CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

I. Objectives of the document

The Vietnamese civil aviation legislation system provides the framework of one of the most important mode of transportation for Vietnam both domestically and internationally. A primary objectives of the Civil Aviation Law 2006 (amended in 2014) includes enhancing safety, security, efficiency and service quality in the civil aviation system in a sustainable manner, facilitating access to the air transport network and contributing to the safe, smooth flow of passengers, aircraft and cargo within the civil aviation system so that it can contribute to the economic and social development of Vietnam. An effective safety oversight system is crucial in achieving these objectives.

ICAO Doc 9760 states that the States must be staffed with qualified and experienced personnel capable of successfully undertaking the wide variety of required tasks. ICAO Doc 8335 also states that the satisfactory execution of the various functions of the CAAV depends to a large extent on the qualifications, experience, competence and dedication of individual inspectors. In addition, it is also important for CAAV to have inspectors with a mix of disciplines to adequately oversee their aviation industry

ICAO safety oversight audits and other ICAO missions have shown that many Contracting States have not established effective safety oversight systems and that qualification of technical personnel are often deficient, thereby creating an opportunity for lack of safety oversights over approval holders. The establishment and management of an effective safety oversight system require a high-level of commitment, without which a State cannot fully satisfy its aviation system safety-related responsibilities.

This was further underscored by ICAO’s recent comprehensive system approach audit result showing the area of Critical Element 4 (CE-4) “qualified personnel” having the highest lack of effective implementation. Thus, the objective of this document is to provide the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam with the guidance to improve its CE-4 effective implementation scoring by increasing the number of qualified inspectors and ensuring all technical staff are properly trained so that the Vietnamese safety oversight activities will be effectively discharged.

In order to provide comprehensive and meaningful guidance on the development and management of the AMD’s capacity building, a training programme which includes typical training road maps for various functional areas is presented in Chapter 4. The implementation of this programme will ensure that AMD is capable of meeting its safety oversight responsibilities.

Furthermore, this document provides an overview of a typical training framework which is used to identify appropriate types of training and respective training providers that will help equip technical personnel with the knowledge and the skill to discharge his/her safety oversight activities. Figure 1 shows a typical capacity building flowchart that AMD uses to build internal capacity.

 

Figure 1. Typical Capacity Building Flowchart

II. Reference documents

The documents listed below are referred to in this manual and have been used as guidance for the development of this training programme manual.

Related Documents:

• ICAO Doc.8335, Manual of Procedures for Operations Inspection, Certification and Continued Surveillance

• ICAO Doc.9379, Manual of Procedures for Establishment and Management of a State’s Personnel Licensing System

• ICAO Doc.9734A, Safety Oversight Manual

• ICAO Doc.9734B, Regional Safety Oversight Manual

III. Safety oversight obligation

When permitting or undertaking aviation activities, the Contracting State incurs certain obligations under Chicago Convention and its Annexes.

To ensure that the State’s system is appropriate to the level and scope of their aviation activity, ICAO Document 9734, Part A, mentions that each of these obligations will require consideration of the critical elements of a safety oversight system. This should include.

State policy to systematically manage the safety-critical pressures, dependencies and conflicts affecting the community from internal as well as external sources. Part of that management process call for States to consider the adoption of national requirements that exceed ICAO SARPs in some areas for some circumstances.

While public interest needs to be considered, States need to ensure that a proper system of checks and balances is maintained. The State should retain effective control of important inspection functions. Such functions cannot be delegated, otherwise, the aviation industry will end up regulating themselves and the State’s oversight system is not effective.

IV. Critical elements of a safety oversight system

All ICAO Contracting States, in their effort to establish and implement an effective safety oversight system, need to consider the critical elements (CE) for safety oversight.

ICAO Document 9734, Part A, mentions that CEs are essentially the safety defence tools of a safety oversight system and are required for the effective implementation safety oversight critical elements of a safety oversight system encompass the whole spectrum of civil aviation activities, including airworthiness of aircraft, accident/incident investigation, and transport of dangerous goods by air. The effective implementation of the CE is an indication of a state’s capability for safety oversight.

ICAO has identified and defined the following critical elements of a State’s

Safety oversight system:

CE-1. Primary aviation legislation. The provision of a comprehensive and effective aviation law consistent with the environment and complexity of the State’s aviation activity and compliant with the requirements contained in the Convention on International Civil Aviation

CE-2. Specific operating regulations. The provision of adequate regulations to address, at a minimum, national requirements emanating from the primary aviation legislation and providing for standardization operational procedures, equipment and infrastructures (including safety management and training systems), in conformance with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) contained in the Annexes to the Convention of International Civil Aviation.

CE-3. State civil aviation system and safety oversight functions. The establishment of a Civil Aviation Authority (CAAV) and/or other relevant authorities or government agencies, headed by a Director General, supported by the appropriate and adequate technical and non-technical staff and provided with adequate financial resources. The State authority must have stated regulatory functions, objectives and safety policies.

CE-4. Technical personnel qualification and training. The establishment of minimum knowledge and experience requirements for the technical personnel performing safety oversight functions and the provision of appropriate training to maintain and enhance their competence at the desired level. The training should include initial and recurrent (periodic) training.

CE-5. Technical guidance, tools and the provision of safety-critical information. The provision of technical guidance (including processes and procedures), tools (including facilities and equipment) and safety oversight functions in accordance with established requirements and in a standardized manner. In addition, this includes the provision of technical guidance by the oversight authority to the aviation industry on the implementation of applicable regulations and instructions.

CE-6. Licensing, certification, authorization and approval obligations. The implementation of processes and procedures to ensure that personnel and organisations performing an aviation activity meet the established requirements before they are allowed to exercise the privileges of a license, certificate, authorization and/or approval to conduct the relevant aviation activity.

CE-7. Surveillance obligations. The implementation of processes, such as inspections and audits, to proactively ensure that aviation license, certificate, authorization and/or approval holders continue to meet the established requirements and function at the level of competency and safety required by the State to undertake an aviation- related activity for which they have been licensed, certified, authorized and/or approved to perform. This includes the surveillance of designated personnel who perform safety oversight functions on behalf of CAAV.

CE-8. Resolution of safety concerns. The implementation of processes and procedures to resolve identified deficiencies impacting aviation safety, which may have been residing in the aviation system and have been detected by the regulatory authority or other appropriate bodies.

 

CHAPTER 2. TRAINING PROGRAMME

The key elements of AMD’s training programme are as follows:

• Training policy statement;

• Training Objectives; and

• Competency-based training.

Once the above foundations are established, the respective training road maps and individual training plan are then established using guidance shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2. Training Programme Overview

Depending on the available capability, the actual trainings may be carried out under the direct control of CAAV or conducted by other training service providers.

Training road maps are reviewed periodically to establish a customised training road maps where it serves its purposes and needs.

In reviewing the effectiveness of trainings conducted in-house or by a service provider, AMD Director are required make a determination as to whether the training methods, syllabus, training standards, related facilities and record keeping are adequate for its technical personnel.

I. Training policies

In addition to the Director’s Training Policy Statement, this chapter provides an expansion of the policy and includes procedures that are used by AMD to employ, initially qualify, maintain and upgrade the technical personnel used in its safety oversight programmes.

1. Qualification policies

2. Training policy

A. AMD in fulfilling its obligation is committed to provide for the development of a highly skilled and qualified work force for its aviation oversight programmes.

B. Employees will be fully trained in the essential job tasks, knowledge, and skills that are required to accomplish the:

(1) AMD safety oversight;

(2) Meet ICAO obligations;

(3) Ensure the conformance of the aviation community; and safeguard the travelling public.

C. The qualification programme outlined in this manual will prepare technical personnel to apply the standards appropriate to the position assignments during their employment with CAAV.

D. This manual outlines the qualification events and training for ADI and provides for both baseline and specialisation of qualifications.

II. Roles & responsibilities

1. Director General

With respect to qualification of the support personnel, the Director General has the overall responsibility for the provision of qualified technical personnel to implement CAAV aviation oversight programme. His responsibilities include:

• Provision of adequate qualified staff to ensure the fulfilment of Vietnam requirements and international obligations.

• Ensure that the budget submitted by AMD will fully support the requirements for the qualification of the technical personnel.

• Ensure that adequate resources are provided to the AMD to fully implement the qualification programme for its technical personnel.

• Approve and fund training activities necessary to this qualification programme.

Negotiate and oversee national agreements and contracts with government and commercial training vendors.

2. Human resource director

With respect to qualification of support personnel, the Human Resource Director is responsible for on-going quality assurance of CAAV’s functions, including the provision and quality of training.

This will include:

• Ensuring that the support personnel qualification programme is effectively and efficiently managed and complies with all policy requirements.

• Provisions for evaluation of any locally arranged and conducted training.

• Review the training programme to ensure it is meeting national objectives, ICAO requirements, and international obligations.

• Provisions for periodic review of training courses to ensure that the content remains current with respect to job tasks, knowledge, skills and inspector performance requirements.

• Hire highly qualified individuals to serve as technical personnel in the aviation oversight programmes.

• Ensure the development of a highly skilled and qualified workforce.

• Ensure that an on-going OJT programme is being administered in each Department.

• Hold supervisors and managers accountable for ensuring that employee work assignments and schedules allow for sufficient time for employees to fully participate in and complete training requirements.

3. AMD director

With respect to qualification of technical personnel, managers play a key role in assessing gaps between oversight obligations/responsibilities and actual workforce skills, identifying developmental needs, prioritizing training needs, certifying the accomplishment of learning objectives and fostering on-the-job development. This will include:

• Ensure that employee work assignments and schedules allow sufficient time for employees to fully participate in and complete training requirements.

• Notify the DG regarding changes in training requirements, specify new training needs not previously identified, and relinquish training resources that no longer apply.

• Foster a work environment conducive to the success of the training programme. Communicate regularly with employees regarding the status of training. Arrange for formal training courses that are required for each inspector. Schedule On- the- Job-training events.

4. Technical personnel

With respect to qualification of technical personnel, the individual employee must take a pro- active role in ensuring that they are qualified for the job tasks that they are to perform. This will include:

• Collaborate with management to identify personal training needs.

• Communicate with the immediate supervisor and peers to plan training activities.

• Actively participate in training activities.

• Review personal training records and documentation to ensure that it is up to date.

• Provide feedback and evaluation regarding the effectiveness of the training programme.

 

CHAPTER 3. CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME

I. Training need analysis

Prior to providing trainings and education to each of ADI, consideration is given to the person’s job description which lays out his/her major duties, responsibilities, organisational relationships, scope of work and amount of supervision when performing job tasks. Once the respective job descriptions and Minimum Qualification Requirements (MQR) are considered against the technical personnel’s qualification, AMD will then carry out a Training Need Analysis (TNA) to establish the training requirements and define the Training Plan for each of these roles and responsibilities.

In addition, it must be also considered that some of these technical personnel have joined the organisation at various qualification entry points (i.e. licence holder against a non-license holder, graduate against a non-graduate, etc.) and with different levels of experience (i.e. new to the aviation industry against those with many years of aviation experience).

II. Methodology

Considering the varied entry points of technical personnel, it is important that technical personnel are progressively and effectively transited with basic foundation completed before moving on to next level of training. As such, AMD has adopted a training structure for its typical training road map which consists of three phases of training beginning with “Induction (Initial) Training”, follows by “Core (Regulatory) Training” and ends with “On- the-Job Training (OJT)”. Due to the uniqueness of each functional area, the training requirements under each of these three phases have to be well guided by the individual technical personnel’s job description.

Once the relevant training requirements are put together in this manner, this forms the final training road map for ADI. Training requirements for ADI together with typical training road maps is established and is attached as Appendix 4 of this Manual.

With the training road maps, the AMD will then accomplish the TNA mechanism and develop its training plan aiming to fulfil all the training requirements spelled out in the training roadmap.

The individual training plans and the associated budgetary allocations requires the approval of the DG.

As the training road map typically last over a period of 2 years, the three phases in the training road map serve as training milestones which the respective technical personnel or AMD Director could easily monitor the progress of the individual technical personnel.

AMD Director are required to manage both the training road maps and training plans efficiently and to also ensure these are effectively implemented. This is important as these training road maps and training plans would fundamentally determine the quality and capabilities of these technical personnel working for AMD.

Due to constant changes in the aviation environment and complexity, AMD will carry out an annual review of the road map and the training plan to keep it updated and relevant.

III. Training roadmaps

CAAV uses a typical Training Road Map (TRM) consisting of 3 categories of training as detailed below:

1. Induction (Initial) Training

To equip new technical personnel with the basic skills and knowledge relevant to their job responsibilities and should begin at the start of employment and preferably be completed within the first six months.

2. Core (Regulatory) Training

Provides new technical personnel with knowledge and skills in specific technical areas to carry out their duties effectively. The duration for this category varies between one to 1.5 years depending on the availability of the required regulatory trainings.

3. On-the-Job Training

Hands-on training under the supervision of a senior technical personnel should be well planned and structured. Although this category usually concluded within the first two years of employment, however, if the new technical personnel is assessed to be incompetent in his/her new duties, he/she will have to undergo additional trainings till he/she reaches an acceptable level of competency.

4. Recurrent / Refresher / Continuation and Specialised Training

Although the TRMs do not include recurrent (or refresher) and specialised (or advance) training, after the technical personnel have been qualified, they will continue to receive training throughout their employment. AMD requires technical personnel to develop their competencies continuingly on areas that are related to their respective responsibilities. For technical personnel who are subsequently required to implement additional tasks or more in-depth tasks, specialty trainings or advance trainings are required to be completed before carrying out further assignments.

5. Recurrent / Refresher / Continuation training

Technical personnel represent the authority and, as such, require the continuous development of their competencies related to their respective responsibilities. This will be accomplished through periodic training.

Recurrent/refresher/continuation training is required for all inspectors in every two years after obtaining the basic/initial inspector course.

6. Specialised Training

This phase would consist of advanced or specialized courses to ensure that ADI remain current with changes in technology and investigative methods.

Specialised training courses are conducted with two priority levels:

+ Level 1 (First priority) courses which conducted within 01 years after completion of OJT.

+ Level 2 (Second priority) courses which conducted within 03 years after completion of 1st priority courses.

7. Qualification Certificates

A formal completion certificate will be issued to any inspector that:

 (1) Attends at least 85% of the hours allotted to each training course; and a copy of that certificate will be included in the CAAV’s qualification file for the employee; and

 (2) Completes the exercises, tests and evaluations included in the course in a satisfactory manner.

8. Failing to Meet Qualification Standards

 (1) Technical personnel failing to satisfactorily meet qualification standards will be considered for the necessary training. This will be coordinated between the AMD and Human Resources Department and requires the DG’s approval; and

 (2) The Technical personnel employment with AMD will be subjected to a review if the candidate fails to meet the qualification standard after the remedial training or the second attempt.

IV. Development of training plan

With the TRMs developed for each key job functions, the AMD will then use the relevant TRM to develop personnel training plan by detailing the course names, course dates, training organisations, etc., for the entire training year(s).

However, the new technical personnel’s training plan may be subjected to unforeseen changes i.e. course cancellation/postponement, therefore, it has to be regularly updated and tracked to ensure that the plan is successfully carried out in a timely manner. Depending on the availability of the required courses, AMD Director must prioritise the trainings according to the level of importance to each key job function.

In addition, the selection of courses should not be based on whatever courses are available but rather based on courses that meet the specific training needs of the technical personnel. For example, a similar topic offered by various training organisations could come with different / varied syllabus i.e. basic or advance, or course name/title, as such, technical personnel should find out more about the course before registration.

In most instances, the training plan for new technical personnel normally stretch over a period of 2 years. After the technical personnel has fully completed his/her required trainings, his/her subsequent training plan could be just a yearly plan covering new trainings due to new work scope or recurrent trainings, as required.

AMD is required to develop and maintain a training management system where the training of each technical personnel can be traced and training related records can be kept on completion of each training. This system will be made available to both internal and external auditors, as and when necessary, during audit.

 

CHAPTER 4. FORMAL TRAINING GUIDELINES

This chapter provides further guidance in the implementation of Training Road Maps and the Recurrent / Refresher / Continuation and Specialised Training.

I. General policies

A. It is the policy of the CAAV that all inspectors should be qualified by training or experience to conduct the inspections, evaluations and investigations assigned to this office.

B. The inspectors of the CAAV or its designees will be technically qualified on a parallel basis to the persons in the aviation industry that they are assigned to regulate.

C. No inspector will be obligated to conduct an inspection, evaluation or approval unless that person believes they are technically or otherwise qualified to undertake.

D. No person will be assigned to conduct a task unsupervised unless management believes that person to be qualified by experience, training or applying positive transfer of knowledge or experience.

E. All formal training applicable to the qualifications of an inspector, whether previous to or after employment shall be recorded in the Qualification database.

II. Types of training

In conjunction with the TRM, Inspectors will be given a variety of training that will include:

• Induction (Initial) Training including formal In-house;

• Core (Regulatory) training;

• Structured “on-the-job-training” (OJT);

III. Formal in-house initial training

This formal training is a requirement for all full-time CAAV Personnel.

A. CAAV will conduct in-house training courses through senior CAAV employees and contracted sources.

B. These courses will consist of a formal review of the Civil Aviation Law 2006, amended in 2014, Civil Aviation Rules and CAAV technical guidance materials.

C. A formal completion certificate will be issued to participants after satisfactory completion.

IV. Structured initial on-the-job training

All technical inspectors will be included in a formal OJT programme that is tracked and signed off by specific job task.

(1) The specifics of that OJT programme are included in the Chapter 5.

(2) Where possible, OJT for specific tasks will occur following the formal training that is relevant to the particular job task.

(3) The implementation of the OJT programme and the sign-off for an individual task is considered a “baseline” requirement before the unsupervised performance of that task by a senior inspector.

As an inspector has completed OJT on a specific task and is signed-off by the senior inspector, he/she is considered to be qualified to perform the task.

 

CHAPTER 5. ON-THE-JOB TRAINING & QUALIFICATION

This chapter describes the OJT programme methodology that will be applied by the CAAV for the continuing qualification of its inspectors.

I. General policies

A. The baseline OJT programmes contained in the respective AMD Training Manual appendices shall be the focus of future new-hire inspector qualification.

B. Revisions to the baseline programmes will be permitted with the approval of the AMD Director.

C. All OJT training will be carried out by senior inspectors with around five (5) years of experience in auditing in the technical area;

D. All OJT training will be recorded in the CAAV Training database by the inspectors and their instructors.

E. All OJT completion shall be recorded in the Qualification Record database.

F. Baseline OJT programmes shall be established for all other technical specialties.

II. OJT configuration

1. Task structure and assignment

A. The OJT process will introduce tasks that are categorized first by:

1) Job specialty (e.g., Movement Area Inspector, RFF Inspector);

2) Duty (e.g. Administration, Inspection, Safety Issue Resolution, Investigation, Surveillance, Evaluation, etc.);

3) Function (e.g., Inspect Aircraft on the Ramp, Inspect Flight Deck In- Flight, etc.).

B. If any of the tasks listed, in any category, are not performed in a trainee’s specific environment, they should not be included in the individual’s training plan.

2. Restrictions

A. Assigning a new employee an inspector’s credential does not require completing all tasks in OJT. The required tasks will depend on the employee’s work assignment.

B. Completing OJT is not tied to promotions. There may be some tasks that an employee never has to complete because his/her work assignments do not include those tasks.

3. Training structure

A. The Training Structure of CAAV OJT Programme follows a logical progression of adult learning by using 2 Levels.

1) Level I - Knowledge and Understanding

2) Level II - Performance

B. Any task assigned to a trainee will be trained to all levels unless otherwise deemed unnecessary. Both formal training and OJT are integral parts of a well- developed training programme and should be scheduled to complement each other.

III. Definitions

The following are definitions of terms related to the CAAV OJT Programme:

OJT: OJT is a planned, structured training event conducted at a work site by an On-the- Job-Training (OJT) authorized OJT instructor. This type of training provides direct experience in the work environment in which the employee is performing or will be performing on the job.

Task: A unit of work that contains logical and necessary steps in the performance of a Task in a job duty, typically with a defined beginning and ending. The task must produce a meaningful result.

Level I Training: Level I training usually involves observation of the performance of specific job tasks to achieve a level of understanding. This training typically involves the trainee observing and/or assisting the OJT instructor in the performance of those specific job tasks for which the trainee will be held accountable.

Level II Training: Level II training involves the application of knowledge and skills to the performance of specific job tasks. Typically, the trainee performs the job task under the observation of a qualified OJT instructor. The instructor assesses the performance of the task and indicates on the trainee’s OJT record when Level II performance is achieved.

Inspections: One of the most significant duties of CAAV is to conduct inspections in all areas of air transportation. The primary objective of inspection activities is to provide the CAAV with accurate, real-time, comprehensive information for the evaluation of the safety status of the air transportation system.

Investigations: The means in which CAAV determines causal factors of potential or actual problem areas and are the vehicle to effect appropriate corrective action. These work activities are generated on an “as required” or “as discovered” basis.

Certification: The certification work activities validate the competency of an aerodrome operator and their compliance with appropriate statutory and regulatory requirements prior to active performance in the aviation industry.

Administration: Those functions performed by trainees that do not fit in Inspections, Evaluations, Investigations, Certification or Resolution. For example: aviation education and promoting aviation safety to all segments of the aviation community.

OJT Record: An electronic tool that is used to record the trainee’s OJT plan, progress, and completion.

OJT Instructor: A trained employee and a senior inspector with around five (5) years of experience in auditing in the technical area and designated to provide OJT instruction to trainees on specific tasks at Levels I, II, and III, in accordance with established procedures.

V. OJT Method - Level I

Level I train usually includes a demonstration, by the instructor or designee, of the specific job task steps and procedures with the trainee observations and/or assistance to achieve a level of understanding.

Level I performance objectives

Following this training, the trainee will be able to:

• Describe the sequences of steps to accomplish the task;

• Describe how appropriate materials are used to accomplish the task;

• Describe interactions among other CAAV personnel required to accomplish the task;

• Describe coordination with operator required to accomplish the task.

Conducting Level I OJT

A. Begin by:

 (1) Gathering any materials need to perform the task;

 (2) Reviewing the performance objects for the task and the purpose for Level I training;

B. The accomplishment of Level I should include a demonstration of the task itself. Do the following as you conduct this training:

 (1) Explain what you will be doing by briefly reviewing the task steps;

 (2) Solicit any questions about the task before you begin;

 (3) Based upon the task and the comfort level of the trainee, determine whether or not it is appropriate for the trainee to assist in the task or simply observe you doing the task;

 (4) You may also simply ask the trainee their preference - assist or observe;

 (5) Be sure that the environment is conducive to learning. For example, if you are performing the task in the field, can the trainee (s) sufficiently see and hear you?

 (6) Ask the trainee for the next step(s) as you demonstrate the task; and

 (7) Ask questions about how the step is performed.

C. For tasks that are largely document-based, actual demonstration may not be applicable. Therefore, Level I may be based on the review and discussion of sample or completed documentation. For example, Level I for reviewing a manual could include the trainee reviewing a manual for which a qualified technical person has already completed a review. Then comparing the trainee’s review to the qualified person’s review.

Validating Level I Completion

To validate Level I OJT, trainee must have an acceptable response to the following measurements.

Objective	N/A	Unacceptable		Acceptable
Trainee can describe the sequence of steps to accomplish the task (as applicable)		Cannot describe the Sequence of Steps	Describes some step sequence	Describes most step sequence	Describes all step sequences accurately
Trainee can describe how appropriate materials are used to accomplish the task		Cannot describe use of materials	Describes some use of materials	Describes most use of materials	Describes all material use accurately
Trainee can describe interactions among other AUTHORITY personnel required to accomplish the task		Cannot describe the Interactions	Describes some interactions	Describes most interactions accurately	Describes all possible interactions accurately
Trainee can describe coordination with operator required to accomplish task		Cannot Describe Operator Coordination	Describes some operator coordination	Describes Most operator coordination	Describes all operator coordination accurately

VI. OJT Methods - Level II

Level II training includes the trainee performing the task independently and accurately under the observation of the OJT instructor.

Level II performance objectives

Following this training, the trainee will be able to:

• Demonstrate sufficient knowledge to complete the task proficiently;

• Complete all steps necessary to accurately complete the task;

• Complete steps in the proper order (as applicable);

• Perform the task without assistance;

• Perform the task in a timely manner without undue hesitation.

Conducting Level II OJT

A. Start in on by:

 (1) Reviewing what was covered in Level I training;

 (2) Reviewing the performance objectives for the task and the purpose for Level II training;

 (3) Ask the trainee(s) if he/she has all of the materials necessary to perform the task;

 (4) Explain expectations - that the trainee will complete the task accurately and without assistance.

B. Use the following observation guidelines as the trainee performs the task:

 (1) Check the steps as you observe using your checklist;

 (2) Assist only if it required as a part of the task to have a second person. Do not offer assistance;

 (3) Circle omitted or incorrect steps to address with the trainee once the task is complete;

 (4) STOP for unsafe or illegal actions; discuss them with the trainee immediately before completing the task.

C. Some task may infrequently, or even never, present an opportunity for an instructor to observe a trainee perform (for example, safety measure inspections or accident investigations).

Validating Level II completion

To validate Level II OJT, the instructor must be able to answer “Yes” to all of the following:

Objective	N/A	Yes	No
Did the trainee demonstrate sufficient knowledge to complete the task proficiently?
Did the trainee complete all steps necessary to accurately complete the task?
Were the steps completed in the proper order (if applicable)?
Did the trainee perform the task without assistance?
Did the trainee perform the task in a timely manner without undue hesitation?
Did the trainee properly record the completion of the task in the database?

APPENDIX 5: METHODOLOGY IN DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF AERODROME SAFETY INSPECTORS

AMD has developed and established the methodology in determining aerodrome safety inspector needs to carry out all safety oversight related task, including review and revision of regulations, training of technical staff, development of guidance material, issuance of approvals, conducting of surveillance and resolution of identified safety concerns. Basically, the number of inspectors required are derived from the following formula: [TOTAL MAN-DAYS REQUIRED FOR ALL RESPONSIBILITIES] divided by [TOTAL WORKING DAYS PER YEAR].

The details in determining aerodrome safety inspector needs are as follow:
