AMC1 Appendix III Aircraft type training and type evaluation standard — on-the-job training (OJT) Section 3

AIRCRAFT TYPE TRAINING STANDARD Training methods are categorised as ‘instructor-centred’, ‘student-centred’ and ‘blended training’. The actual training method and the training tools should be adapted to suit the training subject and be chosen considering their intrinsic characteristics, such as but not limited to their efficiency and the pedagogical benefits of the method/tool. A complex or critical subject should not normally be taught solely through a student-centred method unless provisions are in place to verify the actual and progressive acquisition of knowledge of the student. Complex and critical areas should be identified by the training needs analysis (TNA). The complexity and criticality of the areas could differ on a case-by-case basis (that is, areas proven to be critical by organisations’ ‘in-service events’, occurrence reporting, human factors, safety, etc.), but should in any case cover the maintenance areas with special emphasis (MASE) identified by the type-certificate holder (TCH) in its operational suitability data (OSD).
