Subpart H--Training

 

Sec. 135.341 - Pilot and flight attendant crewmember training programs.

 

(a) Each certificate holder, other than one who uses only one pilot in the certificate holder's operations, shall establish and maintain an approved pilot training program, and each certificate holder who uses a flight attendant crewmember shall establish and maintain an approved flight attendant training program, that is appropriate to the operations to which each pilot and flight attendant is to be assigned, and will ensure that they are adequately trained to meet the applicable knowledge and practical testing requirements of Secs. 135.293 through 135.301. However, the Administrator may authorize a deviation from this section if the Administrator finds that, because of the limited size and scope of the operation, safety will allow a deviation from these requirements.

 

(b) Each certificate holder required to have a training program by paragraph (a) of this section shall include in that program ground and flight training curriculums for--
 

(1) Initial training;
 


(2) Transition training;
 

(3) Upgrade training;
 

(4) Differences training; and
 

(5) Recurrent training.
 

(c) Each certificate holder required to have a training program by paragraph (a) of this section shall provide current and appropriate study materials for use by each required pilot and flight attendant.
 

(d) The certificate holder shall furnish copies of the pilot and flight attendant crewmember training program, and all changes and additions, to the assigned representative of the Administrator. If the certificate holder uses training facilities of other persons, a copy of those training programs or appropriate portions used for those facilities shall also be furnished. Curricula that follow FAA published curricula may be cited by reference in the copy of the training program furnished to the representative of the Administrator and need not be furnished with the program.

Comments: Those certificate holders who utilize flight attendants must have an FAA-approved training program in place. One huge loophole: charter operators can have someone onboard their aircraft responsible for passenger comfort who is technically not a flight attendant. This person would be counted as a passenger instead! Regarding duty rest, there are rules, exceptions to the rules, but mandated requirements that a certificate holder must follow.
