Our friends at AEA have
started alerting the aviation industry (primarily, repair stations)
to comment on problems they see with the latest DRAFT Part 145
Training AC. We're happy to pass it along to you and urge you to
suppport AEA's effots with your study of the Draft AC and your
comments.
SUBJECT: FAA Publishes DRAFT Part 145 Training
AC for Comment
SUMMARY: The long awaited Advisory Circular
defining the scope and description of the Repair Station Training
manual has now been published for public review and comment.
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS:
The Proposal includes requirements to develop written job
descriptions, develop a baseline for knowledge and measure the
qualification of all current and future employees against this
baseline in order to perform a “training needs
assessment."
The minimum training criteria includes mandatory Indoctrination
Training, Initial qualification Training, Recurrent Training, and
when necessary, Remedial Training.
Each repair station will have to have a Training
Supervisor/Manager who will manage this program and
“police” industry instructors, (including those
presenting at FAA IA approved programs.)
AEA COMMENTARY:
The proposed AC exceeds all promises and expectation given by
the FAA during Part 145 rulemaking.
The proposed training criteria are EXTREMELY onerous for a small
Repair Station. AEA encourages EVERY repair station to take the
time over the next TWO weeks to read the proposed AC and submit
comment to the FAA with a copy to Ric Peri at AEA.
Comments are due BEFORE January 21, 2005.
