ED Decision 2021/003/R
PROFICIENCY CHECKS
(a) The purpose of the proficiency check is to establish the ability of an individual to perform satisfactorily, in accordance with applicable requirements and the content of the aerodrome manual as they relate to his or her tasks.
In particular, the proficiency check of the aerodrome operator’s personnel should determine the performance of an individual regarding the tasks assigned to him or her. Regarding personnel of other organisations operating or providing services at the aerodrome, the objective of the proficiency check should be the assessment of the performance of the individual with regard to the applicable operational procedures and requirements of the aerodrome.
To this end, the elements that each proficiency check should cover should be identified and documented.
A proficiency check does not need to cover all associated elements at the same time; however, all elements of a proficiency check should be covered within the period specified in ADR.OR.D.017(g).
Depending on the situation, specialty and element checked, and provided that it will not affect the quality and completeness of the proficiency check, a single proficiency check may be used to cover more than one person. The person(s) to be checked should be made aware prior to the proficiency check.
Proficiency checks may be conducted during normal and/or abnormal/emergency conditions depending on the situation and the specialty of the person being checked.
(b) The proficiency check programme should:
(1) include a process to identify the frequency of proficiency checks, including for the instructors and assessors, and track completion of the required checks;
(2) identify checking responsibilities and relevant checking methods and procedures;
(3) include procedures to be applied in the event that personnel do not achieve the required standards; and
(4) include a validation process that measures the effectiveness of the programme.
(c) Information related to the proficiency check programme should be included in the aerodrome manual.
AMC1 ADR.OR.D.017(g) defines proficiency check purpose, coverage, and conditions. It requires a documented programme with frequency, responsibilities, failure procedures, and validation. Programme information must be in
