ensure that the flight crew member receives training
on:
(A) the application of the operations policy
concerning the use of automation as stated in the
operations manual; and
(B) system and human limitations associated with the
use of automation, giving special attention to issues
of mode awareness, automation surprises and over-
reliance including false sense of security and
complacency.
(ii) The objective of this training should be to provide
appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes for
managing and operating automated systems. Special
attention should be given to how automation
increases the need for crews to have a common
understanding of the way in which the system
performs, and any features of automation that make
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Monitoring and intervention Flight crew should be trained in CRM-related aspects

and stressful situations. The training should cover:
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Cultural differences CRM training should cover cultural differences of
multinational and cross-cultural crews.
This includes recognising that:
(i) different cultures may have different
communication specifics, ways of understanding and
65. approaches to the same situation or problem;
(ii) difficulties may arise when crew members with
different mother tongue communicate in a common
language which is not their mother tongue; and
(iii) cultural differences may lead to different methods
for identifying a situation and solving a problem.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Operator’s safety culture and company CRM training should cover the operator’s safety
culture culture, its company culture, the type of operations
66. and the associated procedures of the operator. This
should include areas of operations that may lead to
particular difficulties or involve unusual hazards.
67. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM – Syllabus – Case studies (i) CRM training should cover aircraft type-specific
case studies, based on the information available
within the operator’s management system, including:
(A) accident and serious incident reviews to analyse
and identify any associated non-technical causal and
contributory factors, and instances or examples of
lack of CRM; and

ORO.FC.215 CRM trainer - Assessment (1) A flight crew CRM trainer should be assessed by
the operator when conducting the first CRM training
AMC3 ORO.FC.115 course. This first assessment should be valid for a
GM7 ORO.FC.115 period of 3 years.
(2) The operator should ensure that the process for
75. the assessment is included in the operations manual
describing methods for observing, recording,
interpreting and debriefing the flight crew CRM
trainer. All personnel involved in the assessment
must be credible and competent in their role.
See GM7 ORO.FC.115
ORO.FC.215 CRM trainer – Recency and renewal (1) For recency of the 3-year validity period, the flight
crew CRM trainer should:
AMC3 ORO.FC.115

CRM assessment
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Assessment of CRM skills (1) Assessment of CRM skills is the process of
observing, recording, interpreting and debriefing
crews and crew member’s performance using an
accepted methodology in the context of the overall
performance.
(2) The flight crew member’s CRM skills should be
78. assessed in the operational environment, but not
during CRM training in the non-operational
environment. Nevertheless, during training in the
non-operational environment, feedback from the
flight crew CRM trainer or from trainees on individual
and crew performance may be given to the crew
members concerned.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Assessment of CRM skills The assessment of CRM skills should:
(i) include debriefing the crew and the individual crew
member;
(ii) serve to identify additional training, where
79. needed, for the crew or the individual crew member;
and
(iii) be used to improve the CRM training system by
evaluating de-identified summaries of all CRM
assessments.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Assessment of CRM skills Prior to the introduction of CRM skills assessment, a
detailed description of the CRM methodology,
80. including the required CRM standards and the
terminology used for the assessment, should be
published in the operations manual.
81. AMC1 ORO.FC.115 CRM Assessment – Methodology The assessment should be based on the following
principles:
(i) only observable behaviours are assessed;
GM6 ORO.FC.115 CRM Assessment – Methodology – NOTECHS (a) NOTECHS (non-technical skills) is a validated
method for assessing flight crew CRM skills. The
NOTECHS framework consists of four main
categories:
(1) Cooperation: Cooperation is the ability to work
effectively in a crew.
(2) Leadership and managerial skills: Effective
leadership and managerial skills help to achieve joint
task completion within a motivated, fully functioning
team through coordination and persuasiveness.
(3) Situation awareness: Situation awareness relates
82. to one’s ability to accurately perceive what is in the
flight crew compartment and outside the aircraft. It is
also one’s ability to comprehend the meaning of
different elements in the environment and the
projection of their status in the near future.
(4) Decision-making: Decision-making is the process
of reaching a judgement or choosing an option.
(b) Each of the four categories is subdivided into
elements and behavioural markers. The elements are
specified in Table 1 of GM6 ORO.FC.115 with
examples of behavioural markers (effective
behaviour). The behavioural markers are assessed by
a rating scale to be established by the operator.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Assessment of CRM skills Operators should establish procedures, including
additional training, to be applied in the event that
83.
flight crew members do not achieve or maintain the
required CRM standards.
ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – General The flight crew member shall complete:
(1) the operator proficiency check and the emergency
and safety equipment training and checking before
commencing line flying under supervision (LIFUS); and
85.
(2) the line check upon completion of line flying under
supervision. For performance class B aeroplanes,
LIFUS may be performed on any aeroplane within the
applicable class.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – General The operator conversion training should include, in
the following order:
(i) ground training and checking, including aircraft
systems, and normal, abnormal and emergency
procedures;
86. (ii) emergency and safety equipment training and
checking, (completed before any flight training in an
aircraft commences);
(iii) flight training and checking (aircraft and/or FSTD);
and
(iv) line flying under supervision and line check.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – General When the flight crew member has not previously
completed an operator’s conversion course, he/she
87. should undergo general first-aid training and, if
applicable, ditching procedures training using the
equipment in water.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – General Where the emergency drills require action by the
88. non-handling pilot, the check should additionally
cover knowledge of these drills.
89. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – General The operator’s conversion may be combined with a
new type/class rating training as required by
ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – ZFTT For aeroplanes, pilots that have been issued a type
rating based on a zero flight-time training (ZFTT)
course shall:
(1) commence line flying under supervision not later
than 21 days after the completion of the skill test or
after appropriate training provided by the operator.
The content of such training shall be described in the
OM;
(2) complete six take-offs and landings in a FSTD not
later than 21 days after the completion of the skill
test under the supervision of a type rating instructor
for aeroplanes (TRI(A)) occupying the other pilot seat.
90. The number of take-offs and landings may be reduced
when credits are defined in the data established in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 748/2012. If
these take-offs and landings have not been
performed within 21 days, the operator shall provide
refresher training. The content of such training shall
be described in the OM;
(3) conduct the first four take-offs and landings of the
LIFUS in the aeroplane under the supervision of a
TRI(A) occupying the other pilot seat. The number of
take-offs and landings may be reduced when credits
are defined in the data established in accordance
with Regulation (EC) No 748/2012.
ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flying duties Once an operator conversion course has been
commenced, the FCM shall not be assigned to flying
duties on another type or class of aircraft until the
course is completed or terminated. Crew members
operating only performance class B aeroplanes may
be assigned to flights on other types of performance
91. class B aeroplanes during conversion courses to the
extent necessary to maintain the operation. Crew
members may be assigned to flights on single-
engined helicopters during an operator conversion
course on a single-engined helicopter, provided that
the training is unaffected. (applicable from 30
October 2022)
92. ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Amount of training The amount of training required by the FCM for the
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Ground training (1) Ground training should comprise a properly
organised programme of ground instruction
supervised by training staff with adequate facilities,
including any necessary audio, mechanical and visual
aids. Self-study using appropriate electronic learning
aids, computer-based training (CBT), etc., may be
used with adequate supervision of the standards
93. achieved. However, if the aircraft concerned is
relatively simple, unsupervised private study may be
adequate if the operator provides suitable manuals
and/or study notes.
(2) The course of ground instruction should
incorporate formal tests on such matters as aircraft
systems, performance and flight planning, where
applicable.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Emergency & safety Emergency and safety equipment training should take
equipment training and checking place in conjunction with cabin/technical crew
94. undergoing similar training with emphasis on
coordinated procedures and two-way communication
between the flight crew compartment and the cabin.
95. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Emergency & safety On the initial conversion course and on subsequent
equipment training and checking conversion courses as applicable, the following
should be addressed:
(i) Instruction on first-aid in general
(initial conversion course only);
instruction on first-aid as relevant to
the aircraft type of operation and
crew complement, including those
situations where no cabin crew is
required to be carried (initial and
subsequent).
(ii) Aero-medical topics (hypoxia,
hyperventilation, contamination of
skin/eyes by aviation fuel or
hydraulic or other fluids, hygiene and
food poisoning and malaria)
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training Flight training should be conducted to familiarise the
flight crew member thoroughly with all aspects of
limitations and normal, abnormal and emergency
procedures associated with the aircraft and should be
carried out by suitably qualified class and type rating
96. instructors and/or examiners. For specific operations,
such as steep approaches, ETOPS, or operations
based on QFE, additional training should be carried
out, based on any additional elements of training
defined for the aircraft type in the data in accordance
with Regulation (EC) No 748/2012, where they exist.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training In planning flight training on aircraft with a flight crew
of two or more, particular emphasis should be placed
97. on the practice of LOFT with emphasis on CRM, and
the use of crew coordination procedures, including
coping with incapacitation.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training Normally, the same training and practice in the flying
of the aircraft should be given to co-pilots as well as
commanders. The ‘flight handling’ sections of the
98.
syllabus for commanders and co-pilots alike should
include all the requirements of the operator
proficiency check required by ORO.FC.230.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Flight training Unless the type rating training programme has been
carried out in an FSTD usable for ZFTT, the training
99.
should include at least three take-offs and landings in
the aircraft.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS Following completion of flight training and checking
as part of the operator’s conversion course, each
flight crew member should operate a minimum
100.
number of sectors and/or flight hours under the
supervision of a flight crew member nominated by
the operator.
101. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS The minimum flight sectors/hours should be specified
in the operations manual and should be determined
ENAC OMD CCL – Edition 1 Revision 0 May 2022
Compliance Checklist for AOC Operations Manual – Part D
by the following:
(i) previous experience of the flight crew member;
(ii) complexity of the aircraft; and
(iii) the type and area of operation.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS For performance class B aeroplanes, the amount of
102. LIFUS required is dependent on the complexity of the
operations to be performed.
GM1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – LIFUS - Aeroplanes The following minimum figures for details to be flown
under supervision are guidelines for operators to use
when establishing their individual requirements:
(1) turbo-jet aircraft
(i) co-pilot undertaking first operator conversion
course:
103. (A) total accumulated 100 hours or minimum 40 flight
sectors;
(ii) co-pilot upgrading to commander:
(A) minimum 20 flight sectors when converting to a
new type;
(B) minimum 10 flight sectors when already qualified
on the aeroplane type.
AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Passenger handling for Other than general training on dealing with people,
operations where no cabin crew is required emphasis should be placed on the following:
(1) advice on the recognition and management of
passengers who appear or are intoxicated with
alcohol, under the influence of drugs or aggressive;
104. (2) methods used to motivate passengers and the
crowd control necessary to expedite an aircraft
evacuation; and
(3) the importance of correct seat allocation with
reference to aircraft mass and balance. Particular
emphasis should also be given on the seating of
special categories of passengers.
105. AMC1 ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – Discipline and Emphasis should be placed on discipline and an
responsibilities, for operations where no cabin crew is

required
ORO.FC.220 Operator conversion training – CRM training CRM training shall be integrated into the operator
107.
conversion training course.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115 Operator conversion training – CRM training When the flight crew member undertakes a
conversion course with a change of aircraft type or
change of operator, elements of CRM training should
108.
be integrated into all appropriate phases of the
operator’s conversion course, as specified in Table 1
of (g) AMC1 ORO.FC.115.
AMC1 ORO.FC.115&215 Operator conversion training – Use of automation (1) The operator conversion course should include
training in the use and knowledge of automation and
in the recognition of systems and human limitations
associated with the use of automation. The operator
should therefore ensure that the FCM receives
training on:
(i) the application of the operations policy concerning
the use of automation as stated in the operations
manual; and
109. (ii) system and human limitations associated with the
use of automation.
(2) The objective of this training should be to provide
appropriate knowledge, skills and behavioural
patterns for managing and operating automated
systems. Special attention should be given to how
automation increases the need for crews to have a
common understanding of the way in which the
system performs, and any features of automation
that make this understanding difficult.
110. AMC1 ORO.FC.220&230 Operator conversion training – Upset prevention & Upset prevention training should:
recovery training – Complex motor-powered aeroplanes (1) consist of ground training and flight training in an
with a MOPSC of more than 19 FSTD or an aeroplane;
(2) include upset prevention elements from Table 1 of
AMC1 ORO.FC.220&230 for the conversion training
course.
The operator should ensure that personnel providing
FSTD UPRT are competent and current to deliver the
training, and understand the capabilities and
limitations of the device used.
AMC2 ORO.FC.220&230 Operator conversion training – Upset prevention & Upset prevention training should:
recovery training – Complex motor-powered aeroplanes

ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking Each FCM shall undergo ground training and flight
training in an FSTD or an aircraft, or a combination of
119.
FSTD and aircraft training, at least every 12 calendar
months.
AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking For operations with other-than-complex motor-
powered aeroplanes, all training and checking should
be relevant to the type of operation and class of
120.
aeroplane on which the flight crew member operates
with due account taken of any specialised equipment
used.
ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking - Validity The validity periods of OPC, LC and E&SE checking
shall be counted from the end of the month when the
check was taken. (applicable until 29 October 2022)
121. When the training or checks are undertaken within
the last 3 months of the validity period, the new

expiry date. (applicable until 29 October 2022)
122. AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking – Helicopters In the case of single-pilot operations with helicopters,
AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking – Use of FSTD Training and checking provide an opportunity to
practice abnormal/emergency procedures that rarely
123. arise in normal operations and should be part of a
structured programme of recurrent training. This
should be carried out in an FSTD whenever possible.
AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking – Use of FSTD The line check should be performed in the aircraft. All
other training and checking should be performed in
an FSTD, or, if it is not reasonably practicable to gain
access to such devices, in an aircraft of the same type
124. or in the case of emergency and safety equipment
training, in a representative training device. The type
of equipment used for training and checking should
be representative of the instrumentation, equipment
and layout of the aircraft type operated by the FCM.
AMC1 ORO.FC.230 Recurrent training and checking – Use of FSTD Because of the unacceptable risk when simulating
emergencies such as engine failure, icing problems,
certain types of engine(s) (e.g. during continued take-
off or go-around, total hydraulic failure), or because
of environmental considerations associated with
some emergencies (e.g. fuel dumping) these
125.
emergencies should preferably be covered in an
FSTD. If no FSTD is available, these emergencies may
be covered in the aircraft using a safe airborne
simulation, bearing in mind the effect of any
subsequent failure, and the exercise must be
preceded by a comprehensive briefing.

an array of realistic changing events that allow for
resilience development purposes.
(b) The EBT programme should be designed observing
the following principles for resilience development:
(1) Resilience, surprise, and unexpected events
The EBT programme should be designed in such a
way that in every cycle the simulator session (or part
of it) allows variations so that the pilots are not
183. familiar with the scenarios presented in the simulator
session. Variations should be the focus of EBT
programme design and should not be left to the
discretion of individual instructors, in order to
preserve programme integrity and fairness.
(2) Resilience and decision-making (dilemma)
The EBT programme should be designed in such a
way that in every cycle the crews are exposed to a
scenario where more than one possible and less than
ideal solutions exist, with some unfavourable
conditions attached to each solution.
AMC2.ORO.FC.231 (a) (2) Evidence-based training – Validity of EBT Module (a) The validity period should be counted from the
