AMC 147.A.200(f) The approved basic training course    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

1. In order to follow pedagogical and human factors principles, the maximum number of training hours per day for the theoretical training should not be more than 6 hours. A training hour means 60 minutes of tuition excluding any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visit. In exceptional cases, the CAA may allow deviation from this standard when it is properly justified that the proposed number of hours follows pedagogical and human factors principles. These principles are especially important in those cases where:

— Theoretical and practical training are performed at the same time;

— Training and normal maintenance duty/apprenticeship are performed at the same time.

2. The minimum participation time for the trainee to meet the objectives of the course should not be less than 90 % of the tuition hours. Additional training may be provided by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum participation time. If the minimum participation defined for the course is not met, a certificate of recognition should not be issued.
