Meeting EASA Part 145 Initial & Continuation Training Requirements

Meeting EASA Part 145 Initial Continuation Training RequirementsSofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com provides support for EASA Part 145 organisations to meet and exceed all regulatory training obligations to support the acquisition of knowledge and building of competence throughout the organisation. 

Introduction – Ref Appendix IV to AMC5 145.A.30(e) and AMC2 145.B.200(a)(3) Fuel Tank Safety Training (ED Decision 2022/011/R)

Approval of training – For Part-145 approved organisations, the approval of the initial and continuation training programme and the content of the examination can be achieved by the change to the MOE. The necessary changes to the MOE to meet the content of this decision should be made and implemented at the time requested by the competent authority.

Meeting and Documenting the Initial & Continuation Organisational Obligations 

Reference the above statement by EASA – the burden is placed on the competent authority to require an update of the MOE to reflect the Management and Control of Initial & Recurrent Training. So is it a case of “don’t ask – don’t tell!” 

The takeaway from this is that ultimately the organisation is responsible to self-manage to ensure compliance with ALL regulatory obligations & not to wait to be told what to do by the CA (do you agree?)

So, what needs to be done?

  • - Understand the Regulatory Requirements related to EASA 145 Organisations
  • - Assess the Training Options to meet the objectives (Internal / External)
  • - Choose the Training Solution which meets your objectives (Reliability, Cost, Compliance)
  • - Continue to Review and Audit the Solution for Continuing Compliance
