GM1 FCD.300 Pilot type rating training and operational training requirements for a specific aircraft ED Decision 2021/012/R (a) The following table presents an example of a training footprint for a type rating course. This footprint can be made equally applicable to other training courses by adapting the contents and durations. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="606"><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p><b>Day 1 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p><b>Day 2 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 3 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 4 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 5 </b></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p>Table introduction</p><p>CBT MODULE 1</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p>CBT MODULE 2 </p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 3</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 4</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 1</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>Tutorial 1 OPT</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td></tr></table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="606"><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p><b>Day 6 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p><b>Day 7 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 8 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 9</b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 10</b></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p>CBT MODULE 5</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 2</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p>CBT MODULE 6</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 3</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 7</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 4</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 8</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 5</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 9</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 6</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td></tr></table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="606"><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p><b>Day 11 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p><b>Day 12 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 13 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 14 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 15 </b></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p>CBT MODULE 10</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p><p>OTD MODULE 7</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p>CBT MODULE 11</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p><p>OTD MODULE 8</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 12</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p><p>OTD MODULE 9</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>CBT MODULE 13</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p><p>OTD MODULE 10</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>Tutorial 2 EFB, QRH</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p><p>Tutorial 3 LBS</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td></tr></table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="606"><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p><b>Day 16 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p><b>Day 17</b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 18 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 19 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 20 </b></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p>Variances<br/> (if needed)</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p>FSTD MODULE 1</p><p>(x:xx hrs) </p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>FSTD MODULE 2</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>FSTD MODULE 3</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>FSTD MODULE 4</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td></tr></table> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="606"><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p><b>Day 21 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p><b>Day 22 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 23</b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 24 </b></p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p><b>Day 25</b></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="122"><p>FSTD MODULE 5</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p><p>Wind shear briefing</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="120"><p>FSTD MODULE 6</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>FSTD MODULE 7</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>FSTD MODULE 8</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td><td valign="top" width="121"><p>Skill test</p><p>(x:xx hrs)</p></td></tr></table> Note: Times for OTD and FSTD modules include time for briefing and debriefing when appropriate. (b) Reduced training footprint Type rating training is based on the pilot’s prerequisites. If there is some commonality between the base and candidate aircraft, a reduced type rating training footprint may be provided by giving credit to the common characteristics between these types. If the determination is made that the base and the candidate aircraft are considered variants, then difference training or familiarisation training is required. (c) Training methods For the training methods for pilot type rating training and operational training: (1) knowledge can be adequately addressed through self-instruction and aided instruction; (2) hands-on training can be adequately addressed by part-task trainers, system training devices (for example for FMS and TCAS), or aircraft on ground; (3) demonstration can only be adequately addressed in an FSTD or in an aircraft with the appropriate capability to achieve the training objectives, and enable the integration of knowledge, skills and abilities. (d) Development of training areas of special emphasis (TASE) (1) TASE are identified: (i) to prevent misunderstandings, skill errors, or skill deficiencies that have an impact on the safety of the flight, and may be specified as mandatory items specific to a given aircraft type, variant, or equipment to be integrated in the training (type rating training, difference training, familiarisation training, or equipment training, as applicable); or (ii) when the impact on the safety of the flight is considered to be associated with aircraft failure conditions with a severity classified as Major or higher and when there are associated pilot training elements to mitigate the effects; or (iii) when the flight manual emergency and abnormal procedures require specific knowledge or skills to be acquired. (2) Types of TASE (i) TASE provided in the initial FCD corresponding to the aircraft configuration in the TC (or provided in the aircraft basic specification at the time of the FCD catch up). These TASE are the only mandatory FCD items for the type rating course content based on the aircraft configuration at TC. (ii) TASE provided in the update of the FCD for the modified aircraft (TASE for a variant, TASE for equipment). These TASE are mandatory FCD items that are provided in addition to the DR tables for the difference training, familiarisation training, and equipment training. (3) Initial and recurrent training TASE are applicable to both initial and recurrent training. However, more detailed provisions on the applicability of TASE may be provided as part of the OSD. (4) Relationship between TASE and difference training levels TASE are typically associated with training items that require at least level B difference training. (5) Sources for TASE Typical sources of TASE or elements that may generate TASE are: (i) design validation: validation of an aircraft design (e.g. systems, functions, etc.) and aircraft procedures (e.g. flight test, human factors (HF) evaluation, safety analysis, etc.); (ii) operational evaluations: FCD evaluations (T testing), or ATO training syllabus evaluations; and (iii) in-service or training feedback/experience.
