GM 21.B.25(c) Qualification and training    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

The CAA should ensure appropriate and adequate training of its personnel to meet the standard that is considered by the CAA necessary to perform the work. Arrangements should be made for initial and continuation training as required.

It is understood that the basic competence of the CAA staff is a matter of recruitment and normal management functions in selection of staff for particular duties. Moreover, it is understood that the CAA provides training in the basic skills as required for those duties.

However, to avoid differences in understanding and interpretation, it is considered important that all personnel involved in Part 21 activities should be provided with further training specifically related to the relevant Part 21 activity up to the common CAA standard.

The CAA should provide training through its own training organisation with qualified trainers or through another qualified training source (e.g., training provided by other competent authorities, the CAA or qualified entities).
