necessary conditions, such as completion of required training, or acquisition of a diploma or degree, or
through the gaining of suitable experience. It also includes the ability, capacity, knowledge, or skill that
matches or suits an occasion, or makes someone eligible for a duty, office, position, privilege, or
status.
Certain posts may by nature be associated with the possession of certain qualifications in a specific
field (e.g. rescue and firefighting, civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering, wildlife biology etc.). In
such cases, the person occupying such a post is expected to possess the necessary qualifications at
a level that is in accordance with the applicable national or European Union legislation.
ADR.AR.B.005(a)(2) GM4 Management system
QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING - GENERAL
(a) To ensure personnel remain competent, arrangements should be made for initial and
recurrent training as required.
(b) With regard to sequence of particular components of initial training, the CAA should ensure
that on-the-job training is undertaken only by trainees that have successfully completed the
initial theoretical and practical training.
(c) The basic capability of the CAA’s personnel is a matter of recruitment, and normal
management functions in selection of personnel for particular duties. Moreover, the CAA
should provide training in the basic skills, as required for those duties. However, to avoid
differences in understanding and interpretation, it is considered important that all personnel
be provided with further training specifically related to the applicable requirements of
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, its Implementing Rules and related AMC, CS and GM, as
well as related to the assessment of alternative means of compliance.
(d) The CAA may provide training through its own training organisation with qualified trainers or
through another qualified training source (e.g. training provided by other competent
authorities).
(e) When training is not provided through an internal training organisation, adequately
experienced and qualified persons may act as trainers, provided their training skills have
been assessed. If required, an individual training plan should be established covering
specific training skills. Records should be kept of such training and of the assessment, as
appropriate.
ADR.AR.B.005(a)(2) GM5 Management system
TRAINING PROGRAMME AND RECURRENT TRAINING
When preparing the training programme, the CAA should determine the areas for which the training
may include realistic training elements.
As an example, the RFFS training could include parts of, or be the same with that of an aerodrome
operator’s RFFS personnel. If an aerodrome operator provides such training, care should be taken to
avoid any possible conflict of interest.
ADR.AR.B.005(a)(2) GM6 Management system
RECENT EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR AERODROME INSPECTORS
(a) An aerodrome inspector will remain qualified if he/she performs a minimum number of two
aerodrome audits/inspections during the previous 12 months. In case the minimum
number of audits/inspections are not achieved due to the number of aerodromes in a UK,
audits/inspections conducted on other aerodromes which are open to public use, but do
not fall within the scope of Regulation (EU) 139/2014 as retained (and amended in UK
domestic law) under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, may also be taken into
account.
(b) If an aerodrome inspector loses his/her qualification as a result of not reaching the
minimum number of inspections mentioned in paragraph (a), he/she may be re-qualified by
the CAA by performing the number of the missed audits/inspections under the supervision
of a qualified aerodrome inspector. The missed audits/inspections should take place within
a maximum period of three months following the end of the period within which he/she
should have reached the minimum number of audits/inspections.
(c) If an aerodrome inspector loses his/her qualification because he/she has not been
engaged in performing audits/inspections for a period longer than that established in
paragraph (a) but less than 24 months, he/she should be re-qualified by the CAA only after
successfully completing the on-the-job-training, and any recurrent training required.
(d) If an aerodrome inspector loses his/her qualification because he/she has not been
engaged in performing audits/inspections for more than 24 months, he/she should be fully
re-qualified by the CAA only after successfully completing initial theoretical, practical, and
on- the-job training.

control, and distribution of necessary technical documentation;
