Division 2—Initial training for flight crew
Note 1: Provisions in Part 119 of CASR relating to human factors and non-technical skills also affect the training that an operator is required to provide to flight crew members. A flight crew member must meet the requirements in the operator's exposition about training in human factors principles and non-technical skills before carrying out a duty of the person's position: see regulation 119.180 of CASR. Regulation 119.175 of CASR requires the operator to have a program for training and assessing its operational safety-critical personnel in human factors principles and non-technical skills.
Note 2: Other CASR provisions may affect the training that an operator is required to provide to flight crew members. For example, Australian aircraft operators must ensure that certain of its employees undertake dangerous goods training in accordance with regulation 92.110 of CASR before the employee first performs certain duties for the operator.
Note 3: Other Commonwealth legislation such as the Navigation Act 2012, the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004, and the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 may also affect the training that an operator is required to provide to flight crew members.
