New EASA Regulations Part 2

New EASA regulations Part 2

A continuation from the previous post..

Type Training Requirements

1. Before this new regulation, type course training didn't have any validity.
But with the new rules,  theory + practical training will have to be completed within 3 years.

2. There are now waiting periods imposed for type training examinations. These waiting attempts are based on 'sets' of 3 consecutive attempts: 

          -30 days after 1st try of 3 consecutive attempts
          -60 days after 2nd try of 3 consecutive attempts
          - 1 year after the 3rd try of 3 consecutive attempts

3.SOJT must be conducted by an approved 147 school. So it looks like even if you do have the theory certificate and working with a Part 145 organisation, you will not be able to do the OJT. It needs to be conducted by a Part 147 school.

4.There is a difference now between 'practical' and 'on the job' training with regards to a type course. 

PRACTICAL TRAINING:
-Practical training is now specific for OJT after a type course when this is NOT your first type to be endorsed in your basic license. 
-Practical training for the type course can be performed as an integrated part of the theory element or performed after. However, practical training cannot be performed before the course.
-Part of the practical can include classroom instruction and/or simulators but ultimately there must be some time allocated for visits to aircraft in a maintenance environment.
  
ON THE JOB
-On the job training is now associated when you are doing your OJT for your FIRST type rating endorsement in your basic license.
-It is not part of the type course trainig.
-Cannot be conducted by a Part-147 school but must be conducted under the supervision of a Part-145 organisation.
-Up to 50% of the OJT can be performed before the theory element for the type course.
-There is now a list in the new regulation (Appendix II of the AMC) of which the applicant must complete 50% of the tasks.
