[[COMPANY NAME]] Contract TrainingOPSPEC A031 Standardization Review Process

A standardization review process is required in order for an operator, training provider and FAA principal operations inspector (POI) to understand and coordinate the training and qualification of crewmembers, instructors and check airman. Operations specification (OpSpec) paragraph A031 documents and authorizes an operator to utilize another organization such as a part 142 training center to conduct training for the operator. A standardization review and a separate audit is required by OpSpec paragraph A031 and must be accomplished to ensure that training and evaluation provided for the operator is conducted in accordance with the operator’s approved program, operator policies and procedures, and the regulatory requirements applicable to the operator.

Standardization Review

The purpose of a standardization review is to determine the capabilities of the training provider relative to the operator’s training requirements and to identify, in detail, the specific portions (or components) of the air carrier’s approved training program or curriculum that the training center will provide. The standardization review process will also establish the policies and procedures that will be followed by the training center during contract training as well as establish the training and qualification of personnel that conduct training and evaluation for the operator. The standardization review will form the basis for the operator’s audit program procedures where the operator will evaluate the actual training provided by the training center.

The operator is responsible for conducting a standardization review of the training provider:• Prior to the start of any contract training or checking operations by a training provider. The POI must

be provided the results of the standardization review (including required training of contract personnel) prior to the issuance of OpSpec paragraph A031.

• Any time a major change affects the operator’s contract crewmember training during the 24 month interval.

• When a new curriculum is added at a center’s location or an additional center is authorized to provide training under an existing curriculum.

Separately, the operator must conduct an audit of actual contract training and/or checking operations by the training provider. This audit must be completed and report submitted to the POI within 60 days after the commencement of contract training and/or checking operations. In order to maintain A031 authorization to conduct contract training, recurrent audit reports are due to the POI thereafter at intervals not greater than 24 calendar months.

As part of the standardization review, an operator certificated under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 119, must clearly define the training and checking items that the carrier’s POI has approved the training center to provide for the operator. Items that have not been pre-approved by the respective POI will not be credited toward the completion of that operator’s training requirements. This must be accomplished by developing, as part of the training program, a method to identify the specific training that will be accomplished each party such as a Source of Training document. In many cases, the training center and the operator have joint responsibility for the satisfactory completion of a particular training module (e.g., adverse weather, weight and balance, etc.) within the curriculum. When this is the case the training module in the curriculum must be broken into

elements or events and clearly show which element or event will be provided by the training center. The following example illustrates how this may be accomplished.

Module and Elements Source

Weight and Balance Determination J

Aircraft Manufacturers Weight and Balance Procedures (AFM) TP Definitions TP Limitations TP Load Shift / Fuel Management and Use TP Operations Specifications (Paragraphs A096, A097, A098) O FAA Advisory Circular AC 120.27E O Carry-on baggage identification, load and storage O Passenger weight determination—average, surveyed, actual O Baggage / freight weight determination O Cabin configuration and loading O Baggage compartment loading and security O Air carrier computation method (manual, computer) O Manifest preparation OJ training provider and operator

both provide a portion of the training topic

TP topic is provided by contract training provider

O operator provides training in the topic

Note: In this case, 14 CFR part 135.293(a)(3) checking cannot be accomplished by a contract check airman at a training center, since the entire topic area was not provided by the training center and therefore the check airman was not fully trained. Check airman authorization would be limited in this case.

During initial contract discussions, it is necessary for the operator and the contract training provider (training center) to convene a standardization program meeting to review the relevant topics covering each party’s responsibilities for the implementation of the operator’s approved program, the accomplishment of contracted training, evaluations, and administrative practices required by the operator and their approved training curriculums.

The following document provides a sample of a standardization review and audit program between an operator and a 14 CFR part 142 training center. It is important to understand that the document was developed as an example and it is possible that not every item shown may be appropriate for every operator. It is also possible that not every training area is represented by this example and additional items may be added for individual operators. The document should be modified as necessary to meet the needs of a particular operator.

Note: The use of the words,” If applicable,” in the response block may indicate that the operator, if a one-pilot operation, has no regulatory requirement to have or maintain a Training Program or GOM.

Maintenance Program[[COMPANY NAME]] and FlyRight

To enable the continuance of an effective standards program, both operator and contract training provider will establish a system of policies and procedures to enhance and maintain communication among all concerned personnel.

Information Exchange The contract training provider will appoint a “Customer Liaison” who will maintain a close working relationship with a designated operator counterpart. This individual will be responsible for the resolution of minor issues concerning standardization and administration that may come up from time to time. Additionally, he/she will ensure timely recognition of potential problems while ensuring those areas requiring management resolution and/or program modification are brought to the operator’s attention in a timely manner. Matters regarding revisions to the training provider’s curriculum, personnel, courseware or flight training equipment as well as changes to the operator’s approved training program and recordkeeping systems, are a necessary part of the information exchange process.

Standardization Meetings Periodic meetings and teleconferences will be scheduled to provide ongoing consistency and standardization within the programs. These meetings and teleconferences will involve all necessary personnel to enable timely dissemination and/or the implementation of any changes that may be made by the operator to its respective training and evaluation curricula, or by the training provider to its organizational support structure as that structure relates to the training/evaluation of the air carrier’s flight crewmembers, standardization of contract personnel
