147.A.105(f) Experience and qualifications of instructors, examiners and assessors

Any person currently accepted by the competent authority in accordance with the national aviation regulations in force prior to Part-147 coming into force may continue to be accepted in accordance with 147.A.105(f). Paragraph 3 of Appendix III to AMC to Part-66 provides criteria to establish the qualification of assessors. The instructors should be trained in the subject they deliver, including the appropriate training methods and tools, as applicable.

The instructor that uses new training technologies (e.g. e-tutor, tele-tutor, tele-trainer) should be trained in using these technologies, as well as in the coaching, guiding and assisting of e-learning students. It is important that the instructor understands the electronically based distance-learning process, has the competence to remotely evaluate the learning behaviour of e-learning students and is able to proactively support their learning process. The following structure provides an example of such an instructor training, as applicable: changes and tendencies of today’s training; fundamentals of methodology and didactics; basics and theory of e-learning and tele-tutoring; communication in virtual environments; the changed role of students and instructors; competence profile of a tele-tutor; practical guide to support learning processes; assessment of students’ performance; the learning management system.
