AMC1 ORA.ATO.135 Training aircraft and FSTDs
ED
Decision 2014/021/R
ALL
ATOs, EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDING FLIGHT TEST TRAINING
(a) The number of training aircraft may be
affected by the availability of FSTDs.
(b) Each training aircraft should be:
(1) equipped as required in the training
specifications concerning the course in which it is used;
(2) except in the case of balloons or
single-seat aircraft, fitted with primary flight controls that are instantly
accessible by both the student and the instructor (for example dual flight
controls or a centre control stick). Swing-over flight controls should not be
used.
(c) The fleet should include, as appropriate
to the courses of training:
(1) aircraft suitably equipped to simulate
instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and for the instrument flight
training required. For flight training and testing for the instrument rating
and the en-route instrument rating (EIR), an adequate number of IFR-certificated
aircraft should be available;
(2) in the case of aeroplanes and sailplanes,
aircraft suitable for demonstrating stalling and spin avoidance;
(3) for the flight instructor (FI) training
courses on aeroplanes and sailplanes, aircraft suitable for spin recovery at
the developed stage;
(4) in the case of helicopters, helicopters
suitable for autorotation demonstration;
(5) in the case of a non-complex ATO, one
aircraft fulfilling all the required characteristics for a training aircraft
might be sufficient;
(6) each FSTD should be equipped as required
in the training specifications concerning the course in which it is used.
EASA aviation regulations require flight training organizations (except flight test training) to use appropriately equipped training aircraft and flight simulation training devices (FSTDs). Aircraft must have accessible dual controls, simulate instrument conditions, and demonstrate stall/spin recovery or autorotation as needed. Fleet size depends on course requirements.
