1. Applicability

(a) This Staff Instruction describes the means of compliance in respect of

aircraft maintenance training organization (AMTO) certificates issued
pursuant to CASR Part 147.

(b) Initial application for approval of an AMTO shall be made in writing,

accompanied by two copies of a training procedures manual (TPM)
that clearly shows how the training organization will comply with the
requirements of CASR Part 147.

2. Training Procedures Manual

(a) The TPM is the key element in the initial and continuing approval of a
training organization. It should be a stand-alone document, but it may
be contained in another manual, such as a Company Maintenance
Manual (CMM). The TPM shall be detailed, organized in numerical
order and structured in such a manner, as to form an easily accessible
reference document for day to day use and regulatory audit. For the
TPM to receive DGCA approval, it must clearly explain how the training
organization intends to comply with the regulations in Part 147. Once
approved, the TPM becomes the primary standard for evaluating the
AMTO. In theory, conformance to the TPM should ensure compliance
with Part 147.

(b) In addition to those items detailed elsewhere in this SI, the TPM shall
include the following:

(1) an amendment system required by CASR Part 147.13(a)

describing the amendment procedure to ensure that the TPM in
use reflects the latest approved amendment. It must include a
means of identifying each page. This may be in the form of a List of
Effective Pages, with each page numbered and dated or marked
with a revision number.

(2) an Organizational Chart required by Part 147.13(c) and (d)

showing the responsibilities and reporting level of each member of
the organization. Where an individual reports to more than one
manager, the chart shall clearly indicate which manager is
responsible for which function. The duties, position qualifications

4
 and responsibilities of each of the reporting levels listed on the
organizational chart shall be described.

(3) a course instructor listing as required by Part 147.17 indicating the

required number of instructors, licensed in aircraft maintenance or

instructor knowledge and expertise on a continuing basis as
required by Part 147.17(d). The cycle for update training shall not
exceed three years.

(5) a Person Responsible for Training Section indicating who shall be

responsible for ensuring the program integrity. The person
appointed shall have a minimum of six years experience in the
maintenance of aircraft, and knowledge of maintenance training,
development and delivery.

(6) a Course Prerequisites Section for student admission indicating

which prerequisites is necessary in order to meet course delivery
objectives.

(7) a Training Material Evaluation Procedure ensuring that training

material is sufficient and capable of supporting training objectives.

3. Facilities

The TPM must include a Facilities Section describing the facilities and
support systems for the type of delivery consistent with the scope of the
program. This shall include adequate temperature control, lighting and
ventilation to accommodate the maximum number of students expected to
be taught at any one time. A floor plan of the primary facility shall be
included showing the space allocation for the location of offices,
classrooms, shops and any other space allocations. Where applicable, the
training organization shall identify minimum facility standards for the
conduct of courses at locations other than the prime facility.

5
4. Quality control system requirements

(a) The TPM shall include a description of the organizations Quality

System required by Part 147.19. It must include a description of the
methods used to:
(1) control the development of training, including lesson plans;
(2) control the development of student assessment methods;
(3) assess the competency and currency of instructional staff;
(4)monitor the presentation of course material to meet training
objectives;
(5) gather and analyzing feedback from the course;
(6) determine corrective action where necessary; and
(7) monitor the results of any corrective action taken.

The quality system should only be as comprehensive as needed to meet

the quality objectives. For contractual, mandatory and assessment
purposes, demonstration of the implementation of identified elements in
the system may be required.

(b) A description of an Advisory Committee System that shall include:

(1) a membership comprised of pertinent representatives of the
aviation industry;
(2) a description of the duties and responsibilities of the advisory
committee;
(3) a mandate to ensure that course performance objectives are
current from an industry perspective, and to satisfy industry needs
for appropriately trained technical personnel;
(4) procedures to record minutes of meetings, and communicate the
decisions reached to individuals or organizations involved with
changes to the program (i.e. DGCA and training organization
officials); and
(5) procedures to document, in detail, how changes to course format
and content are handled. This shall include, but will not be limited
to, content, equipment, delivery and facilities.

While an advisory committee system is essential for basic training

organizations and is part of the quality system, formally constituted
advisory committees may not be required for type training
organizations.

participate in all learning objectives.

6. Curriculum requirements

(a) The curriculum for basic training shall include the appropriate subjects
given in AC65-2. In addition, it is the responsibility of an approved
training organization to ensure that graduating students are
knowledgeable in all aspects of aircraft maintenance, inspection and
regulatory subject matter. The methods and procedures to meet this
objective (described in detail in (d) below) must be detailed in the TPM.

The intent of the approved program is that graduates will be fully qualified
maintenance technicians who, after obtaining the required practical
experience and following successful completion of the DGCA
regulatory requirements examination, will be prepared to assume the
responsibilities and privileges of an AME licence holder.

(b) An approved maintenance or avionics program shall consist of not less

than 1800 hours of subject matter training.
(c) An approved structures program shall consist of not less than 1000
hours of subject matter training.
(d) In order to meet basic training requirements the following training
standards are deemed acceptable. The items listed below relate to the
training provided through an AMTO. In this environment, the student
who meets the criteria defined within the TPM of the organization will
be eligible for an experience credit towards the AME licensing
requirements. The tasks will demonstrate adequate knowledge and
skills in the procedures and processes required for the performance of

7
aircraft maintenance. An understanding of these concepts is required
to make determinations relating to the inspection and certification for
the purpose of Maintenance Release, regardless of the type of work.
Should alternate forms of delivery be used outside an AMTO where
task related "hands on" training is not delivered, the organization must
demonstrate compliance to all items within the training standard
through a theoretical training format. This training will include the
theoretical component associated with the performance of all tasks. No

duration.

(f) Support for practical training requirements must include a list of

instructional aids and training material. This can be achieved with any
combination of the following:
(1) a simulator or procedures trainer of a type compatible with or
similar to the aircraft;
(2) an aircraft of the type; and/or
(3) training aid mock-ups, or computer simulation systems, or any
other aids which support the intent, and are of equivalent training
value when used as a substitute for actual aircraft or systems.

The purpose of the instructional aids is to ensure that students can

identify and locate all aircraft systems and components, and are able
to effectively carry out inspections and functional tests of live or
simulated aircraft systems.

(g) Training material and instructional aids, which must be available to the
student, include student handout material and instructional guides that
are to be included in the course curriculum or training standard.

Type courses delivered by approved maintenance organizations

(AMOs), to support the issuance of aircraft maintenance engineer
licence privileges to their own employees, are approved as part of the
AMO approval process and do not require a separate AMTO approval.
However, if the AMO intends to provide aircraft type training to

12
 technicians/AMEs of other organizations, then an AMTO approval is
required.

(h) An applicant may under special circumstances request authorization

for a one-time delivery of a type course (per aircraft type). For this one-
off course delivery, a formal TPM may not be required, however,
supporting documentation must be submitted indicating the methods of
compliance specified in this SI prior to obtaining approval. Subsequent
courses must conform to all the applicable requirements specified in
Part 147 and this SI.

(i) Where an organization is engaged in the delivery of aircraft type

differences training, the difference type course prerequisites must be
such that only individuals who have successfully completed an initial
type course in the particular aircraft series can be considered as
acceptable candidates for differences training. All subject matter of the
initial aircraft type course(s), must be considered, when evaluating
differences subject matter for the applicable comparative or derivative
type aircraft.

(j) The procedure for the validation of foreign type training is as follows:
(1) foreign applicants who hold a valid licence from a Contracting
State and who seek recognition for type training received outside
of the Indonesian certification process, must request validation for
this training.
(2) the applicant shall submit a graduation certificate and a transcript
of the training or curriculum for evaluation. If the training is found
acceptable DGCA will confirm the validation in writing.
(3) where DGCA has identified training deficiencies in the submission,
the individual will be advised of the subject matter and topic areas
where additional approved training is required.

8. Record keeping

The TPM must include details of a Record Keeping System ensuring that
records are maintained and retained for a period of not less than 5 years.
The records shall include:
(a) student attendance, performance and grades;
(b) certificate issuance;
(c) advisory committee meetings and minutes; and
(d) instructor qualifications and professional development.

13
9. Attendance

(a) The TPM must include a Student Attendance Control System

containing the following:
(1) Training schedules to ensure that students do not exceed eight
hours of training (or combined duty/training) in any one day, or six
days or forty hours of duty/training in any seven day period. The
only exceptions to these requirements are in isolated situations
where, due to equipment availability, students would otherwise
miss an opportunity for access to specific equipment (e.g.
simulator, aircraft).

(2) A recording procedure to accurately document the student's

attendance so that the individual's presence is recorded and
controlled for each class, shop or laboratory activity. The following
criteria shall apply:

(A) students having missed more than 5 percent of the course

through absences, shall not qualify for experience credit from a
basic training course;

While not qualifying for an approved course credit, students

may still qualify as having completed an acceptable course in
aircraft maintenance.

(B) students who have missed more than 5 percent of the course
shall not graduate from a type training course;

(C) a student may make up the lost time which is in excess of 5

percent through documented supplementary studies, equivalent
to that missed from the original program to qualify for
experience credit. The Policy Manual shall contain details on
how this may be achieved.

The 5 percent absence policy is intended for illness,

bereavement, or other circumstances beyond the individuals
control.

14
10. Examinations

(a) The TPM must describe examination methods which evaluate whether
students have achieved the learning objectives of the training provided.
Examination methods may include written, oral, practical, or electronic
testing. Records shall be retained and made available to DGCA upon
request. Examination development shall include policies:
(1) to ensure that the quantity or the weighted value of each
examination is dependent upon the importance of the learned
outcome, the frequency of occurrence, and the level of difficulty;
and
(2) that establish the validation by an independent subject matter
expert of the validity, accuracy, clarity and appropriate weighting of
the examinations.

The completed examinations should ensure that performance

objectives have been met. The use of a test map or other devices
should ensure that those subject areas with the greatest impact are
tested to the highest level; while the subject areas, or tasks with the
least impact are tested to the lowest level.

Independent subject matter experts may be chosen from either an

external organization or from within the organization.

(b) An Examination Process Control system must also be described in the

TPM. It's objective is to ensure that:
(1) new examination questions are developed if confidentiality
becomes compromised;
(2) all examination material and marking guides are maintained in a
secure and confidential manner;
(3) examinations are carried out in a controlled environment to protect
the integrity of the evaluation process;
(4) there is consistency of examination (usually specified in the course
standard);
(5) post examination reviews are conducted and corrected to 100
percent;
(6) versions and/or variances of the evaluation instruments used in the
initial and rewrite evaluation process are secure;
(7) the successful completion of examinations occur within 1 year
following program completion;
(8) a 70 percent or greater passing grade is established for each major
subject area listed in the TPM; and
(9) limits are set for the maximum number of attempts permitted.

15
11. Graduation certificates

The TPM must describe a Certificate Issuance Control System ensuring

that certificates are delivered to students who successfully complete an
approved course. A sample of the certificate issued by the training
organization, to indicate successful completion of a course, shall be
included in the TPM. The TPM must also include a current list of names
and signatures of all individuals authorized to sign certificates, forms and
letters to DGCA.

16
