Show the text

The term ‘qualification’ used in the introductory sentence of point ORO.FC.005 should be understood as referring not only to the initial qualification of a flight crew member, but also to its maintenance and/or revalidation/renewal (requalification). Whenever the Regulation calls on the operator to establish training for the qualification of flight crew, this should be understood as including requalification.
