Annual Staff Training

A 147 approved aviation schools conducting programs according to part 66 has to have an annual staff training plan for its staff. The requirements as per EASA is, all listed staff, such as the instructors, knowledge examiners and assessors need to comply to the minimum of 35 hrs/ 24 every months.

The schools are required to prepare an annual training plan for its own staff giving the list of courses
- annual training plan
- training records for all relevant staff.

In order to meet this requirement, my school is making plan to start the training program. I know that it is already April, rather a bit late to build an annual training plan for 2012, but I just join the school in April, just 2 weeks ago and the school does not have the plan.

I am calling a meeting tomorrow to start the ball rolling. I have 3 objectives, information spreading, get feedback and decision.

Some of the slide contents are given below...

1- background 147 organization to establish and control the competence of the trainers. Training Schedule and Records to be kept. (caa)
