AMC1 ORO.FC.146(b) Personnel providing training, checking and
assessment
ED Decision 2022/014/R
PERSONNEL
PROVIDING AIRCRAFT/FSTD TRAINING AND CONDUCTING OPERATOR PROFICIENCY CHECKING
AND QUALIFIED UNDER ANNEX I (PART-FCL) TO REGULATION (EU) No 1178/2011
Training
and checking should be provided by the following personnel:
(a) Flight training by a type rating
instructor (TRI) or class rating instructor (CRI), flight instructor (FI) or,
in the case of the FSTD content, a synthetic flight instructor (SFI). For
commercial air transport, the FI, TRI, CRI or SFI should satisfy the
operator’s experience and knowledge requirements sufficiently to instruct on
aircraft systems and operational procedures and requirements.
(b) Operator proficiency check by a type
rating examiner (TRE), class rating examiner (CRE) or, if the check is
conducted in an FSTD, a synthetic flight examiner (SFE). The TRE, CRE or SFE
should be trained in CRM concepts and the assessment of CRM skills.
(c) For aircraft/FSTD training, line flying
under supervision, operator proficiency checks and line checks, if the
training or checking includes multi-pilot operations in helicopters, in
addition to (a) and (b) the personnel conducting training or checking should
have 350 hours flying experience in multi-pilot operations.
(d) In the case of CAT operations in
helicopters, the 350 hours flying experience in multi-pilot operations defined
in (c) may be reduced on an individual basis, as part of the approval of the
training and checking programmes. The operator may apply for such a reduced
flying experience based on the unavailability of experienced pilots in both
multi-pilot operations and in their types of operations. A FI/TRI/SFI rating
and MCC training in helicopters should be a prerequisite for any reduced
flying experience in multi-pilot operations. In addition, the operator should
define mitigation measures after having performed a risk assessment. The
following should be taken into account:
(1) flying experience criteria in single-pilot
operations in the types of operations;
(2) any other training, checking, recency and
experience criteria;
(3) robustness and maturity of multi-pilot
SOPs.
(e) In the case of training and checking
towards the relevant aspects associated with a specialised operation, points
(j)(2) to (j)(4) of AMC1 ORO.FC.146(e);(f)&(g) should apply.
EASA regulations mandate specific personnel qualifications for flight training and checks. Instructors (TRI, CRI, FI, SFI) must have sufficient experience, especially in commercial air transport. Examiners (TRE, CRE, SFE) need CRM training. Helicopter multi-crew training/checks require 350 hours experience, potentially reduced with mitigation for CAT operations, considering pilot experience and SOP robustness.
