Appendix 2 SECTION 3. COURSE DEFINITION The accountable manager (or technical staff delegated by the accountable manager) will outline training requirements for the company and/or for the individual, based on the results of a training needs assessment.
While defining the course or lesson, the following information should be documented, as appropriate:
• Objectives and/or required performance outcome: define the knowledge or skill obtained or to be obtained from the course or lesson.
• Prerequisites: define any knowledge, skill, course, or lesson that needs to be known before the course or lesson can be given.
• Training sources: define any and all training sources available to the repair station for the course or lesson.
• Training methods: define any and all training methods that can be, will be, or were used to impart the information.
• Instructor qualifications: define the knowledge or skill level of the in-house instructor or the qualifications of the instructor that provided the information (if known).
• Other supporting information such as instructor guides, course material, tools, equipment, or any other aid or information provided during the instruction.
Documentation associated with any training accepted or given by the repair station shall be retained in the training program files or in the file of the individual employee assigned to perform maintenance (including inspection), preventative maintenance, or alterations under the repair station’s 14 CFR part 145 repair station certificate. Training will be provided on an initial and recurrent basis as required to ensure all employees performing maintenance (including inspection), preventative maintenance, and alteration tasks are capable of performing assignments.
SECTION 4. TRAINING METHODS AND SOURCES ABC company will use all training sources and methods available to provide employees with the information necessary for them to perform assigned maintenance (including inspection), preventative maintenance, and alterations tasks correctly.
The majority of the training provided by this repair station will use on-the-job training (OJT) methodology. The information required by section 3 will be developed for each lesson to ensure consistency among training providers.
SECTION 5. TRAINING DOCUMENTATION The accountable manager will ensure training records are generated and maintained for all ABC employees that establish each individual is capable of performing the maintenance (including inspection), preventative maintenance, and alteration tasks assigned. The records include FAA certifications, other applicable certifications and degrees, ABC or customer qualifications and
Appendix 2 authorizations, and for each course completed, the total time credited, the date, the instructor, the location, and the results of any associated examination.
All documents showing proof of any of the aforementioned training are maintained for as long as an individual is an ABC employee and for 2 years thereafter.
Any employee may review their training records to verify that they are complete and current. If an employee notes a discrepancy in the training record documentation, that employee will inform the accountable manager of the discrepancy. Any change necessary to update an employee’s training record must be approved by the accountable manager.
SECTION 6. REVISION PROCESS The process for submitting changes to the training program for FAA approval is described in ABC’s RSM.
NOTE: Alternatively, if the repair station wishes this training program to stand on its own, it may describe the method for changing this approved program in this section.
SECTION 7. WORK PERFORMED FOR PARTS 121, 125, 129, AND 135 OPERATORS ABC does not perform work for air carriers or commercial operators under part 121, 125, 129, or
135.
Before ABC would perform maintenance (including inspection), preventative maintenance, or alteration under its 14 CFR part 145 certificate for an air carrier or commercial operator it would conduct a training needs assessment in accordance with Section 2, paragraph 1, to determine if additional capabilities were needed for its employees.
SECTION 8. WORK PERFORMED BY INTERIM MAINTENANCE EMPLOYEES During periods of heavy workload, ABC may supplement its workforce with interim maintenance employees. Before these individuals begin work for ABC, they must undergo a needs assessment. The accountable manager must determine where the individuals will work to conduct the needs assessment and ensure all individuals are provided training appropriate to the particular assignment before they are required to begin work.
Appendix 3 APPENDIX 3. EUROPEAN AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY (EASA) TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS
1. TRAINING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE U.S./EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AVIATION SAFETY AGREEMENT. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 145 repair stations holding EASA Part-145 approval should include human factors training and fuel tank safety (FTS) training, as applicable, in their FAA-approved repair station training programs.
2. BACKGROUND. On March 24, 2009, the Executive Director of the EASA determined that the human factor training and FTS training program contained in EASA Part-145 is acceptable guidance for repair stations to use as a basis in developing a training program for relevant repair station personnel.
3. HUMAN FACTORS TRAINING AND FTS TRAINING. Personnel at a repair station should know how to interface between maintenance, inspection, quality audit, and maintenance management. This training should center on the scope of work performed by the repair station.
The repair station should ensure the training program is controlled and developed per the FAA Repair Station Manual (RSM)/EASA Supplement.
4. ALTERNATIVES TO FAA-APPROVED TRAINING. Those FAA-approved repair stations holding applicable airframe ratings that want to develop their own FTS training program may do so by referencing EASA Part-145, appendix IV to AMC 145.A.30(e) and 145.B.10(3), Fuel Tank Safety Training.
5. REFERENCES. EASA acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material regarding human factors training and FTS training are provided in the current edition of EASA Part 145, appendix IV to AMC 145.A.30(e) and 145.B.10(3), which is found on the EASA’s website at https://easa.europa.eu/rulemaking/technical-publications.php.
