text: GM4 ARA.GEN.200(a)(2) Management system

text: FSTD INSPECTOR TRAINING

text: (a) The competent authority should cover the training areas as set out in Table 1 below when establishing a training programme for initial and recurrent training for an FSTD inspector to enable the inspector to develop and maintain the required knowledge and skills.

text: (b) The competent authority may adapt the content of the training areas as necessary, considering:

text: (1) the knowledge and experience of the trainee; and (2) the tasks and responsibilities of the FSTD inspector.

text: (c) When developing a training programme for initial training of FSTD inspectors, the competent authorities should take into account all the following: (1) appropriateness of training areas to different aircraft categories;

text: (2) training needs of the inspector to evaluate specific areas related to training (e.g. PBN, UPRT, full stall, HUD, EVS, helicopter-specific scenarios, etc.);

text: (3) the individual trainee’s development progress when determining the number of audits/evaluations in which the trainee participates as an observer and as a team member under supervision before acting as a full audit/evaluation team member.

text: (d) The training under supervision in accordance with point (c)(3) should incorporate hands-on evaluation training in an FSTD. (e) When developing a training programme for recurrent training, the competent authority should include refresher training for FSTD inspectors who do not have recent experience in FSTD evaluations and audits before acting as full audit/evaluation team members. (f) Any appropriate training methods such as lectures, self-study, web-based training courses, participation in FSTD conferences may be used in the initial and recurrent training of FSTD

text: SUBPART FSTD – SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE QUALIFICATION OF FLIGHT SIMULATION TRAINING DEVICES (FSTDS)

text: SECTION I – GENERAL AMC1 ARA.FSTD.100(a) Evaluation procedure

text: TIMELINE FOR THE INITIAL EVALUATION

text: (a) The time allocated to objective tests depends on the speed of the automatic and manual systems set up to run each test and whether or not special equipment is required. The competent authority should not necessarily warn the organisation operating an FSTD of the sample validations tests which should be run on the day of the evaluation, unless special equipment is required. (b) The FSTD cannot be used for subjective tests while part of the QTG is being run. Therefore, sufficient time (at least eight consecutive hours) should be set aside for the examination and running of the QTG. (c) The subjective tests for the evaluation can be found in the applicable primary reference document (PRD). Note: the suggested subjective test profile is described in GM1 ARA.FSTD.100(a);(b);(c). Depending on the simulated configurations and complexity of the FSTD and simulated aircraft, at least one working day should be planned for the subjective test routine, which effectively prevents the use of the FSTD for any other purpose. (d) To ensure adequate coverage of subjective and objective tests and to allow for cost effective rectification and retest before departure of the inspection team, adequate time (approximately three consecutive days) should be dedicated to an initial evaluation of an FSTD.

text: AMC2 ARA.FSTD.100(a) Evaluation procedure

text: ASSESSMENT PROCESS LEADING TO THE ISSUE OF AN FSTD QUALIFICATION

text: (a) FSTDs require evaluation leading to qualification. The required process should be accomplished in two distinct steps. First, a check should be performed to determine whether or not the FSTD complies with the applicable requirements. When performing this check, the competent authority should ensure that accountability for the issue of an FSTD qualification is clearly defined. In all cases an individual department manager of the competent authority should be appointed under whose personal responsibility the issue of an FSTD qualification is to be considered. The second step should be the grant (or refusal) of an FSTD qualification. (b) When checking compliance with the applicable requirements, the competent authority should ensure that the following steps are taken:

text: (1) An individual should be nominated by the department manager of the competent authority to oversee, and become the focal point for, all aspects of the FSTD qualification process, and to coordinate all necessary activity. The nominated person should be responsible to the department manager for confirming that all appropriate evaluations/inspections are made. (2) The ability of the applicant to secure, in compliance with the applicable requirements and certification specifications, the safe and reliable operation and proper maintenance of the FSTD should be assessed. (3) The applicant’s proposed management system should be scrutinised with particular regard to the allocated resources. Care should be taken to verify that the system is comprehensive and likely to be effective. (4) The competent authority should inform the applicant of its final decision concerning the qualification within 14 days of completion of the evaluation process. (5) On completion of the evaluation process, the application, together with a written recommendation and evidence of the result of all evaluations or assessments, should be presented to the nominated person responsible for FSTD qualification. The presentation should be made by the person with overall responsibility, nominated in accordance with (b)(1). (6) The department manager of the competent authority should only issue an FSTD qualification certificate if he or she is completely satisfied that all requirements have been met. If he or she is not satisfied, the applicant should be informed in writing of the improvements that are required in order to satisfy the competent authority. (7) If an application for an FSTD qualification is refused, the applicant should be informed of the rights of appeal that exist under national regulations.

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.100(a);(b);(c) Evaluation procedure

text: EVALUATION PROCEDURE — GENERAL

text: (a) During FSTD evaluations the competent authority should conduct an appropriate sample of the objective, functions and subjective tests detailed in the applicable qualification basis. (b) The competent authority should review an appropriate sample of results of the objective, functions and subjective tests conducted by the organisation operating the FSTD in accordance with points ORA.FSTD.105 (a)(2) and (3). (c) For the evaluation of an FSTD, the standard form as mentioned in AMC1 ARA.FSTD.100(d) should be used.

text: AMC2 ARA.FSTD.100(a);(b);(c) Evaluation procedure

text: COMPOSITION OF THE EVALUATION TEAM

text: (a) The competent authority should appoint a technical team to evaluate an FSTD in accordance with a structured routine to gain or maintain a qualification. The team should consist of at least the following personnel:

text: (1) An FSTD technical inspector qualified in aspects of flight simulation, hardware, software, as well as in methods of simulation, with sufficient technical knowledge and experience to understand and analyse objective test results and assess whether the FSTD complies with the applicable certification specifications; and (2) An FSTD flight inspector who holds or has held a privilege to instruct in accordance with Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention and meets either of the following: (i) for the aircraft being simulated, holds or has held the relevant class or type rating, as applicable; or (ii) is assisted by a person from the organisation operating the FSTD with qualifications as specified in point (a) of AMC1 ORA.FSTD.100(a). In any case, a pilot from the organisation operating the FSTD as referred to in point (a) of AMC1 ORA.FSTD.100(a) should support the technical team appointed by the competent authority to evaluate the FSTD. (b) An FSTD technical inspector or an FSTD flight inspector should be: (1) staff of the competent authority performing the evaluation; or (2) accredited inspector(s) from another competent authority; or (3) person(s) designated by the competent authority. (c) If an FSTD inspector has not participated in an FSTD evaluation in the last three years, such inspector should undergo recurrent training with a focus on areas as relevant for the FSTD evaluation, based on the needs of the individual inspector. (d) On a case-by-case basis for recurrent evaluations, the competent authority may reduce the evaluation team to one inspector, provided that all of the following conditions are met: (1) such an evaluation team composition is not being used prior to the second recurrent evaluation; (2) an evaluation performed solely by one inspector is followed by an evaluation with an evaluation team, composed by an FSTD technical inspector and an FSTD flight inspector; (3) the inspector satisfies the criteria for both positions as referred to in points (a)(1) and (2); (4) no major modification has been implemented since the preceding evaluation performed by the competent authority; (5) no relocation of the FSTD has taken place since the last evaluation; (6) a system is established enabling the competent authority to monitor and analyse the status of the FSTD on a continuous basis; (7) the FSTD hardware and software has been working reliably for the previous years, which should be reflected in the number and kind of discrepancies recorded in technical log entries and the results of the compliance monitoring system audits. (e) In the case of a BITD, the recurrent evaluation may be conducted by one suitably qualified FSTD flight inspector only.

text: FUNCTIONS AND SUBJECTIVE TESTS — SUGGESTED TEST ROUTINE

text: (a) During initial and recurrent evaluations of an FSTD, and when deemed relevant in the event of a major modification to an FSTD, the competent authority should conduct a series of functions and subjective tests that together with the objective tests complete the comparison of the FSTD with the type, variant or group of aircraft, as applicable. (b) The FSTD should provide adequate flexibility to permit the accomplishment of the desired and required tasks while maintaining an adequate perception by the flight crew that they are operating in a real aircraft environment. Additionally, the instructor operating station (IOS) should not present an unnecessary distraction from observing the activities of the flight crew whilst providing adequate facilities for the tasks. (c) The competent authority should perform sampling of the functions and subjective tests that are applicable to the device. Part of the subjective test routine for an FSTD should involve an uninterrupted fly-out and a flight where the FSTD controls such as flight freeze and repositioning are used. The evaluator(s) should brief the persons participating in the evaluation on the planned flight contents and working methods.

text: GM1 ARA.FSTD.100(a);(b);(c) Evaluation procedure

text: TYPICAL TEST PROFILES

text: The uninterrupted fly-out may be most efficiently performed by preparing a flight test profile. Examples of such profiles are provided below and should be adapted for each FSTD. (a) Typical test profile for an FSTD aeroplane:

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.100(d) Evaluation procedure

text: 5. Classification of items

text: During the FSTD evaluation, various identified items may necessitate operator resolution. It is crucial to differentiate between two distinct categories when managing these items: severity A and severity B.

text: Severity A item

text: Items categorised as severity A by the evaluation team are non-compliances related to one of the following: (a) a simulation feature, system, subsystem, component or part that fails to comply with the qualification basis, which may affect the FCS or the assigned FCS, the ESL or the FSTD qualification, and training, testing and checking and/or potentially lead to a negative transfer of training; (b) non-compliance with the qualification basis, such as objective test results being out of tolerance.

text: If a limitation is to be added to the qualification certificate, it should be entered as ‘Severity A item’ with the text ‘Limitation:’ preceding the item description.

text: Severity B item

text: Items categorised as severity B by the evaluation team are non-compliances related to simulation features, systems, subsystems, components, or parts that do not meet the conditions for classification as a severity A item.

text: Observation

text: The evaluation team records an observation in cases where compliance with the required standard is not clearly proven and therefore a subsequent assessment by the FSTD organisation is necessary. Following the outcome of each assessment, the competent authority may promote an ‘Observation’ to ‘Item’ and inform the organisation operating the FSTD.

text: Period of rectification

text: The status of each ‘Item’ and ‘Observation’ should be notified to the competent authority within the period specified in point ARA.FSTD.100(e)(1). Failure to address or clarify the ‘Item’ may

text: GM1 ARA.FSTD.100(d) Evaluation procedure

text: FSTD EVALUATION REPORT — GUIDANCE ON CLASSIFICATION OF NON-COMPLIANCES (ITEMS)

text: (a) When providing an evaluation report to the organisation operating the FSTD, the competent authority should classify the non-compliances as either severity A items or severity B items. (b) When classifying non-compliances as severity A items, the following examples may be considered. This list is not exhaustive and severity A items need to be classified on a case-bycase basis: (1) subjective tests that deviate from the aircraft behaviour and have adverse impact on training, testing, checking or potentially lead to negative training if the device is used in such condition; (2) one or several QTG is/are out of tolerance; (3) the check for the relevant systems has failed; (4) recurring, systemic or critical defects.

text: (c) When classifying non-compliances as severity B items, the following examples may be considered. This list is not exhaustive and severity B items need to be classified on a case-bycase basis:

text: (1) simulation features, systems, subsystems, components or parts that are temporarily inoperative, unusable or operating below their nominal level;

text: (2) limited use of simulation features, systems, subsystems, components or parts is possible.

text: For severity B items, the overall serviceability of the FSTD is demonstrated by the organisation.

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.115 Interim FSTD qualification

text: NEW AIRCRAFT PROGRAMME

text: (a) Aircraft manufacturers’ final data for performance, handling qualities, systems or avionics is seldom available until well after a new or derivative aircraft has entered service. Because it is often necessary to begin flight crew training and certification several months prior to the entry of the first aircraft into service, it may be necessary to use aircraft manufacturer-provided preliminary data for interim qualification of FSTDs. (b) In recognition of the sequence of events that should occur and the time required for final data to become available, the competent authority may accept the use of certain preliminary aircraft and systems data, and early release avionics in order to permit the necessary programme schedule for training, certification and service introduction. (c) The use of preliminary data is not indefinite. The aircraft manufacturer’s final data should be available within six months after the aircraft’s first ‘service entry’ or as agreed by the competent authority, the organisation and the aircraft manufacturer, but usually not later than one year. When an organisation applies for an interim qualification using preliminary data, the organisation and the competent authority should agree upon the update programme. This update programme should normally specify that the final data update will be installed in the FSTD within a period of six months but not later than two years following the final data release, unless special conditions exist, and a different schedule has been agreed between the organisation operating the FSTD and the competent authority. If the final data is not implemented in the subject FSTD within 36 months from its initial qualification, the competent authority should act in accordance with point ARA.FSTD.135(b). (d) For the qualification of FSTDs of new aircraft types, using the services of a suitably qualified test pilot for the purpose of assessment of handling qualities and performance evaluation may be beneficial.

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.120 Continuation of an FSTD qualification

text: GENERAL

text: (a) Objective Testing. During recurrent evaluations, the competent authority should seek evidence of the successful running and analysis of the QTG between evaluations. The competent authority should select a number of tests to be run during the evaluation, including those that may be a cause for concern. Adequate notification should be given when special equipment is required for the test.

text: (b) Essentially the time taken to run the objective tests depends on the need for special equipment, if any, and the test system, and the FSTD cannot be used for subjective tests or other functions whilst testing is in progress. (c) For a modern FSTD incorporating an automatic test system, four hours would normally be required. FSTDs that rely on manual testing may require a longer period of time. (d) Functions and subjective testing. A functions and subjective test profile should be flown to sample a selection of the subjective tests, as appropriate, based on the past performance of the device and the applicable qualification basis. Examples of a test profile which may be performed as part of the uninterrupted fly-out are provided in GM1 ARA.FSTD.100(a);(b);(c). (e) Normally, the time taken for recurrent subjective testing is about four hours, and the FSTD should not perform other functions during this time. If additional configurations (e.g. second engine or avionics fit) are to be tested, more time should be planned as necessary. (f) To ensure adequate coverage of functions and subjective tests and objective tests during a recurrent evaluation, a total of eight hours should be allocated. However, it should be noted that any FSTD discrepancy that arises during the evaluation could necessitate the extension of the duration of the testing.

text: AMC2 ARA.FSTD.120 Continuation of an FSTD qualification

text: EXTENDED EVALUATION PERIOD — GENERAL

text: (a) The competent authority should determine the length of the extended recurrent evaluation period of an FSTD, taking into consideration the information listed in point (a) of AMC2 ORA.FSTD.225(b). The extended evaluation period should be 24 or 36 months. (b) The extension of the recurrent evaluation period should be driven by a risk-based approach as part of the continuous oversight. The performance of the organisation, as well as the performance of the device, should be monitored. (c) Once the competent authority has granted an extended recurrent evaluation period, it may plan all subsequent recurrent evaluations of the relevant FSTD with the extended time interval of 24 or 36 months, as applicable, until it decides to revert again to a shorter recurrent evaluation period, should the conditions of point ARA.FSTD.120(c) be no longer fulfilled. (d) The audit of the management system elements, described in point ARA.FSTD.120(c)(3), may be performed remotely, at the discretion of the competent authority, considering the performance of the organisation.

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.130 Modifications

text: GENERAL

text: (a) When considering applications for a modification of an FSTD, the competent authority should ensure that accountability for the modification is clearly defined. (b) Amember of the competent authority should be appointed under whose personal authority an FSTD qualification may be modified.

text: (c) On receipt of an application for a modification of an FSTD, the competent authority should conduct such evaluations and inspections as are necessary to ensure that the full implications of the request have been addressed by the organisation operating the FSTD. (d) During the processing of a modification request, the continued adequacy of the management system should be reviewed. (e) When the request has been considered and examined, the competent authority should decide on the depth of inspection of the FSTD that is required. (f) The appointed member of the competent authority, if satisfied that the organisation operating the FSTD remains competent and the qualification of the FSTD can be maintained, should issue a revised FSTD qualification certificate, as appropriate. (g) The competent authority should inform the organisation operating the FSTD of its decision within 30 days of receipt of all documentation where no evaluation is required, or within 14 days of any subsequent evaluation.

text: AMC2 ARA.FSTD.130 Modifications

text: EVALUATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR FSTD MODIFICATIONS

text: (a) In order to determine the need for a special evaluation, the competent authority should consider: (1) the nature of the modification, its novelty, its complexity and the risk associated with the modification; (2) the performance of the organisation operating the FSTD. (b) The competent authority should consider the following factors when deciding on the scope and schedule of a special evaluation: (1) the FSTD modifications to be assessed using the applicable qualification basis; (2) the impact of the changes to the ESL; (3) the impact of the changes to the MQTG, such as: (i) updated validation data in the validation data roadmap; (ii) updated validation tests and tolerances; (iii) updated statements of justification. (c) If the organisation operating the FSTD applies for a major modification while maintaining the assigned FCS of the FSTD as specified in point (f)(2)(i) of AMC1 ORA.FSTD.110, the competent authority should conduct an evaluation in accordance with point ARA.FSTD.100(c) to assess the FSTD using its original qualification basis. If such major modification results in lowering the capabilities of the FSTD as established with the original qualification basis, the competent authority should act in accordance with point ARA.FSTD.100(e). (d) If the organisation operating the FSTD applies for a major modification to obtain an FCS as specified in point (f)(2)(ii) of AMC1 ORA.FSTD.110, the competent authority should conduct an evaluation in accordance with point ARA.FSTD.100(c) to assess the FSTD using the applicable qualification basis at the time of application for the major modification. Before re-issuing an FSTD qualification certificate with the new FCS, the competent authority should inform the applicant about the result of the evaluation.

text: GM1 ARA.FSTD.130 Modifications

text: SPECIAL EVALUATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR FSTD WITH FCS

text: AIRCRAFT SIMULATION FEATURES

text: (a) The aircraft simulation group of FSTD simulation features comprises, amongst others, ‘Performance and handling on ground’, ‘Performance and handling in-ground effect’, ‘Performance and handling out-of-ground effect’, ‘Flight control forces and hardware’ and ‘Flight control systems operation’. Changes to fidelity levels of these features usually directly affect handling and performance qualities and will result in updates to the QTG that may justify an in-depth special evaluation covering objective as well as subjective testing. (b) Aircraft simulation also includes the features ‘Flight deck layout and structure’ as well as ‘Aircraft systems’. Changes to fidelity levels of these features certainly require functions and subjective testing but may still require updates to the QTG documentation for general requirements and statements of justification, even if there are no objective validation tests affected.

text: CUEING SIMULATION FEATURES

text: (c) The cueing simulation FSTD group of features comprises ‘Visual cueing’, ‘Motion cueing’, ‘Vibration cueing’ and ‘Sound cueing’. Changes to fidelity levels of all these cueing features will likely impact the QTG general and objective testing requirements and will require both objective and subjective testing at the discretion of the competent authority. Some visual cueing feature updates may comprise mirror replacement and/or projector replacements for which the competent authority may not require a special evaluation unless the FCS is affected.

text: ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION FEATURES

text: (d) The environment simulation FSTD group of features comprises ‘Navigation’, ‘Atmosphere and weather’ as well as ‘Operating sites and terrain’. Changes to these feature fidelity levels will probably only require functional and subjective testing.

text: AMC1 ARA.FSTD.135 FSTD qualification certificate – limitation, suspension, revocation

text: FSTD QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATE ENFORCEMENT — MEASURES

text: (a) The competent authority’s inspection and monitoring process should confirm the competent authority’s continued confidence in the effectiveness of the management system of the organisation operating the FSTD, and its ability to maintain an adequate standard. (b) If the organisation operating the FSTD fails to satisfy the competent authority’s concerns, a written notification should be given to the organisation together with a firm date by which specified action to satisfy the competent authority should be taken. It should be made clear that failure to comply may result in enforced limitation, suspension or revocation of the FSTD’s qualification. (c) The competent authority should preserve quality of training, testing and checking which is of paramount importance and therefore the competent authority may immediately limit, suspend or revoke any FSTD qualification which it has issued.

text: AMC2 ARA.FSTD.135 FSTD qualification certificate – limitation, suspension, revocation

text: SUSPENSION AND LIMITATION

text: (a) When a decision has been taken to suspend or limit an FSTD qualification certificate, the organisation operating the FSTD should be informed immediately by the fastest available means. The phrase ‘quickest available means’ will in most situations mean the use of a facsimile or email message. (b) In the event of a full suspension of an FSTD qualification certificate, the organisation operating the FSTD should be instructed that the FSTD concerned cannot be used for any credited training, testing or checking. (c) Following the submission of the facsimile or email message as referred to in point (a), the competent authority should send to the organisation operating the FSTD a formal letter giving notice of suspension or limitation and setting out the conditions on which suspension or limitation may be lifted. (d) If the competent authority is notified by the organisation operating the FSTD about the cessation of the FSTD operations for a period in excess of six months, the competent authority should consider opening the process described in point (b) of AMC1 ARA.FSTD.135. (e) The FSTD qualification certificate should not remain suspended indefinitely. Further steps may be taken by the organisation operating the FSTD to reinstate the FSTD qualification or, in default, by the competent authority to revoke the FSTD qualification certificate. Should an organisation operating the FSTD wish to dispute the suspension of its FSTD’s qualification certificate, it should be informed of its rights of appeal that exist under national regulations. If an appeal is lodged, the FSTD qualification may remain suspended until the appeal process is complete. (f) Suspension of an FSTD qualification certificate may be lifted on appeal or if the organisation operating the FSTD restores the FSTD to its previously acceptable standard. (g) In neither case should operations be permitted to restart until it has been demonstrated that the cause of the suspension or limitation has been rectified. The competent authority may require a special evaluation depending on the severity of the problem. (h) The competent authority should issue a formal notice of the lifting of suspension before the organisation operating the FSTD is permitted to resume use of the FSTD.

text: REVOCATION

text: (a) The competent authority should give the organisation operating the FSTD a notice that it intends to revoke the FSTD qualification followed by a formal letter of revocation. (b) Should the organisation operating the FSTD wish to dispute this revocation, it should be informed of its rights of appeal as exist under applicable regulations. Once revoked, there can be no further activities under the terms of the FSTD qualification.

text: 10. After AMC1 ARA.GEN.305(d), new AMC1 ARA.GEN.305(f) and AMC2 ARA.GEN.305(f) are added: ‘AMC1 ARA.GEN.305(f) Oversight programme (a) When determining the oversight programme for organisations that have declared their activities, the competent authority should make a selection of the DTOs to be inspected based on the elements specified in point ARA.GEN.305(f). (b) For each selected DTO, an inspection is a sample inspection of the predefined inspection criteria on the basis of key risk elements and the applicable requirements. (c) The results of past oversight activities should include information from the DTO’s annual internal review and the DTO’s annual activity reports as well as information from the verification of the DTO’s training programme for Part-FCL compliance and occurrence reports linked to the activity of the DTO, if applicable. (d) The oversight programme should follow a risk-based approach and should be developed on a yearly basis. At least one inspection should be performed for each DTO not later than 72 months starting from the date on which the declaration was received or, subsequently, the last inspection, as applicable. (e) Additional inspections or unannounced inspections to specific DTOs may be included in the oversight programme on the basis of the elements specified in point ARA.GEN.305(f).

As a consequence, point ARA.GEN.350(e) does not require competent authorities to provide other competent authorities with an indication of the level of the findings issued to a DTO. However, point ARA.GEN.350(e) must not be understood as a prohibition for competent authorities to inform other competent authorities about the level of a finding in such a case, if such finding levels are used by that competent authority on a voluntary basis.’

text: 12. After GM1 ARA.GEN.350(e), new GM1 ARA.GEN.355(b)(1) is added: ‘GM1 ARA.GEN.355(b)(1) Limitation, suspension or revocation of licences, ratings, certificates or attestations ENFORCEMENT MEASURES IN CASE OF NON-COMPLIANCE WITH PART-FCL If the holder of a licence, rating, certificate or attestation does not or no longer comply with the applicable requirements, the competent authority, when acting in accordance with point ARA.GEN.355(b), should take enforcement measures which should be commensurate with the nature of the non-compliance. For example, if the training required for the issuing of the pilot licence was not fully completed as required, the competent authority may decide, subject to the amount and nature of the missing training elements, to suspend the licence in accordance with point ARA.FCL.250 until the missing training elements and a new skill test have been completed rather than revoking the licence.’

text: 13. ‘GM1 AMC1-ARA.GEN.355(e)’ is renamed into ‘GM1 ARA.GEN.355(e)’.

text: 14. After GM1 ARA.MED.330, new Subpart DTO is added: ‘SUBPART DTO — SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO DECLARED TRAINING ORGANISATIONS AMC1 ARA.DTO.100(a) Declaration to the competent authority ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF THE DECLARATION The competent authority should acknowledge receipt of the declaration to the DTO in writing within 10 working days. GM1 ARA.DTO.100(a) Declaration to the competent authority ASSIGNMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL DTO REFERENCE NUMBER It is recommended to create DTO reference numbers by commencing with the UN country code of the State of the competent authority to which the declaration is sent, followed by the term ‘.DTO.’ and a consecutive numbering (example: AT.DTO.001). GM2 ARA.DTO.100(a) Declaration to the competent authority The verification made by the competent authority upon receipt of the declaration does not imply an inspection. The aim is to check whether the declaration complies with the applicable requirements. AMC1 ARA.DTO.110 Verification of compliance of the training programme(s) Without prejudice to national provisions on administrative procedures, and unless the training programme has already been verified for Part-FCL compliance (AMC1 DTO.GEN.115(c)), when receiving an initial declaration, the competent authority should verify the compliance of the training programme(s) attached to that declaration within 6 months from the time it acknowledged receipt of the declaration in accordance with point ARA.DTO.100(a).’
