AMC to Paragraphs 1(b), 3.2 and 4.2 of Appendix III to Part-66 ‘Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard. On-the-Job Training’ ED Decision 2015/029/R Practical Element of the Aircraft Type Training 1. The practical training may include instruction in a classroom or in simulators but part of the practical training should be conducted in a real maintenance or manufacturer environment. 2. The tasks should be selected because of their frequency, complexity, variety, safety, criticality, novelty, etc. The selected tasks should cover all the chapters described in the table contained in [paragraph 3.2 of Appendix III to Part-66](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545800). 3. The duration of the practical training should ensure that the content of training required by [paragraph 3.2 of Appendix III to Part-66](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545800) is completed. Nevertheless, for aeroplanes with a MTOM equal or above 30000kg, the duration for the practical element of a type rating training course should not be less than two weeks unless a shorter duration meeting the objectives of the training and taking into account pedagogical aspects (maximum duration per day) is justified to the competent authority. 4. The organisation providing the practical element of the type training should provide trainees a schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be performed under instruction or supervision. A record of the tasks completed should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task or group of tasks may be countersigned by the designated assessor. The logbook format and its use should be clearly defined. 5. In [paragraph 4.2 of Appendix III to Part-66](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545808), the term ‘designated assessors appropriately qualified’ means that the assessors should demonstrate training and experience on the assessment process being undertaken and be authorised to do so by the organisation. Further guidance about the assessment and the designated assessors is provided in [Appendix III to AMC to Part-66](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545745). 6. The practical element (for powerplant and avionic systems) of the Type Rating Training may be subcontracted by the approved [Part-147](#_DxCrossRefBm1518544911) organisation under its quality system according to the provisions of [147.A.145(d)3](#_DxCrossRefBm1518545814) and the corresponding Guidance Material. ##### AMC to Paragraphs 1(b), 3.2 and 4.2 of Appendix III to Part-66 ‘Aircraft Type Training and Examination Standard.
