GM1 SPA.LVO.120(b) Flight crew competence ED Decision 2023/007/R FLIGHT CREW TRAINING (a) The number of approaches referred to in [AMC2](#_DxCrossRefBm318086966), [AMC3](#_DxCrossRefBm318086967), [AMC4](#_DxCrossRefBm318086968) and [AMC6](#_DxCrossRefBm318086970) to [SPA.LVO.120(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm318085765) represents the minimum number of approaches that the flight crew members should conduct during initial and recurrent training and checking. More approaches or other training exercises may be required in order to ensure that flight crew members achieve the required proficiency. (b) Where flight crew members are to be authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits for which the technology and operating procedures are similar, there is no requirement to increase the number of approaches in initial training if the training programme ensures that the flight crew members are competent for all operations for which they will be authorised. Where flight crew members are to be authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits using different technology or operating procedures, then the required minimum number of approaches should be completed for each different technology or operating procedure. (c) Where flight crew members are authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits for which the technology and operating procedures are similar, then there is no requirement to increase the number of approaches flown during recurrent checking. However, where flight crew members are authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits using different technology or operating procedures, then the required number of approaches should be completed for each different technology or operating procedure. (d) Flight crew members are required to complete initial FSTD training and maintain recency for each operating capacity for which they will be authorised (e.g. as pilot flying and/or pilot monitoring). A pilot who will be authorised to operate in either capacity will need to complete the minimum number of approaches in each capacity. (e) Approaches conducted in a suitably qualified FSTD and/or during a proficiency check or demonstration of competence may be counted towards the recent experience requirements. If a flight crew member has not complied with the recent experience requirements of [AMC2 SPA.LVO.120(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm318086962) or [AMC3 SPA.LVO.120(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm318086963), the required approaches may be conducted during recurrent training, an operator proficiency check or a periodic check of competence either in an aircraft or on an FSTD. (f) Table 1presents a summary of initial training requirements for LVOs and operations with operational credits. (g) Table 2 presents a summary of recent experience and recurrent training/checking requirements for LVOs and operations with operational credits.

##### GM1 SPA.LVO.120(b) Flight crew competence *ED Decision 2023/007/R* **FLIGHT CREW TRAINING** (a) The number of approaches referred to in [AMC2](#_DxCrossRefBm523088907), [AMC3](#_DxCrossRefBm523088908), [AMC4](#_DxCrossRefBm523088909) and [AMC6](#_DxCrossRefBm523088911) to [SPA.LVO.120(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm523087673) represents the minimum number of approaches that the flight crew members should conduct during initial and recurrent training and checking. More approaches or other training exercises may be required in order to ensure that flight crew members achieve the required proficiency. (b) Where flight crew members are to be authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits for which the technology and operating procedures are similar, there is no requirement to increase the number of approaches in initial training if the training programme ensures that the flight crew members are competent for all operations for which they will be authorised. Where flight crew members are to be authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits using different technology or operating procedures, then the required minimum number of approaches should be completed for each different technology or operating procedure. (c) Where flight crew members are authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits for which the technology and operating procedures are similar, then there is no requirement to increase the number of approaches flown during recurrent checking. However, where flight crew members are authorised to conduct more than one kind of LVOs including operations with operational credits using different technology or operating procedures, then the required number of approaches should be completed for each different technology or operating procedure. (d) Flight crew members are required to complete initial FSTD training and maintain recency for each operating capacity for which they will be authorised (e.g. as pilot flying and/or pilot monitoring). A pilot who will be authorised to operate in either capacity will need to complete the minimum number of approaches in each capacity. (e) Approaches conducted in a suitably qualified FSTD and/or during a proficiency check or demonstration of competence may be counted towards the recent experience requirements. If a flight crew member has not complied with the recent experience requirements of [AMC2 SPA.LVO.120(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm523088903) or [AMC3 SPA.LVO.120(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm523088904), the required approaches may be conducted during recurrent training, an operator proficiency check or a periodic check of competence either in an aircraft or on an FSTD. (f) Table 1presents a summary of initial training requirements for LVOs and operations with operational credits. (g) Table 2 presents a summary of recent experience and recurrent training/checking requirements for LVOs and operations with operational credits. ***Table 1*** ***Summary of initial training

Notes: 1: LVTO only required if the minimum approved RVR is less than 150 m. 2: If a flight crew member is authorised to operate as pilot flying and pilot monitoring, then the flight crew member should complete the required number of approaches in each operating capacity. 3: One approach to be flown without natural vision, to the height below which an approach should not be continued if natural visual reference is not acquired. 4: ‘operational suitability data established in accordance with [Regulation (EU) No
