ARA.GEN.200(a)(2) GM3 Management system
The meaning of ‘relevant ratings and certificates appropriate to the level of the training conducted’, as
used in AMC2 ARA.GEN.200(a)(2), is explained below:
- the range of activities in an ATO may vary from instructions for the simple singleengined
aircraft to type training for CS25certified multipilot aircraft;
- in the context of the general approval of the ATO, experience in similar types or classes of
aircraft is acceptable;
- the inspector has the instructional experience in the same or similar types or the same
class of aircraft intended to be flown within the ATO (e.g. a type rating to assess the type
training programmes); and
- the experience in CS25certified multipilot aircraft will not, for example, equip the inspector
to assess the training programme in an ATO operating only singleengine piston (SEP)
(land) aircraft; similarly,experience as a PPL instructor will not necessarily equip the
inspector to assess a type training course for a CS25 aircraft; in both cases, additional
appropriate training in the applicable environment is necessary.
