AMC1 ORO.FC.130 Recurrent training and checking ED Decision 2022/014/R RECURRENT TRAINING AND CHECKING TO DEMONSTRATE COMPETENCE FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS WITH COMPLEX MOTOR-POWERED AIRCRAFT (NCC) (a) Recurrent training Recurrent training should comprise the following: (1) Ground training The ground training programme should include: (i) aircraft systems; (ii) normal procedures, which include flight planning, ground-handling and flight operations, including performance, mass and balance, fuel schemes, selection of alternates, and ground de-icing/anti-icing; (iii) abnormal and emergency procedures, which include pilot incapacitation as applicable; (iv) a review of relevant samples of accidents/incidents and occurrences to increase awareness of the occurrences that may be relevant for the intended operation; (2) Emergency and safety equipment training (i) Emergency and safety equipment training may be combined with emergency and safety equipment checking and should be conducted in an aircraft or a suitable alternative training device. (ii) Every year the emergency and safety equipment training programme should include the following: (A) actual donning of a life jacket, where fitted; (B) actual donning of protective breathing equipment, where fitted; (C) actual handling of fire extinguishers of the type used; (D) instruction on the location and use of all emergency and safety equipment carried on the aircraft; and (E) instruction on the location and use of all types of exits. (3) Elements of CRM as specified in Table 1 of [AMC1 ORO.FC.115](#_DxCrossRefBm318085582) should be integrated into all appropriate phases of recurrent training. (4) Aircraft/FSTD training (i) The aircraft/FSTD training programme should be established in such a way that all the major failures of aircraft systems and associated procedures will have been covered in the preceding 3-year period. (ii) When engine-out manoeuvres are carried out in an aircraft, the engine failure should be simulated. (iii) When an FSTD is not available or accessible, the operator should establish mitigating measures to ensure that an adequate level of safety is maintained when conducting the training or checking in an aircraft. If one or more of the major failures cannot be practised in the aircraft because of their associated risks or because of environmental considerations, the failure(s) may be partially replicated for crew training purposes using pre-briefed, risk-assessed measures that avoid degrading the aircraft’s performance below a predetermined level, and which permit immediate reversion to normal operating conditions. (b) Periodic check to demonstrate competence (1) Each flight crew member should complete the periodic check as part of the normal crew complement. (2) Periodic demonstrations of competence should be conducted every 12 months and may be combined with the proficiency check required by [Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32011R1178&qid=1666684354241).
