The use of a more complex device requires additional considerations, regarding the capabilities and characteristics of the device and the impact this may have on the training objective(s).Īs an example, the OSD FC may refer to an FMS desktop trainer for Level C training. In principle, the devices described in the OSD FC document and the devices used in pilot training should be of the same training level. With regard to the acquisition of skills through practical training, the OSD FC minimum syllabus identifies elements requiring Level C, D or E practical training and these elements are usually associated in the OSD FC document with specified training devices. Training organisations may find it more practical to combine Level A and Level B elements into one module of the higher level (such as computer-based training or instructor-led sessions). With regard to the acquisition of knowledge through theoretical training, some elements may be validated as Level A and can be adequately addressed through self-instruction, whereas other elements may require aided instruction and are identified as Level B.

for aircraft modifications or between variants) identifies minimum training levels and associated training devices, if required. The data approved in the OSD FC are linked to the minimum training syllabus for a pilot type rating. Complete current OSD information is held by the relevant type certificate (TC) or supplemental type certificate (STC) holder.įurthermore, the lists provide aircraft-specific references relevant to flight crew qualifications and air operations, including references to (non-OSD) documents, such as (J)OEB reports or Operational Evaluation Guidance Material (OE GM).Įxplanatory notes for these lists are found at the same website location. EASA type certificate data sheets (TCDSs) and the list of EASA supplemental type certificates contain further references to OSD. The lists also indicates if operational suitability data (OSD) for flight crew are available. These lists constitute the class and type of aircraft categorisations in accordance with definitions of category of aircraft, class of aeroplane, and type of aircraft and paragraph FCL.700 and GM1 FCL.700 of Annex I (Part-FCL) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011. Two separate EASA type rating and licence endorsement lists - flight crew are published by EASA (one for helicopters and one for all other aircraft): Type Ratings and Licence endorsement lists.
