Preamble

The initial operational evaluation of the A330-200/-300 series was conducted in a “catch-up

process”, based on the differences between the variants using the findings of existing evaluation

reports from JAA National Aviation Authorities and from the FAA, as no operational evaluation had

been carried out at the time of entry into service of the A330.

Additional specific items which are related to the entry into service of the Airbus A330-200

“Freighter” (A330-200F) were evaluated by a subsequent OEB and are incorporated in Revision 1

of this report.

As a result of these operational evaluations, a single license endorsement for the A330-200, A330-

200F and the A330-300 is recommended in accordance with Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.220.

This report further specifies the EASA pilot type rating, initial training course, familiarization

courses, checking and currency minimum requirements, and operational recommendations:

for an initial pilot type rating on the A330 series; and

for pilots already qualified on one A330 variant and transitioning to another variant.

The initial evaluation was conducted in accordance with the JAA Terms of Reference and the

JOEB Handbook. The A330-200F evaluation was conducted in compliance with the applicable

EASA OEB Handbook and Common Procedure Document (CPD) for conducting Operational

Evaluation Boards.

28 March 2011

Evan Nielsen Head of Flight Standards Department Certification Directorate



Executive Summary 1. Background

1.1 The initial A330-200/-300 series operational evaluation was conducted by the Joint Aviation

Authorities (JAA) in accordance with JAA JOEB requirements and was completed in December

2004.

1.2 Asubsequent A330-200F operational evaluation was conducted by the European Aviation

Safety Agency (EASA) in accordance with EASA OEB requirements and was completed in

February 2011.

2. Scope of the evaluation

2.1 Airbus requested confirmation that the A330-200, A330-200F and A330-300 share the

same type rating and should therefore have a single type rating licence endorsement: “A330” for all

variants. Also,pilots holding an A330 type rating achieved on the A330-200, A330-200F or the

A330-300 should be able to qualify on another variant after completion of familiarization training

using CBT as a ground school tool to cover technical differences.

3. Evaluation Process

3.1 Initial evaluation of the A330-200 and A330-300

During this evaluation, JAA JAR requirements of JAR-OPS 1 (§ 1.940, 1.945, 1.950, 1.965, 1.970

and 1.980 including associated appendices, AMCs and IEMs) and JAR-FCL 1 (§1.215, 1.220,

1.225, 1.230 1.235, 1.240 and 1.261 including associated appendices, AMCs and IEMs) have

been considered.

System differences were reviewed and Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures compared

between the A330-200 and A330-300. Airbus provided ODR tables as a basis for the evaluation.

Sample ODRs were examined and proposed CBT was reviewed.Previous evaluations made by the

France DGAC, on behalf the JAA for the A330/A340 in April 1998 was also considered. (Refer to

Annex 3).

3.2 Subsequent evaluation of the A330-200F

A dedicated operational evaluation for the A330-200F was conducted. During this evaluation, the

requirements contained in EU-OPS (§ 1.940, 1.945, 1.950, 1.965, 1.970 and 1.980 including

associated appendices and Temporary Guide Leaflet -TGL 44) and JAR-FCL 1 (§1.215, 1.220,

1.225, 1.230 1.235, 1.240 and 1.261 including associated appendices, AMCs and IEMs) have

been considered.



System differences were reviewed and Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures compared

between the A330-200/-300 and the A330-200F. Airbus provided ODR tables as a basis for the

evaluation. Sample ODRs were examined and proposed CBT was reviewed.

4. Results

4.1 Initial evaluation of the A330-200 and A330-300

The JOEB confirmed that only Level “B” differences (aircraft are functionally similar) exist between

the A330-200 and the A330-300.

Ground courseware using CBT/Video/Transparencies is adequate to cover these differences when

transitioning from:

the A330-200 variant to the A330-300 variant; and

the A330-300 variant to the A330-200 variant.

4.2 Subsequent evaluation of the A330-200F

The OEB confirmed that only Level "B" differences (aircraft are functionally similar) exist between

the A330-200/-300 and the A330-200F.

Ground courseware using CBT/Video/Transparencies is adequate to cover these differences when

transitioning from:

the A330-200/300 variant to the A330-200F variant; and

the A330-200F variant to the A330-200/-300 variant.

5. Conclusion

EASA recommends the approval of the Airbus proposed training courses for initial type rating on

the A330 and familiarization training for variants.

EASA confirms the same type rating, “A330” (as single licence endorsement) is applied to all

variants of the A330.

Operational Evaluation Report – FCL & OPS Subgroup

1. Purpose and Applicability

This report

defines the Type Rating assigned to the A330 family;

proposes Master Common Requirements (MCR);

describes Master Differences Requirements (MDR) for crews requiring differences training;

provides reference of acceptable Operator Difference Requirements (ODR) tables;

makes recommendations for initial training;

makes recommendations for familiarization training courses;

makes recommendations for checking; and

makes recommendations for currency.

2. Pilot Type Rating requirements

In reference to JAR FCL1 Subpart F and to the OEB evaluation procedures, the same type rating

and, consequently, the same licence endorsement are assigned to the A330-200, the A330-200F

and the A330-300.

Pilots completing the necessary training and checks in the A330-200, A330-200F or A330-300 as

per JAR- FCL 1, prescribed by this report, are assigned the “A330” type rating.

Unless otherwise specified, “A330” or “A330 family” means A330-200, A330-200F and A330-300 variants throughout the report.

3. Master Common Requirements

Master Common Requirements (MCR) are requirements common to the A330 family.The A330-

200, A330-200F and A330-300 variants have been designed with a very high level of commonality

in terms of:

cockpit layout;

system definition and operation; and

handling characteristics.

This level of commonality has a direct and significant impact on the definition of the training

programmes.

3.1 Altitude callouts during landing Use of automatic voice callouts for landing is the same for all A330 aircraft.

These callouts may be customized consistent with regulatory requirements for low visibility

operation (e.g. EU-OPS) for the intended operation. Operators flying more than one A330 variant

should standardize those callouts within their fleet.



3.2 Aircraft Approach Categories:

With reference to EU-OPS Appendix 2 to 1.430(c) the approach categories are as follows:

Aircraft Category

A330-200 C

A330-200F C

A330-300 C

4. Master Differences Requirements tables

Master Difference Requirements (MDR) for the A330 aircraft are shown in the table below. The

initial MDRs for the A330-200 and A330-300 were based on the FAA FSB report, the subsequent

addition of the A330-200F is based on the OEB evaluation.

Definitions of the various levels for Training/Checking/Currency are those used in the CPD. For

reference, the relevant definitions are included below the table.

TO FROM

A330-200 A330-200F A330-300

A330-200 n/a B/A/A B/A/A

A330-200F B/A/A n/a B/A/A

A330-300 B/A/A B/A/A n/a

“n/a” means “Not Applicable”

Difference level definitions Training/Checking/Currency extracted from the CPD:

Level B Training. Level B difference training is applicable to functionally similar aircraft

with system or procedure differences that can adequately be addressed through aided

instruction. At Level B, aided instruction is appropriate to ensure crew understanding,

emphasize issues, provide a standardised method of presentation of material, or to aid

retention of material following training. Level B aided instruction typically employs such

methods as slide/tape presentations, Computer Based Training (CBT), stand-up lectures,

or videotapes.

Level A Checking. Level A checking indicates that no check related to differences is

required at the time of differences training. A crewmember is, however, responsible for

knowledge of each variant flown, and differences may (and should) be included as an

integral part of subsequent recurrent proficiency checks.



Level A Currency. At Level A currency is considered to be common to each variant. Thus,

assessment or tracking of currency for separate variants is not necessary or applicable.

Maintenance of currency at in any one variant or a combination of variants suffices for any

other variant.

5. Operator Differences Requirements Tables

ODR tables are used to show an operator‟s compliance method. Airbus generic ODR tables are on

file with EASA. Copies are available on request. These ODR tables are provided as Airbus generic

and therefore may not include items that are applicable to particular operators. The ODR tables

assume that pilots are qualified, current and experienced in operating the base aircraft.

The initial A330-200/-300 series Airbus ODR tables were developed in accordance with AMC

1.980(b) & IEM 1.980(b) of JAR-OPS 1 Subpart N. For the A330-200F, the Airbus ODR tables

have been developed in accordance with EU-OPS 1.980 and TGL 44 AMC & IEM to Appendix 1 to

OPS 1.980.

These ODR tables have been found acceptable by EASA. They represent an acceptable means of

compliance with MDR provisions for the aircraft evaluated based on those differences and

compliance methods shown. These tables do not necessarily represent the only means of

compliance for operators with aircraft having other differences.

Operators using more than one A330 variant must have approved ODR tables pertinent to their

fleet.

6 Specifications for Training

6.1 Initial Type Rating course (transition course)

6.1.1 Area of emphasis

Features within the electronic flight control system and its associated side stick controller, the

A/THR system, and the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring system (ECAM) warrant special

interest and emphasis.

NOTE: The following applies to the A330 family but also to all aircraft types and variants

that belong to the Airbus “fly by wire” family.

In light of the unique features of this aircraft family, the OEB has determined that certain aspects of

knowledge, skills and abilities must be emphasized during the initial training process.



The following areas of emphasis apply to the entire A330 family:

Fly by wire

- Knowledge of flight characteristics and the degree of flight envelope protection

provided by the various flight control laws both for pitch, roll and yaw control

- Procedural and handling consequences following multiple failures that result in

alternate and/or direct law

- Knowledge of the use of side stick controller with a special emphasis on the

relationship between the two controllers and the transfer of control

Use of the Flight Management System

- Knowledge of the various modes of automation

- Knowledge and skills related to MCDU / FCU use

- Recognition of mode awareness and transition modes through the FMA

- CRM issues linked to automation (task sharing and crosschecks)

Use of ECAM

- Knowledge of appropriate use of ECAM in conjunction with system failures

- Crew discipline for ECAM actions: respect of the depicted procedure, crosscheck of

irreversible actions, aircraft status analysis

Auto Thrust system

- Knowledge of the thrust control system in conjunction with the “non-moving throttles”

- Recognition of all messages associated to Auto Thrust failure, engagement and

disconnection

The following additional areas of emphasis apply to the A330-200F:

Flight Emergency procedure following cabin depressurization

- Knowledge of appropriate procedures (specific to the A330-200F) regarding the

survey of the cabin and the communication with occupants after a cabin

depressurization

Flight Emergency procedure following MDCC Smoke Alert (specific to the A330-200F)

- Knowledge of appropriate procedures regarding the fire protection (MDCC smoke)

and commanded depressurization (MDCC smoke).



6.1.2 Type rating course

The Airbus proposed type-rating training (transition course) is in compliance with Appendix 2 to

JAR-FCL 1.240 & 1.295 and AMC FCL 1.261 (c) (2).

The course is divided into the following phases:

ground phase;

normal phase;

abnormal/emergency phase;

LOFT phase;

skill test (see para. 7 „checking‟ for details); and

flight phase (base training, if applicable).

All flight crew are “Trained to Proficiency”. The objectives and phases breakdown are included in

Annex 1. They are extracted from the Airbus Flight Crew Training Programme (FCTP) approved

under Airbus TRTO documentation, and reflect the status of the A330 type-rating course.

For a pilot to be qualified onto a specific variant of the A330, several paths exist depending upon

simulator availability. These paths are as follows:

a) Qualification onto A330-200

Type Rating course conducted in an A330-200 simulator, or

Type Rating course conducted in an A330-300 simulator and then familiarization course

from A330-300 to A330-200

b) Qualification onto A330-200F

Type rating course conducted in an A330-200 simulator and then familiarization course

from A330-200 to A330-200F; or

Type rating course conducted in an A330-300 simulator and then familiarization course

from A330-300 to A330-200F

c) Qualification onto A330-300

Type rating course conducted in an A330-300 simulator; or

Type Rating course conducted in an A330-200 simulator and then familiarization course

from A330-200 to A330-300

In summary, for type rating course on the A330 family, any simulator configuration can be used,

provided that the familiarization training for the variant to be flown is subsequently conducted.



6.2 Line flying under supervision (LIFUS)

6.2 .1 Purpose of LIFUS

There are a variety of reasons why the OEB may specify LIFUS in conjunction with master

difference requirements. One or more of the reasons described below may apply:

a. Introduction of new aircraft types or variants;

b. Introduction of new systems (e.g., FMS, TCAS);

c. Introduction of new operation (e.g. oceanic, polar or ETOPS operations);

d. Experience for a particular crew position (e.g. PIC, SIC, F/E);

e. Post qualification skill refinement (e.g. refining alternate or multiple ways to use

particular equipment to increase operating efficiency, operating flexibility, or

convenience); or

f. Special characteristics (e.g. airport category in accordance with EU-OPS 1.975,

mountainous areas, unusual or adverse weather, special air traffic control procedures,

non-standard runway surfaces and dimensions, etc.).

6.2.2 LIFUS in case of initial type rating onto any A330 variant

In the case of an initial type rating onto the A330, a minimum of 10 sectors including a line check is

recommended for LIFUS.

This may be reduced at the discretion of the NAA taking in account relevant factors such as

EASA/OEB CCQ/MFF evaluations and previous Airbus “fly by wire” experience of the pilots.

Where there is a change of operating conditions or route structure this should also be taken into

account and may need the addition of sectors to cover these elements.

6.3 Familiarization courses and sectors

6.3.1 Familiarization courses

The OEB recommends approving the Airbus familiarization training courses:

The transition between the A330-200 & A330-300 and the transition between the A330-200/-300 &

A330-200F have been assessed as requiring Level B training.

Familiarization training is based upon clearly defined learning objectives and addresses all

differences as identified in the ODR tables.

Airbus familiarization courses provided under CBT have been assessed and found acceptable.



6.3.2 Familiarization sectors

Following familiarization training between A330 variants, the OEB does not find any need for

familiarization sectors.

NOTE: Familiarization sectors differ from LIFUS, as a line check is not required following

completion of those familiarization sectors, when required.

6.4 Recurrent training

The recurrent training programme must comply with EU-OPS 1.965.

All A330 variants are under the same license endorsement. As a consequence, recurrent training

on one variant is valid for all, provided that the differences between variants are covered.

Differences between the A330 variants are identified in ODR tables, as specified under EU-OPS

1.980.

Differences between the A330 variants have been assessed at Level B which means that recurrent

training shall be addressed through aided instruction, such as:

slide / tape presentations;

CBT which may be interactive;

video; and/or

classroom instruction.

As a consequence, recurrent training can be conducted on any A330 simulator, provided that the

differences are covered as per the proposed matrix in Annex 2.

7. Specifications for checking

7.1 Skill test following a type-rating course (transition course)

In addition to the mandatory items from the skill test as per Appendix 2 to of JAR-FCL 1.240, the

following features must be checked:

use of side-stick controller;

knowledge of the various mode of automation;

knowledge and skills related to the use of MCDU/ FCU and crosschecks using the FMA;

use of ECAM; and

use of auto thrust system.



7.2 Recurrent Checking Checks

Proficiency checks must be conducted in compliance with JAR-FCL 1.245 and EU-OPS 1.965.

The OEB confirms that a proficiency check conducted on one variant is valid for all variants,

provided that the differences have been covered during the recurrent training, as per the enclosed

Table in Annex 2.

Consequently proficiency checks can be conducted on any A330 simulator.

7.3 Line checks

As all A330 variants share same type rating (single licence endorsement), a line check on any of

them is valid for all.

8. Currency / Recent experience

Compliance with EU-OPS 1.970 or JAR-FCL 1.026, as appropriate, is required for recent

experience.

Concerning the A330 family, the OEB concluded that take-offs and landings performed on one

A330 variant, within ninety days, are valid for all variants. This means that for pilots flying more

than one A330 variant, the recent experience requirement is satisfied as soon as they achieve 3

take-offs and landings, as handling pilot, regardless of the variant flown.

9. Operational recommendations

The OEB recommends that an operator using more than one A330 variant in his fleet, should,

when possible, use a unique cockpit configuration for the following safety related items:

unit system (metric or non-metric) on all displays;

altimeter settings (QNH/QFE);

callouts; and

FMS specifications and functions (software and hardware).



10. Additional operational recommendations specific to the A330-200F

10.1 Categories of occupants accepted in the courier compartment

The A330-200F is a full freighter A330 variant, which presents the particularity to have a Class E

Main Deck Cargo Compartment (MDCC) and a courier compartment forward of the cargo

bulkhead, called the “Cabin”, which can provide seating for up to 12 occupants (two seat rows of 6

seats).

As the installation of a courier area on an airplane with a class E Cargo compartment is not in

compliance with CS 25.857(e) requirement, EASA has issued a special condition for A330-200F

specific scope of operations.

Operators should therefore incorporate the following recommendations, as highlighted in the AFM:

The total courier occupancy is restricted to 12 persons who are:

(i) briefed by a flight crew member prior to each flight:

on the use of the emergency escape means (door opening, slide release) and

on preparation for an emergency landing; and

on the location and usage of oxygen equipment (portable and automatic) and

on the procedures to be followed in case of

- a cabin depressurization followed by a descent to a lower level; and

- the application of the MDCC Smoke procedure with acommanded

depressurisation followed by a level flight requiring permanent use of

oxygen masks; and

(ii) physically able to accomplish the necessary emergency procedures.

Access to main deck cargo compartment is not allowed during taxi, takeoff, and landing.

For access in flight, refer to the AFM.

10.2 Aeroplane Search Procedure checklist

In order to comply with the EU-OPS 1.1250 requirement „Aeroplane Search Procedure checklist‟,

operators should incorporate into their operating manual the following procedures:

FCOM – Abnormal/Emergency procedures – Bomb on Board

10.3 Weight and Balance / Cargo Considerations

The familiarization briefing should emphasize the weight and balance characteristics for the

operation of the A330-200F, including reference to MLW, cg limits, loading and loadsheet

application(s), as well as MDCC cargo securing.



10.4 Flight Emergency procedure following MDCC Smoke Alert

In case of Main Deck Cargo Smoke Alert, the flight crew should depressurize the cabin at 20,000ft

until safe landing at the nearest diversion airport can be made.

Operators should therefore incorporate into their operating manual the following procedures:

CCOM – Abnormal / Emergency procedures

- Cabin Depressurization

- MDCC Smoke

- MDCC Depressurization

FCTM – Pre Start: Preliminary Cockpit Preparation

FCOM

- Preliminary Cockpit Preparation

- Limitations to cabin occupants
