(2)Training on emergency procedures should cover pilot incapacitation procedures and crowd control techniques.

(3)CRM training should satisfy the following:

(i)the applicable training elements specified in Table 1 of AMC1 ORO.CC.115(e) should be covered within a 3-yearcycle to the level required by column ‘Annual Recurrent Training’;

(ii)the definition and implementation of the CRM training programme should be managed by a cabin crew CRM trainer; and

(iii)when CRM training is provided by stand-alone modules, it should be conducted by at least one cabin crew CRM trainer.

(b)Additional triennial elements of recurrent training programme

(1)Training on the operation of normal and emergency doors/exits should cover failure of power assist systems where fitted. This should include the actions and forces required to operate and deploy evacuation slides, and additional training when relevant for cabin crew members responsible for a pair of doors/exits.

(2)Training in the use of all firefighting equipment, including protective clothing, representative of that carried in the aircraft should include individual practice by each cabin crew member to extinguish a fire characteristic of an aircraft interior fire except that, in the case of halon extinguishers, an alternative extinguishing agent may be used. Training should place particular emphasis on identifying the actual source of fire or smoke.

(3)Training on normal and emergency procedures for special categories of passengers (SCPs) should cover the specific procedures established by the operator for the carriage of SCPs. The operator may determine that such training is to be completed at shorter intervals, taking into account the route structure, passenger profiles, aircraft types operated, seasonal demands and operations.
