APPROVED TRAINING
ORGANIZATIONS:
IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS
(i) Quality. The totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear
on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
(ii) Quality Assurance. All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide
adequate confidence that all training activities satisfy given requirements, including
the ones specified by the ATO in relevant manuals.
(iii) Quality Manual. The document containing the relevant information pertaining to the
ATO’s quality system and quality assurance program.
(iv) Quality audit. A systematic and independent examination to determine whether
quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and
whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to
achieve objectives.
(2) Quality Policy and Strategy
(i) It is of vital importance that the ATO describes how the organization formulates, deploys,
reviews its policy and strategy and turns it into plans and actions. A formal written Quality
Policy Statement should be established that is a commitment by the Head of Training, as to
what the Quality System is intended to achieve. The Quality Policy should reflect the
achievement and continued compliance with relevant parts of Part 2 and 3 together with any
additional standards specified by the ATO.
(ii) The Accountable Manager will have overall responsibility for the Quality System including the
frequency, format and structure of the internal management evaluation activities.
(3) Purpose of a Quality System: The implementation and employment of a Quality System will
enable the ATO to monitor compliance with relevant parts of Part 2 and 3, the Procedures Manual
and the Training Manual, and any other standards as established by the ATO, or the Authority, to
ensure safe and efficient training.
(4) Quality Manager
(i) The primary role of the Quality Manager is to verify, by monitoring activities in the field of
training, that the standards required by the Authority, and any additional requirements as
established by the ATO are being carried out properly under the supervision of the Head of
Training, Chief Flight Instructor and Chief Ground Instructor.
(ii) The Quality Manager should be responsible for ensuring that the Quality Assurance Program
is properly implemented, maintained and continuously reviewed and improved. The Quality
Manager should: - have direct access to the Head of Training; - have access to all parts of
the ATO’s organization.
(iii) In the case of small or very small ATO’s, the posts of the Head of Training and the Quality
Manager may be combined. However, in this event, quality audits should be conducted by
independent personnel.
(5) Quality System
(i) The Quality System of the ATO should ensure compliance with and adequacy of training
activities conducted.
(ii) The ATO should specify the basic structure of the Quality System applicable to all training
activities conducted.
(iii) The Quality System should be structured according to the size of the ATO and the complexity
of the training to be monitored.
(9) Quality Assurance Program: The Quality Assurance Program should include all planned and
systematic actions necessary to provide confidence that all training are conducted in accordance
with all applicable requirements, standards and procedures.
(10) Quality Inspection
(i) The primary purpose of a quality inspection is to observe a particular event/action/document
etc., in order to verify whether established training procedures and requirements are followed
during the accomplishment of that event and whether the required standard is achieved.
(ii) Typical subject areas for quality inspections are:
(A) Actual flight and ground training
(B) Maintenance
(C) Technical Standards
(D) Training Standards
(11)Audit
(i) An audit is a systematic, and independent comparison of the way in which a training is being
conducted against the way in which the published training procedures say it should be
conducted.
(ii) Audits should include at least the following quality procedures and processes:
(A) An explanation of the scope of the audit
(B) Planning and preparation
(C) Gathering and recording evidence
(D) Analysis of the evidence
(iii) The various techniques that make up an effective audit are:
(A) Interviews or discussions with personnel
(B) A review of published documents
(C) The examination of an adequate sample of records
(D) The witnessing of the activitie4s which make up the training
(E) The preservation of documents and the recording of observations
(12) Auditors
(i) The ATO should decide, depending on the complexity of the training, whether to make use of
a dedicated audit team or a single auditor. In any event, the auditor or audit team should
have relevant training and/or operational experience.
(ii) The responsibilities of the auditors should be clearly defined in the relevant documentation.
(13)Auditor’s Independence
(i) Auditors should not have any day-to-day involvement in the area of the operation or
maintenance activity which is to be audited. An ATO may, in addition to using the
services of full-time dedicated personnel belonging to a separate quality department,
undertake the monitoring of specific areas or activities by the use of part-time auditors.
(ii) An ATO whose structure and size does not justify the establishment of full-time auditors,
may undertake the audit function by the use of part-time personnel from within its own
organization or from an external source under the terms of an agreement acceptable to
the Authority.
(iii) In all cases the ATO should develop suitable procedures to ensure that persons directly
responsible for the activities to be audited are not selected as part of the auditing team.
Where external auditors are used, it is essential that any external specialist is familiar
with the type of training conducted by the ATO.
(iv) The Quality Assurance Program of the ATO should identify the persons within the
company who have the experience, responsibility and Authority to:
(A) Perform quality inspections and audits as part of ongoing Quality Assurance
(B) Identify and record any concerns or findings, and the evidence necessary to
substantiate such concerns or findings
(C) Initiate or recommend solutions to concerns or findings through designated
reporting channels
(D) Verify the implementation of solutions within specific timescales
(E) Report directly to the Quality Manager
(14)Audit Scope: ATOs are required to monitor compliance with the Training and Procedures
Manuals they have designed to ensure safe and efficient training. In doing so they should as a
minimum, and where appropriate, monitor:
(i) Organization
(ii) Plans and objectives
(iii) Training Procedures
(iv) Flight Safety
(v) Manuals, Logs and Records
(vi) Flight and Duty Time limitations
(vii) Rest requirements and scheduling
(viii) Aircraft Maintenance/Operations interface
(ix) Maintenance programs and continued airworthiness
(x) Maintenance accomplishment
(15)Audit Scheduling
(i) A Quality Assurance Program should include a defined audit schedule and a periodic review
cycle. The schedule should be flexible, and allow unscheduled audits when trends are
identified. Follow-up audits should be scheduled when necessary to verify that corrective
action was carried out and that it was effective.
(ii) An ATO should establish a schedule of audits to be completed during a specific calendar
period. All aspects of the training should be reviewed within a period of 12 months in
accordance with the program unless an extension to the audit period is accepted as
explained below.
(iii) An ATO may increase the frequency of their audits at their discretion but should not decrease
the frequency without the acceptance of the Authority. It is considered unlikely that a period
of greater than 24 months would be acceptable for any audit topic.
(iv) When an ATO defines the audit schedule, significant changes to the management,
organization, training, or technologies should be considered, as well as changes to the
regulatory requirements.
(16)Monitoring and corrective action
(i) The aim of monitoring within the Quality System is primarily to investigate and judge its
effectiveness and thereby to ensure that defined policy, training standards are continuously
complied with. Monitoring activity is based upon quality inspections, audits, corrective action
and follow-up. The ATO should establish and publish a quality procedure to monitor
regulatory compliance on a continuing basis. This monitoring activity should be aimed at
eliminating the causes of unsatisfactory performance.
(ii) Any non-compliance identified should be communicated to the manager responsible for
taking corrective action or, if appropriate, the Accountable Manager. Such non-compliance
should be recorded, for the purpose of further investigation, in order to determine the cause
and to enable the recommendation of appropriate corrective action.
(iii) The Quality Assurance Program should include procedures to ensure that corrective actions
are developed in response to findings. These quality procedures should monitor such actions
to verify their effectiveness and that they have been completed. Organizational responsibility
and accountability for the implementation of corrective action resides with the department
cited in the report identifying the finding. The Accountable Manager will have the ultimate
responsibility for ensuring, through the Quality Manager(s), that corrective action has re-
established compliance with the standard required by the Authority and any additional
requirements established by the ATO.
(17) Corrective action
(i) Subsequent to the quality inspection/audit, the ATO should establish:
(A) The seriousness of any findings and any need for immediate corrective action
(B) The origin of the finding
(C) What corrective actions are required to ensure that the non-compliance does not recur
(D) A schedule for corrective action
(E) The identification of individuals or departments responsible for implementing corrective
action
(F) Allocation of resources by the Accountable Manager, where appropriate
(ii) The Quality Manager should:
(A) Verify that corrective action is taken by the manager responsible in response to any
finding of non-compliance
(B) Verify that corrective action includes the elements outlined in paragraph (16) above
(C) Monitor the implementation and completion of corrective action
(D) Provide management with an independent assessment of corrective action,
implementation and completion
(E) Evaluate the effectiveness of corrective action through the follow-up process
(18) Management Evaluation
(i) A management evaluation is a comprehensive, systematic documented review by the
management of the quality system, training policies, and procedures, and should consider:
The results of quality inspections, audits and any other indicators; as well as the overall
effectiveness of the management organization in achieving stated objectives. A management
evaluation should identify and correct trends, and prevent, where possible, future non-
conformities. Conclusions and recommendations made as a result of an evaluation should be
submitted in writing to the responsible manager for action. The responsible manager should
be an individual who has the Authority to resolve issues and take action. The Accountable
Manager should decide upon the frequency, format, and structure of internal management
evaluation activities.
(19) Recording
(i) Accurate, complete and readily accessible records documenting the result of the Quality
Assurance Program should be maintained by the ATO. Records are essential data to enable
an ATO to analyze and determine the root causes of non-conformity, so that areas of non-
compliance can be identified and subsequently addressed.
(ii) The following records should be retained for a period of 5 years:
(A) Audit schedules
(B) Quality inspection and audit reports
(C) Responses to findings
(D) Corrective action reports
(E) Follow-up and closure reports
(F) Management evaluation reports
(20) Quality Assurance Responsibility for Satellite ATOs
(i) An ATO may decide to sub-contract out in accordance with Subpart 3.1.2.10, certain
activities to external organizations subject to the approval of the Authority.
(ii) The ultimate responsibility for the training provided by the satellite ATO always remains with
the ATO. A written agreement should exist between the ATO and the satellite ATO clearly
defining the safety related services and quality to be provided. The satellite ATO’s safety
related activities relevant to the agreement should be included in the ATO’s Quality
Assurance Program.
(iii) The ATO should ensure that the satellite ATO has the necessary authorization/approval
when required, and commands the resources and competence to undertake the task. If the
ATO requires the satellite ATO to conduct activity which exceeds the satellite ATO’s
authorization/approval, the ATO is responsible for ensuring that the satellite ATO’s quality
assurance takes account of such additional requirements.
(21) Quality System Training
(i) Correct and thorough training is essential to optimize quality in every organization. In order to
achieve significant outcomes of such training the ATO should ensure that all staff understand
the objectives as laid down in the Quality Manual.
(ii) Those responsible for managing the Quality System should receive training covering:
