate procedural knowledge training, conducted in a less qualified but suitable alternative environment (classroom, flight procedure training device, advance computer-based training, aviation blended learning environment (ABLE), etc.). Further guidance can be found in the EASA EBT manual.
(d) The operator should establish procedures to determine what malfunctions should be included in the FSTD. This may include a different malfunction difficulty between the EVAL and the SBT.
EASA aviation regulations require evidence-based training (EBT) using aircraft malfunctions. Subject matter experts must identify malfunctions demanding proficient crew responses. The EBT flight simulator program should incorporate these malfunctions at specified frequencies. Malfunctions not in the simulator require procedural knowledge training. Operators must define malfunction inclusion procedures.
