§ 135.325

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 or re-

vised curriculum, that provides enough 
information for a preliminary evalua-
tion of the proposed training program 
or revision; and 

(2) Additional relevant information 

that 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 under that program. The Adminis-
trator then evaluates the effectiveness 
of the training program and advises the 
certificate holder of deficiencies, if 
any, that must be corrected. 

(c) The Administrator grants final 

approval of the proposed training pro-
gram or revision if the certificate hold-
er shows that the training conducted 
under the initial approval in paragraph 
(b) of this section ensures that each 
person who successfully completes the 
training is adequately trained to per-
form that person’s assigned duties. 

(d) 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 the notice, 
it may file a petition to reconsider the 
notice with the Administrator. The fil-
ing of a petition to reconsider stays the 
notice pending a decision by the Ad-
ministrator. However, if the Adminis-
trator finds that there is an emergency 
that requires immediate action in the 
interest of safety, the Administrator 
may, upon a statement of the reasons, 
require a change effective without 
stay. 

§ 135.327

Training program: Cur-

riculum. 

(a) Each certificate holder must pre-

pare and keep current a written train-
ing program curriculum for each type 
of aircraft for each crewmember re-
quired for that type aircraft. The cur-
riculum must include ground and flight 
training required by this subpart. 

(b) Each training program cur-

riculum must include the following: 

(1) A list of principal ground training 

subjects, including emergency training 
subjects, that are provided. 

(2) A list of all the training devices, 

mockups, systems trainers, procedures 
trainers, or other training aids that 
the certificate holder will use.
