Requirementss to be trainer

Aviation school needs to engage trainers to prepare the students for the examinations and their careers. Luckily CAA had given the guide line under part 147 regulation 46.

The guide gives a working guide for 147 organisation to select their trainers and subsequent training. The important points are given below:

A. General Requirements

a. All the trainers or instructors have to show their familiarization of the requirements from the airworthiness authority. Depending on your situation and location, you may need to comply to CAA UK. The instructors are also required to understand the requirement of the TOE, training organisation exposition. It is normal that the TOE will include the requirements of the civil aviation authorities plus additional companies requirements. The TOE is always more stringent compared to CAA or DCA.

b. The profile of the trainers to be included in the TOE

c. The trainers can also acts as knowledge examiner or practical assessor.

B. Basic Instructor

a. He or she has the relevant EASA license in the area she is teaching. OR

b. Shows evident of working experience in the relevant areas OR

c. Experience in teaching

I like the guidelines given by CAA as it caters for operating schools as well as the new setup.
