SCOPE AND PURPOSE

The PANS-TRG is complementary to the SARPs. The PANS-TRG generally addresses competency-based training and assessment programmes that stakeholders may choose to implement.

The PANS-TRG’s purpose is to support the training and qualification of personnel conducting activities affecting safety and for whom there are detailed SARPs in Annexes or procedures in PANS with requirements for such training and qualification.

The PANS-TRG specifies, in greater detail than in the SARPs, the actual procedures to be applied by training organizations when providing training for aeronautical personnel. This edition contains procedures for the development and implementation of various competency-based training and assessment programmes designed to meet the Annex 1 requirements for pilots, including the MPL, the RPL¹, the type rating and pilot instructors, and the AMMTE licence, as well as those flight crew training programmes developed under the EBT concept, which provides an alternative means

of satisfying the recurrent training requirements of Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft, Part I — International Commercial Air Transport — Aeroplanes. It also details the methodologies to successfully introduce aeroplane UPRT training at the commercial pilot (aeroplane) and MPL levels, as well as providing UPRT in a flight simulation training device at the commercial air transport pilot and type rating level to support the UPRT provisions promulgated in Annex 1 and Annex 6, Part I. The PANS-TRG also specifies procedures for the harmonized implementation of training procedures for ATM personnel and flight operations officers/flight dispatchers.
