AMC1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR ATPL, CPL, IR, CB-IR(A) and BIR
(a) Aeroplanes and helicopters
GENERAL
In the tables of this AMC, the applicable LOs for each ATPL, CPL, IR, CBIR(A)
are marked with an ‘X’, and for the BIR exam and BIR BK with the number 1, 2 or
3 (corresponding to the modules as mentioned in FCL.835 ‘Basic instrument
rating (BIR)’.
The LOs define the subject knowledge and applied knowledge, skills and
attitudes that a student pilot should have assimilated during the theoretical
knowledge course.
The LOs are intended to be used by an approved training organisation (ATO)
when developing the PartFCL theoretical knowledge elements of the appropriate
course. It should be noted, however, that the LOs do not provide a readymade
ground training syllabus for individual ATOs, and should not be seen by
organisations as a substitute for a thorough course design. Adherence to the
LOs should become part of the ATO’s compliance monitoring scheme as
required by ORA.GEN.200(a)(6).
ATOs are required to produce a training plan for each of their courses based on
the instructional systems design (ISD) methodology as specified in AMC2
ORA.ATO.230.
Additional guidance on the meaning and taxonomy of the verbs used in the LOs
can be found in GM1 FCL.310; FCL.515(b); FCL.615(b); FCL.835(d).
TRAINING AIMS

- be able to understand and apply the subject knowledge in order to be
