Introduction
A Repair Station / Approved Maintenance Organization Training Program is a prerequisite for obtaining Part 145 approval for many National Aviation Authorities (NAA) who base their regulations on U.S. Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Mechanics may acquire their initial skills through formal training, such as Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools (AMTS), or hands-on experience working under certificated mechanics or in the military. Once an individual obtains a certificate, the acquired experience can vary substantially, as well as the type or level of training.
There are numerous categories of personnel employed by Part 145 organizations, with a variety of specialties. Hiring practices vary widely among repair stations with some employees having direct relevant experience, certification, and training, while others do not. There is maintenance personnel who work for temporary placement organizations, which permit repair stations to meet peak workload demands.
Therefore, all employees that are assigned tasks to perform maintenance (including inspection), preventive maintenance, or alteration must be included in the training program to ensure they are can perform the specific assigned tasks of the repair station.
Some Part 145 repair stations have EASA certifications. EASA Part-145 contains licensing and training requirements for Approved Maintenance Organizations (AMO) that perform maintenance on articles of those operators under the regulatory control of European Union (EU) Member States. These EASA Part-145 requirements can affect other NAA part 145-approved repair stations that also have EASA approvals since EASA requires maintenance human factors training as part of the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) and Maintenance Implementation Procedures (MIP) with the United States.
This training includes practical examples of how to establish a Training Program to achieve regulatory approval as well as the sharing of experiences by the instructor on how to gain employee ‘buy-in’ to implement a company-wide training program which ensures that personnel competence is measured and continually improved upon.
