        Differences training is the training required in order to cover the differences between  two different aircraft type ratings of the same manufacturer as determined by the DGCA.        Differences training has to be defined on a case-to-case basis taking into account t he requirements contained in Appendix III in respect of both theoretical and  practical elements of type rating training         (iii) A type rating shall only be endorsed on a licence after differences training when t he applicant also complies with one of the following conditions: — having already endorsed on the licence the aircraft type rating from which the  differences are being identified, or — having completed the type training requirements for the aircraft from which t he differences are being identified

                Aircraft type training shall consist of theoretical training and examination, and, except  for the category C ratings, practical training and assessment.                Theoretical training and examination shall comply with the following requirements:                    (i) Shall be conducted by a maintenance training organisation appropriately                                approved  in accordance with CAR-147 or, when conducted by other                                        organisations, as  directly approved by the DGCA.                    (ii) Shall comply, except as permitted by the differenc...

                 OJT shall be approved by the DGCA .It shall be conducted at and under the control of AMO approved for the maintenance of the particular aircraft type and                     Assessed by designated assessors appropriately qualified.                           It shall have been started and completed within the 3 years preceding the application for a type rating endorsement.          Objective:  of OJT is to gain the required competence and experience in performing safe maintenance.           Content:  OJT shall cover a cross section of tasks acceptable to the DGCA.

          Orient Flight s published schedule of refresher course is going to be conducted on 15th and 16 march.               Continuation training(Refresher Course) is one of the requirement for renewal of AME licence by DGCA or renewal of Certification Authorisation by Quality Dept in any organisation.              Continuation training is a two way process to ensure that certifying staff remain current in terms of procedures, human factors and technical knowledge and that the organisation receives feedback on the adequacy of its procedures and maintenance instructions.               Due to the interactive nature of this training, consideration should be given to the possibility that such training has the involvement of the quality department to ensure that feedback is actioned.              There should be a...

                   Adverse weather is an integral part of flight operations. Adverse weather prevails in one part of an operator’s network or another at different times of the year. In India, monsoon period is a defined period of adverse weather.  Despite the annual occurrence and predicted regularity of the Indian Monsoon, aviation incidents/ accidents occur every year.                  Analysis has shown that most of the incidents and accidents, that have occurred, were not generally attributable to inadequacies in aircraft performance but occurred mostly due to various deficiencies/shortcomings of the human element. Operating techniques applicable to each aircraft, under various generic adverse weather conditions, exist in flight manuals and must be adhered to. However, to ensure an enhanced level of safety, the reinforcement of these operating practices in the context of the Indian ...

 Type examination standard where type training is not required: The examination must be oral, written or practical assessment based, or a combination thereof. Oral examination questions must be open.  Written examination questions must be multiple-choice questions. Practical assessment must determine a person's competence to perform a task.  Examination subjects must be on a sample of subjects drawn from  type training/examination syllabus, at the indicated level. The examination must ensure that the following objectives are met: Properly discuss with confidence the aircraft and its systems. Ensure safe performance of maintenance, inspections and routine work according to the maintenance manual and other relevant instructions and tasks as appropriate for the type of aircraft, for example troubleshooting, repairs, adjustments, replacements, rigging and functional checks such as engine run, etc, if required. Correctly use all technical literature and docume...

Type training must include a theoretical and practical element. Theoretical element As a minimum the elements in the Syllabus below that are specific to the aircraft type must be covered. Additional elements introduced due to technological changes shall also be included. Training levels are those levels defined in paragraph 1 above. Personnel desirous of obtaining Category / Sub-category “A” licence with type rating shall pass appropriate type examination conducted by DGCA or where applicable shall successfully complete an approved type training. Under the later circumstances the level of training shall be a level lower than the one described below for a B1 Category type course. After the first type course for category C certifying staff, all subsequent courses for extension in the same category need only be to level 1 standard. General Aircraft(dimensions/weights MTOW etc) Time limits/maintenance checks Leveling and weighing Towing and taxiing Parking/mooring Servicing Sta...

The three levels listed below define the objectives that a particular level of training is intended to achieve.
