text: QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING — INSPECTORS (a) Qualification (1) All inspectors should receive, as appropriate to their role, training in the following areas: (i) auditing techniques, as relevant to the particular duties and responsibilities of the inspector; (ii) safety management systems (SMSs); (iii) compliance monitoring system (CMSs); (iv) the requirements of

text: Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011

text: related to their duties, in particular of Annex VII (Part-ORA) and Annex VI (Part ARA) thereto; and (v) ICAO Annexes and guidance material relevant to their duties. (2) Additional qualification criteria: (i) inspectors conducting sampling of training flights in aircraft or FSTD sessions should hold or have held a pilot licence and relevant ratings and certificates appropriate to the level of the training conducted; (ii) inspectors conducting sampling of training flights in aircraft as a member of the flight crew should hold a pilot licence and relevant ratings and certificates appropriate to the level of the training conducted; (iii) inspectors conducting sampling of theoretical-knowledge instruction should have a practical background in aviation in the areas relevant to the training provided as well as practical experience in instructional techniques; (iv) inspectors approving training programmes should have relevant experience in the same area; and (v) inspectors not involved in activities referred to in (i)-(iv) above should have a relevant background in aviation related to their duties. (b) Initial training programme The initial training programme for inspectors should include, as appropriate to their role, current knowledge of, as well as experience and skills in, at least the following:

text: Annex II to ED Decision 2017/022/R

text: (1) air law — organisation and structure; (2)

text: Regulation (EC) No 216/2008

text: , as well as its implementing regulations and related AMC/GM; (3) the Chicago Convention, as well as relevant ICAO Annexes and guidance; (4) relevant national aviation and administrative legislation; (5) the applicable requirements and procedures (including the correct formulation of findings); (6) management systems, including assessment of SMSs and CMSs, as well as auditing, risk assessment, and reporting techniques; (7) competency-based training, including approval of training organisations; (8) criteria for the qualification of FSTDs; (9) evidence-based training; (10) HF training (including ‘just culture’ in aviation and conflict management); (11) performance-based oversight; (12) rights and obligations of the competent authority’s inspecting personnel; (13) ‘on-the-job training’; (14) the relevant Annexes to

text: 4. New GM3 ARA.GEN.200(a)(2) is inserted as follows:

text: GM3 ARA.GEN.200(a)(2) Management system

text: The meaning of ‘relevant ratings and certificates appropriate to the level of the training conducted’, as used in AMC2 ARA.GEN.200(a)(2), is explained below: — the range of activities in an ATO may vary from instructions for the simple single-engined aircraft to type training for CS-25-certified multi-pilot aircraft; — in the context of the general approval of the ATO, experience in similar types or classes of aircraft is acceptable; — the inspector has the instructional experience in the same or similar types or the same class of aircraft intended to be flown within the ATO (e.g. a type rating to assess the type training programmes); and — the experience in CS-25-certified multi-pilot aircraft will not, for example, equip the inspector to assess the training programme in an ATO operating only single-engine piston (SEP) (land) aircraft; similarly, experience as a PPL instructor will not necessarily equip the inspector to assess a type training course for a CS-25 aircraft; in both cases, additional appropriate training in the applicable environment is necessary.
