ORO.FC.220&230 GM5 Operator conversion training and checking & recurrent training and checking
PERSONNEL PROVIDING FSTD UPSET PREVENTION AND RECOVERY TRAINING (UPRT)
It is of paramount importance that personnel providing UPRT in FSTDs have the specific competence
to deliver such training, which may not have been demonstrated during previous instructor
qualification training. Operators should, therefore, have a comprehensive training and standardisation
programme in place, and may need to provide FSTD instructors with additional training to ensure
such instructors have and maintain complete knowledge and understanding of the UPRT operating
environment, and skill sets.
Standardisation and training should ensure that personnel providing FSTD UPRT:
(1) are able to demonstrate the correct upset recovery techniques for the specific aeroplane
type;
(2) understand the importance of applying type-specific Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) procedures for recovery manoeuvres;
(3) are able to distinguish between the applicable SOPs and the OEMs recommendations (if
available);
(4) understand the capabilities and limitations of the FSTD used for UPRT, based on the
applicable FSTD training envelope;
(5) are aware of the potential of negative transfer of training that may exist when training
outside the capabilities of the FSTD;
(6) understand and are able to use the IOS of the FSTD in the context of effective UPRT
delivery;
(7) understand and are able to use the FSTD instructor tools available for providing accurate
feedback on flight crew performance;
(8) understand the importance of adhering to the FSTD UPRT scenarios that have been
validated by the training programme developer; and
(9) understand the missing critical human factor aspects due to the limitations of the FSTD
and convey this to the flight crew receiving the training.
ORO.FC.220(b) GM1 Operator conversion training and checking
COMPLETION OF AN OPERATOR’S CONVERSION COURSE
(a) The operator conversion course is deemed to have started when the flight training has
begun. The theoretical element of the course may be undertaken ahead of the practical
element.
(b) Under certain circumstances the course may have started and reached a stage where,
for unforeseen reasons, it is not possible to complete it without a delay. In these
circumstances, the operator may allow the pilot to revert to the original type.
(c) Before the resumption of the operator conversion course, the operator should evaluate
how much of the course needs to be repeated before continuing with the remainder of the
course.
ORO.FC.220(c) GM1 Operator conversion training and checking
OPERATOR CONVERSION COURSE (OCC) FOR MULTI-CREW PILOT LICENCE (MPL)
HOLDERS
When defining the amount of training for MPL holders, who undertake their first conversion course on
a new type or at an operator other than the one that was involved in their training for the MPL, the
operator should put a process in place to ensure that corrective action can be taken if post-MPL
licence training evaluation indicates the need to do so.
ORO.FC.220(d) GM1 Operator conversion training and checking
LINE FLYING UNDER SUPERVISION
(a) Line flying under supervision provides the opportunity for a flight crew member to carry
into practice the procedures and techniques he/she has been made familiar with during
the ground and flight training of an operator conversion course. This is accomplished
under the supervision of a flight crew member specifically nominated and trained for the
task. At the end of line flying under supervision the respective crew member should be
able to perform a safe and efficient flight conducted within the tasks of his/her crew
member station.
(b) A variety of reasonable combinations may exist with respect to:
(1) a flight crew member's previous experience;
(2) the complexity of the aircraft concerned; and
(3) the type of route/role/area operations.
(c) Aeroplanes
The following minimum figures for details to be flown under supervision are guidelines for
operators to use when establishing their individual requirements:
(1) turbo-jet aircraft
(i) co-pilot undertaking first operator conversion course:
(A) total accumulated 100 hours or minimum 40 flight sectors;
