AMC1 SPA.HOFO.125(g) Offshore standard approach procedures (OSAPs) ED Decision 2022/012/R TRAINING AND CHECKING FOR OSAPs (a) Initial training and checking for OSAPs should be conducted either as part of the operator’s conversion course or as a separate equipment and procedure training, and should include all of the following: (1) ground training, including knowledge of: (i) the structure of the OSAP; (ii) the airborne radar specifications, limitations, modes, and usage; (iii) the area navigation system, as necessary for the envisaged OSAP; (2) aircraft/FSTD training, including all of the following: (i) OSAPs to various offshore sites with and without obstacles or obstructions; (ii) OSAPs in different wind conditions, followed by landings and go-arounds; (iii) OSAPs in the pilot-monitoring, pilot-flying and single-pilot functions, by day and by night, as relevant to the kind of operations; (3) LIFUS; (4) line check. (b) The recurrent training and checking programme should include at least one OSAP per year in the pilot-monitoring, pilot-flying and single-pilot functions as relevant to the kind of operations. OSAPs should be part of the annual aircraft/FSTD training, the line check or the operator’s proficiency check. Checking is not necessary if training to proficiency is employed.
