FCL.825(d) AMC1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR ATPL, CPL, IR, CB-IR(A) and EIR
(a) Aeroplanes and helicopters
GENERAL
In the tables of this AMC, the applicable LOs for each ATPL, CPL, IR, CBIR(A) and EIR are
marked with an ‘X’.
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
