ADR.AR.B.005(a)(2) AMC2 Management system
QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING -AERODROME INSPECTORS
(a) Initial training should encompass:
(1) Initial theoretical training
The scope of the initial theoretical training is to familiarise the trainee aerodrome
inspectors with the finding categorisation, reporting, followup procedures, and
enforcement. The primary scope of the theoretical training is not the transfer of
technical knowledge as the trainees should possess such knowledge, either from
previous work experience or through specialised training, prior to attending the
theoretical course (for the areas to be covered in the training programme see AMC1
ADR.AR.B.005(a)(2)). Amongst others, the theoretical training should cover theory of
audits and inspections, as well as quality/safety assurance.
(2) Practical training
The scope of practical training is to instruct on audit/inspection techniques and
specific areas of attention without interference with the operation of the aerodrome
activities.
The CAA should ensure that trainees have successfully completed the initial
theoretical and practical training above by passing a relevant assessment.
(3) On-the-job training
The objective of the onthejob training is to familiarise the trainees with the
particularities of performing an aerodrome audit/inspection in a real, operational
environment.
a) Duration and conduct of the on-the-job training
The duration of the onthejob training should be customised to the particular
training needs of every trainee and cover, as much as possible, the
audit/inspection items which the inspector will be privileged to inspect. The
onthejob training should include at least four aerodrome audits/ inspections.
b) The scope and elements to be covered during the on-the-job training
(i) Preparation of an audit/inspection:
(A) sources of information for preparation of audit/inspection;
(B) areas of concern and/or open findings;
(C) selection of aerodrome operator(s) to be audited/inspected; and
(D) task allocation among members of the audit/inspection team.
