experience in performing safe maintenance. D7.14.6. CONTENTS:

D7.14.6.1. The OJT tasks to be completed shall be representative of the aircraft and systems both in complexity and in the technical input required to complete that task. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex maintenance tasks shall also be incorporated and undertaken as appropriate to the aircraft type.

Tasks should be selected among those applicable to the type of aircraft and licence (sub)category applied for. Other tasks than those in the Appendix II may be considered as a replacement when they are relevant. Typically, in addition to the variety and the complexity, the OJT tasks should be selected because of their frequency, safety, novelty, etc.

D7.14.6.5. The use of simulators for OJT should not be allowed. D7.14.6.6. The OJT should include one-to-one supervision and should involve

actual job card/work task performance on aircraft/components, covering line and/or base maintenance tasks.

D7.14.7. CONDUCT OF OJT: D7.14.7.1. The organisation providing the on-the-job training should provide

trainees with a schedule or plan indicating the list of tasks to be performed under supervision. A record of the tasks completed should be entered into a logbook which should be designed such that each task or group of tasks is countersigned by the corresponding supervisor(s). The logbook format and its use should be clearly defined.

D7.14.7.2. Regarding the day-to-day supervision of the OJT programme in the approved maintenance organisation and the role of the supervisor(s), the following should be considered:

a) It is sufficient that the completion of individual OJT tasks is confirmed by the supervisor(s), without being necessary the direct evaluation of the assessor.

b) During the day-to-day OJT performance, the supervision aims at overseeing the complete process, including task completion, use of manuals and procedures, observance of safety measures, warnings and recommendations and adequate behaviour in the maintenance environment.

c) The supervisor(s) should personally observe the work being performed to ensure the safe completeness and should be readily available for consultation, if needed during the OJT performance.

d) The supervisor(s) should countersign the tasks and release the maintenance tasks as the trainee is still not qualified to do so.

e) The supervisor(s) should therefore: i. have certifying staff or support staff privileges relevant to the

OJT tasks; ii. be safety-orientated; iii. be capable to instruct (setting objectives, giving training,

performing supervision, handling trainee’s reactions, managing objectively and positively debriefing sessions, determining the need for extra training etc);

iv. be designated by the approved maintenance organisation to carry out the supervision.

D7.14.8. ASSESSMENT: D7.14.8.1. The assessment of OJT should focus on the competencies relevant

c) Knowledge and understanding of areas requiring special emphasis or novelty;

d) Using reports and indications (the ability to read and interpret); e) Aircraft documentation finding and handling (identify the

appropriate aircraft documentation, navigate, execute and obey the prescribed maintenance procedures);

f) Perform maintenance actions (demonstrate safe handling of aircraft, engines, components and tools);

g) Aircraft final/close-up and report (apply close up, initiate appropriate actions/follow-up/ records of testing, establish and sign maintenance records/logbooks).



D7.14.8.2. Regarding the assessor, the following should be considered: a) The function of the assessor, is to conduct the final assessment

of the completed OJT. This assessment should include confirmation of the completion of the required diversity and quantity of OJT and should be based on the supervisor(s) reports and feedback.

b) The assessor should demonstrate training and experience on the assessment process being undertaken and should be approved and authorised to do so by the quality head of organisation.
