§ 121.405
Training program and revi-
sion: Initial and final approval.
(a) To obtain initial and final ap-
proval of a training program, or a revi-
sion to an approved training program,
each certificate holder must submit to
the Administrator—
(1) An outline of the proposed pro-
gram or revision, including an outline
of the proposed or revised curriculum,
that provides enough information for a
preliminary evaluation of the proposed
training program or revised training
program; and
(2) Additional relevant information
as may be requested by the Adminis-
trator.
(b) If the proposed training program
or revision complies with this subpart
the Administrator grants initial ap-
proval in writing after which the cer-
tificate holder may conduct the train-
ing in accordance with that program.
The Administrator then evaluates the
effectiveness of the training program
and advises the certificate holder of de-
ficiencies, if any, that must be cor-
rected.
(c) The Administrator grants final
approval of the training program or re-
vision if the certificate holder shows
that the training conducted under the
initial approval set forth in paragraph
(b) of this section ensures that each
person that successfully completes the
training is adequately trained to per-
form his assigned duties.
(d) In granting initial and final ap-
proval of training programs or revi-
sions, including reductions in pro-
grammed hours specified in this sub-
part, the Administrator considers the
training aids, devices, methods, and
procedures listed in the certificate
holder’s curriculum as set forth in
§ 121.403 that increase the quality and
effectiveness of the teaching-learning
process.
If approval of reduced programmed
hours of training is granted, the Ad-
ministrator provides the certificate
holder with a statement of the basis for
the approval.
(e) Whenever the Administrator finds
that revisions are necessary for the
continued adequacy of a training pro-
gram that has been granted final ap-
proval, the certificate holder shall,
after notification by the Adminis-
trator, make any changes in the pro-
gram that are found necessary by the
Administrator. Within 30 days after the
certificate holder receives such notice,
it may file a petition to reconsider the
notice with the responsible Flight
Standards office. The filing of a peti-
tion to reconsider stays the notice
pending a decision by the Adminis-
trator. However, if the Administrator
finds that there is an emergency that
requires immediate action in the inter-
est of safety in air transportation, he
may, upon a statement of the reasons,
require a change effective without
stay.
(f) Each certificate holder described
in § 135.3 (b) and (c) of this chapter
must include the material required by
§ 121.403 in the manual required by
§ 135.21 of this chapter.
(g) The Administrator may grant a
deviation to certificate holders de-
scribed in § 135.3 (b) and (c) of this chap-
ter to allow reduced programmed hours
of ground training required by § 121.419
if it is found that a reduction is war-
ranted based on the certificate holder’s
operations and the complexity of the
