Why you consider that the draft requirement should be changed?

Re-phrase the requirement in a manner you want it to be

The duties envisaged for the AME require supervisory and communication skills, diagnostic prowess and a high degree of technical knowledge. The training courses should therefore be structured in such a way as to provide the trainees with sufficient ability to think logically and to apply their knowledge objectively.

The courses should also help them develop physical skills that would enable them to carry out each task in a professional manner by using good engineering and maintenance practices. At the same time, it is also important for the trainees to develop a high degree of confidence, competence, initiative, team spirit and self-reliance so that they can perform well under varying and sometimes trying circumstances.

The training course for AMEs should be designed to equip the students with the following essential capabilities that will enable them to pass the AME licence examinations conducted by DGCA

Theoretical and practical skills, technical knowledge and attitudes;familiarization with the design, construction and operation of the types of aircraft and associated equipment (including test equipment) that are in general use in the country where the trainees will work after completion of training; and

inspection ability, i.e. the necessary judgment and sense of responsibility required to assess the airworthiness of aircraft and airborne equipment.

In order to meet the intent of the above objectives and to minimize the cost of rectifying mistakes on airworthy aircraft or components, it is recommended that the training course be divided into the following three phases

Phase One - Knowledge: Consists of basic training, its completion ensures that a trainee has the necessary background in terms of knowledge to proceed to Phase Two of the training.

Phase Two - Skills: Consists of general maintenance practices, practical skills and attitude training in order to master essential skills before proceeding to work on airworthy aircraft or components

Phase Three - Experience: Consists of applied practical on-the-job training (simulated or actual tasks under supervision) and job oriented maintenance experience in an approved maintenance organisation on an operational aircraft.

Trainees should be instructed and encouraged to develop safe and neat working routines as well as a sense of responsibility, technical honesty and integrity.

Revised rule 61 of the Aircraft Rule, 1937 provides for reduction of practical aircraft maintenance experience requirement by one year for acquiring an Aircraft maintenance Engineer's Licence, in case of an applicant who had satisfactorily completed training in any training organisation approved under rule 133B

Further, Rule 133B provides for approving an organisation or person engaged in imparting training to operate under the system of approval. The rule also provides for the Director General to require , organisation or person engaged in training activities to operate under an approved system where considered necessary.

Accordingly, it has been decided that all organisations or persons engaged in imparting basic knowledge and skill training to personnel engaged in aircraft maintenance are required to acquire a licence and / or approval to inspect and certify an aircraft, shall operate under the system of approval, unless they are approved in accordance with the provisions of rule 133B and any other CAR.

Basic knowledge training organisation registered and located outside India may also seek approval from DGCA by establishing compliance to this CAR and paying prescribed additional fees.

This CAR comes into force with immediate effect in respect of new organisation or organisations seeking initial approval or existing organisations seeking changes to the scope of approval held by them.

Note 1: Organisations desirous of continuing with approval granted in accordance with CAR Section 2 Series E Part VIII to impart ab-initio training in Airframe and Avionics stream may continue to do so until 1st August 2015.

Whilst this format is recommended it is not mandatory to prepare the MTOE in this manner as long as a cross-reference index is included in the MTOE and the Part 1 items remain in Part 1.

Part 2, 3 and 4 materials may be produced as separate detailed manuals subject to the main exposition containing the part 2, 3 and 4 fundamental principles and policy on each item. It is then permitted to delegate the approval of these separate manuals to the senior person but this fact and the procedure should be specified in MTOE paragraph 1.11.

Where an organisation is approved in accordance with any other Civil Aviation Requirements, which require an exposition it is acceptable to combine the exposition requirements by merging the Part 1 items and adding the parts 2, 3 and 4. When this method is used it is essential to include the cross reference index of Part 4 item 4.5

IEM.9.a.3 Persons authorised to access the system should be maintained at a minimum to ensure that records cannot be altered in an unauthorised manner or that such confidential records become accessible to unauthorised persons.

IEM.9.a.4 Representative of DGCA is an authorised person when investigating the records system for issuance of initial and renewal of approval or when the competent authority has cause to doubt the competence of a particular person.

An appropriate selection of aircraft parts means appropriate in relation to the particular subject module or sub-module of CAR-66 being instructed. For example the turbine engine module should require the provision of sufficient parts from different types of turbine engine to show what such parts look like, what the critical areas are from a maintenance viewpoint and to enable disassembly/assembly exercises to be completed.

Appropriate aircraft, engines, aircraft parts and avionics equipment means appropriate in relation to the particular subject module or sub-module of CAR-66 being instructed. For example category B2 avionic training should require amongst other equipment, access to at least one type of installed autopilot and flight director system such that maintenance and system functioning can be observed and therefore more fully understood by the student in the working environment.

“Access” may be interpreted to mean, in conjunction with the facilities requirement of 7(d), that there may be an agreement with a maintenance organisation approved under CAR-145 to access such parts, etc.

Training course notes, diagrams and any other instructional material should be accurate. Where an amendment service is not provided a written warning to this effect should be given

The theoretical classes shall be followed by corresponding familiarisation visits, demonstration and practical exercises and the gap between these two should not exceed ten working days.

The independent audit procedure should ensure that all aspects of this CAR compliance is checked at least once in every 12 months and carried out as one complete single exercise or subdivided over a 12-month period in accordance with a scheduled plan.

In a small maintenance training organisation the independent audit function may be contracted to another maintenance training organisation approved under this CAR or a competent person acceptable to the DGCA. Where the small training organisation chooses to contract the audit function it is conditional on the audit being carried out twice in every 12 month period with one such audit being unannounced.

Where the maintenance training organisation is also approved under another CAR requiring a quality system, then such quality systems may be combined.

When training is carried out under the sub-contract control system:

a pre audit procedure should be established whereby approved maintenance training organisation’ should audit a prospective sub-contractor to determine whether the services of the sub-contractor meet the intent of this CAR.

a renewal audit of the subcontractor should be performed at least once every 12 months to ensure continuous compliance with this CAR.

IEM.13.b.4.(iii)

the sub-contract control procedure should record audits of the subcontractor and to have a corrective action follow-up plan.

The independence of the audit system should be established by always ensuring that audits are carried out by personnel not responsible for the function or procedure being checked.

Minimum five questions shall be maintained for each syllabus element. Once a question is used in an examination it shall be removed from the bank and shall not be introduced back to the question bank for a minimum period of four years.

Examinations may be computer or hard copy based or a combination of both.The actual questions to be used in a particular examination should be determined by the examination staff.

Approval shall be granted for the entire course. Provisional approval or semester wise approval or conditional approval shall not be granted, based on promises made for time bound futuristic compliance action.

Grant of approval to conduct Aircraft Maintenance Engineering training programme by DGCA does not relieve the training organisation from the responsibility of adhering to other applicable regulatory norms separately and obtaining necessary approval / licence from the respective governing bodies.

The approved training organisations are directly responsible for complying / implementing / adherence to the general and specific safety standards while conducting practical classes and aircraft maintenance related exercises by the instructional staff or the trainees wherever conducted under the approval system.

From the date of cropping up of the level 1 finding, the training imparted and examinations conducted would become invalid. The approval is deemed to be suspended, until an appropriate action is taken to the satisfaction of DGCA. Corrective action against level 1 finding should be taken immediately and within thirty days in case of level 2 finding and resolved to the satisfaction of DGCA.

All action taken report should be accompanied with necessary material evidence. Organisation shall have a system of setting a question paper proportionally covering the entire syllabus in terms of main topics and toughness level.

Details of subject module wise practical training element that a student had to perform should be listed in the MTOE along with duration to be spent in performing the practical.

To achieve the objective of the basic knowledge training programme, it is essential that the course is designed more practical oriented and the students get an opportunity to be present in the live environment, observe / perform the activity. The following terms used in the appendix VII should be interpreted as under.

IEM.Appendix VII

Facility to familiarise - Visit to the facility is arranged wherein opportunity is provided to observe the activity or get acquaintance with the aircraft items / process.

IEM.Appendix VII

Facility to demonstrate - Single or multiple facility is established or arranged and the activity is performed providing opportunity to the students to observe and feel the items or associate with the process.

IEM.Appendix VII

Facility to perform / practice - Facilities are established or arranged so that individual student performs / practice the activity to understand the concept / operating principle or develop the basic aircraft maintenance skill.

IEM.Appendix VII

The training organisation may establish its own facilities or make a viable legally valid arrangement with other organisations to facilitate delivery of lessons in sequence as per the syllabus. Eighty percentage of the established or arranged facility in respect of a particular subject module shall lie within the municipality limits of the city in which the organisation is located. If the number of visits required to facilities located outside the organisation’s premises from where normally theoretical classes are conducted is more than ten during a semester, then such facilities shall be located at a distance of thirty minutes travel time from the organisation.

IEM.Appendix VII

Where applicable, the facilities / aircraft equipment or component owned or arranged by the organisation for training purpose shall be of a type currently used in a civil aircraft unless the subject of discussion is purely for academic interest or generic in nature.

IEM.Appendix VII

The need for functional aircraft system, equipment and component cannot be wholly substituted by mock-ups and audio-visual aids as they cannot be used to develop individual’s aircraft maintenance skill.

IEM.Appendix VII

The established or arranged aircraft and its system related facilities should be supported by the respective manufacturer’s technical literature or maintenance data to facilitate description, maintenance and operation.

IEM.Appendix VII

The facilities required for maintenance of aircraft and its associated system may be limited to the line and base maintenance upto 3 years / 6000 hrs / 12000 cycles.

IEM.Appendix VII

Though it is not mandatory for the organisation to have all the facilities, it is desirable that the training organisation establish own facilities rather than relying on contracts wherein ‘facility to demonstrate or perform or practice’ had been mandated.

Manner of assessing and determining the staff requirement

The primary objective of the quality system is to enable the training organisation to satisfy itself that it can deliver properly trained students and that the organisation remains in compliance with this CAR.

The Quality audit is a process of routine sample checks of all aspects of the training organisation’s ability to carry out all training to the required standards. It represents an overview of the complete training system and does not replace the need for instructors to ensure that they carry out training to the required standard

A report should be raised each time an audit is carried out describing what was checked and any resulting findings. The report should be sent to the affected department(s) for rectification action giving target rectification dates. Possible rectification dates may be discussed with the affected department(s) before the quality department confirms such dates on the report. The affected department(s) should rectify any findings and inform the quality department of such rectification

A large training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for 50 students or more)]should have a dedicated quality audit group whose sole function is to conduct audits, raise finding reports and follow up to ensure that findings are being rectified. For the small training organisation (an organisation with the capacity to provide training for less than 50 students) it is acceptable to use competent personnel from one section/department not responsible for the function or procedure to check the section/department that is responsible subject to the overall planning and implementation being under the control of the quality manager.

The management control and follow up system should not be contracted to outside persons. The principal function is to ensure that all findings resulting from the Quality Audit are corrected in a timely manner and to enable the accountable manager to remain properly informed of the state of compliance. Apart from rectification of findings the accountable manager should hold routine meetings to check progress on rectification except that in the large training organisation such meetings may be delegated on a day to day basis to the quality manager as long as the accountable manager meets at least once per year with the senior staff involved to review the overall performance.

The multiple choice questions should have syllabus topic reference, minimum three options, key to the question, toughness level, reference book title and page number, details of personnel involved in framing the question and review and last date of exposure

DGCA will determine when or if the disqualified examiner may be reinstated.When the maintenance training organisation is approved in accordance with any other CAR which also requires an exposition, the exposition required by the other CAR may form the basis of the maintenance training organisation exposition in a combined document., as long as the other exposition contains the information required by this paragraph and a cross reference index is included based upon Appendix X.

When training is carried out under the sub-contract control system the maintenance training organisation exposition should contain a specific procedure on the control of sub-contractors as per Appendix X item 2.18 plus a list of sub-contractors as required by 15.a.12 and detailed in MTOE, Part I of item 7.

DGCA may approve a delegated exposition approval system for changes other than those affecting the approval.

The assessment of the organisation will be carried out on Form 22. The observations made during the audit will be communicated to the organisation by the team leader within five working days in writing from the date of completion of the assessment.

If required, the review audit will be carried out within two months of submission of action taken report.

Approval will not be granted or extended with pending compliance action.Failure to complete the rectification of any level 1 finding within three days of written notification shall entail revocation, suspension or limitation by the competent authority, of the maintenance training organisation approval in whole or in part.

Failure to complete the rectification of any level 1 finding within three days of written notification shall entail revocation, suspension or limitation by DGCA, of the maintenance training organisation approval in whole or in part.

In the case of a level 2 finding, the DGCA may give up to 1 month notice of the need for rectification. Dependent upon seriousness of the level 2 finding(s) the DGCA may choose a notice period less than 1 month.

DGCA may revoke, limit or suspend in whole or part the approval in case of failure to take effective action or to comply within the time scale granted by the DGCA in the case of a level 2 finding.

Without physically taking any action on the ground, promises made for futuristic action or proposed corrective actions are not considered adequate and satisfactory. Hence, Audit findings should not be closed with proposed action or a futuristic action plan.

As far as DGCA is concerned, the closure of the finding is based on the ground reality only.

When the DGCA chooses to allow 1 months, the initial notification should be of 1 months duration to the quality manager followed by the final 15 days notice to the accountable manager.

If a particular practical exercise requires one hour for a student to complete it and due to inadequate multiple facilities for several student to perform the same practical simultaneously, even if a total six hours is consumed by six students taking turn to repeat the practical, the total practical training period shall be treated as one hour only.

When an institute is approved to impart training in Aeroplanes Turbine and Piston or Helicopters Turbine and Piston additional 400 hours (for complete module) corresponding to the additional module and syllabus topics should be added to the above course duration.
