Training is the structured approach to enhance someone’s knowledge which often involves the undertaking of specific taught courses (theoretical knowledge) or on the job training (skills) where a person is given the knowledge needed to apply theory into practice. Often it is the combination of both. The EGR training without a doubt should be composed of a combination of those elements.
However, competency consists of a number of aspects, of which training is only one. Others include skills, knowledge, experience, appreciation, and understanding of the task at hand. It should be noted that training and/or qualifications alone will not necessarily mean that a person is competent.

SofemaOnline looks at the preparation for the Engines during the Aircraft Lease Return.

The lessee’s challenge during the end of lease handover is to have “All” and we really do mean “All” information that the lessor may require to hand.
Consider that there are some months to prepare this information - conversely consider the pain of last-minute hunting (and potentially failing to find the required information).
We have previously discussed the cost of poor preparation and the impact it can have on the Operators Cashflow.
