20B Training and checking — direction
       (1) In this section:
non-normal exercise means a rotorcraft flight that involves the simulated failure of a vital system.
specified training or check means a rotorcraft training or check event that involves carrying out a non-normal exercise.
vital system means a system whose simulated failure in flight would adversely affect the safety of the rotorcraft as compared to normal operation.
       (2) This section applies to an Australian air transport operator (the operator) who, immediately before 2 December 2021:
(a) conducted charter operations, or aerial work (air ambulance) operations in a rotorcraft (the operations); and
(b) did not hold an approval under subregulation 217(3) of CAR, as in force immediately before 2 December 2021, for a training and checking organisation for the rotorcraft in the operations.
       (3) The operator must not use an individual to conduct the specified training or check for a flight crew member of the operator's personnel that is required under Part 133, unless a requirement mentioned in subsection (4) or (5) is met.
       (4) For subsection (3), if a registered aircraft that is a rotorcraft is used:
(a) the individual must be able to exercise the privileges of one of the following for the relevant type or class (as applicable) of rotorcraft being used for the specified training or check:
           (i) a flight instructor rating and appropriate training endorsement;
           (ii) a flight examiner rating and appropriate flight examiner endorsement;
           (iii) if the specified training or check is conducted in a flight training device — a simulator instructor rating and appropriate training endorsement;
           (iv) an approval under regulation 61.040 that confers equivalent privileges as those under subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable to the specified training or check; or
(b) the operator must hold CASA's approval that its training and checking system, as applied to the individual, produces a safety outcome equivalent to that under paragraph (a).
Note 1   The effect of subsection (4) is that if the operator uses an individual to conduct a specified training or check, the individual must have appropriate CASR Part 61 qualifications to conduct the training or check unless the operator obtains CASA's approval.
Note 2   The requirements under regulation 133.377, and section 12.11 of the Part 133 MOS, must still be met in addition to the requirements in paragraph (a) or (b).
Note 3   For registered, in relation to a rotorcraft, see the definition in the
