TRAINING AND CHECKING PROGRAMMES AND SYLLABI

[…] (b) Further details on the training and checking programmes and syllabi should be included in the operations manual depending on the complexity of the operations (e.g. further contextualisation of the training programme, details of the aerodrome at which some items will be covered, time allocation to brief and debrief, whether the item to be trained is a legal requirement or an operator (e.g. SMS) item, etc.).

AMC1 ORO.FC.145(d) Provision of training, checking and assessment

FSTDs USED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS REGULATION — AEROPLANES

(a) When using an FSTD for the completion of a certain item of a training and checking programme or syllabus, the operator should: (1) in the case of training items included in Appendix 9 to Annex I (Part-FCL) to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, use either of the following: (i) an FSTD whose FCS or assigned FCS is equal to or higher than the minimum FCS required for such items in the training matrix specified in point (a)(3)(i) of AMC1 to Appendix 9 Section A point 1f; or (ii) an FSTD whose FCS or assigned FCS is equal to or higher than the equivalent of an FFS level C or D, as determined in point FCL.036(a)(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011; or (iii) an FFS level C or D; and (2) in all other cases, use either of the following: (i) an FSTD whose FCS or assigned FCS is equal to or higher than the equivalent of an FFS level C or D, as determined in point FCL.036(a)(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011; or (ii) an FFS level C or D.

FSTDs USED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS REGULATION — HELICOPTERS

(b) When using an FSTD with an FCS or with assigned FCS for providing training on the basis of Appendix 9 to Annex I (Part-FCL) of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, the operator should ensure

that this FSTD has an FCS or assigned FCS that is equal to or higher than the minimum FCS required for such item in the training matrix specified in point (a)(3)(ii) of AMC1 to Appendix 9 Section A point 1f to Annex I (Part-FCL) of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011.

FULL FLIGHT SIMULATORS (FFS)

(c) The operator should classify any differences between the aircraft and FFS in accordance with the Air Transport Association (ATA) chapters as follows: Compliance Levels (a)(1) Level A differences: (1)(i) no influence on flight characteristics; (2)(ii) no influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); (3)(iii) differences in presentation; and (4)(iv) differences in operation. Method: self-instruction via the operations manual or flight crew information. (b)(2) Level B differences: (1)(i) no influence on flight characteristics; (2)(ii) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and (3)(iii) possible differences in presentation and operation. Method: flight crew information, computer-based training, system device training or special instruction by instructor. (c)(3) Level C differences: (1)(i) influence on flight characteristics; (2)(ii) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and (3)(iii) eventually differences in presentation and operation. Method: special instruction by instructor, a selected partial training on another FSTD or aircraft or a waiver because of previous experience, special instruction or training programme. (d)(4) Level D differences: (1)(i) influence on flight characteristics; and/or (2)(ii) influence on procedures (normal and/or abnormal); and/or (3)(iii) differences in presentation and/or operation; and (4)(iv) FSTD is level D qualified and is used for zero flight-time training (ZFTT).

Method: a specified partial training on another FSTD or aircraft or a waiver because of previous experience, special instruction or training programme.
