       The theoretical training minimum tuition hours are contained in the following table:

(a) For the purpose of the table above, tuition hour means 60 minutes of teaching and excludes any breaks, examination, revision, preparation and aircraft visits.
(b) Hours prescribed in the table above apply only to theoretical courses for complete aircraft/engine combinations according to the type rating as defined by CASA.

       Minimum participation time is at least 90% of the tuition hours of the theoretical training course. Additional training may be given by the training organisation in order to meet the minimum participation time. The number of tuition hours per day for the theoretical training must not exceed 8 hours, which must be performed during regular office hours; in exceptional cases, deviation from this standard may be envisaged when justified. This maximum number of hours is also applicable for the combination of theoretical and practical training, when they are performed at the same time.

      4 Justification of course duration:

       When applying for approval of a Part 147 course, or a course to be approved directly by CASA, the proposed hour duration must be justified and shown to cover the full syllabus by a training needs analysis based on:

(a) the design of the aircraft type, its maintenance needs and the types of operation; and
(b) detailed analysis of applicable chapters – see contents table below; and
(c) detailed competency analysis showing that the objectives as stated in paragraph 2.1 (a) above are fully met; and
(d) information based on approved type design, if necessary.

       Tuition hours of differences courses, and other training course combinations, such as combined B1/B2 courses, must be justified to CASA by the training needs analysis as described above.

      5 Content:
     As a minimum, the elements in the syllabus below, that are specific to the aircraft type, must be covered. Additional elements introduced due to type variations, technological changes etc. must also be included. The training syllabus should be focused on mechanical, powerplant, structural and electrical aspects for B1 personnel, and electrical and avionic aspects for B2.
