Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material to Part-ORO Issue 2 — Amendment 7, and to Part-ARO (Operator Conversion Course (OCC) for Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL)) Issue 3 — Amendment 2

A. Amendments to Part-ORO

A new GM is inserted as follows: ‘GM1 ORO.FC.220(c) Operator conversion training and checking OPERATOR CONVERSION COURSE (OCC) FOR MULTI-CREW PILOT LICENCE (MPL) HOLDERS

When defining the amount of training for MPL holders, who undertake their first conversion course on a new type or at an operator other than the one that was involved in their training for the MPL, the operator should put a process in place to ensure that corrective action can be taken if post-MPL licence training evaluation indicates the need to do so.’

B. Amendments to Part-ARO

A new GM is inserted as follows:

‘GM4 ARO.GEN.300(a);(b);(c) Oversight OVERSIGHT OF AN OPERATOR CONVERSION COURSE (OCC) FOR MULTI-CREW PILOT LICENCE (MPL) HOLDERS

As part of the initial certification or the continuing oversight of an operator, the competent authority should include the assessment of the OCC provided to MPL holders, who undertake their first conversion course on a new type or at an operator other than the one that was involved in their training for the MPL.

The assessment of the OCC should evaluate whether the operator, in the process of development of the OCC, took the following aspects into account:

— the time elapsed after completion of the initial training, between base training and hiring, and the Line Flying Under Supervision (LIFUS); — the necessary feedback loop between the Approved Training Organisation (ATO) and the operator involved in the licence training.
