Crewmember
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES TRAINING REGULATIONS
Emergency training requirements have been established worldwide. In the U.S.A. there is a basic difference is between (corpo rate) FAR Part 91 and (air carrier) Parts 135, 121, and 125. In Canada, the Canadian Avia tion Regulations, CAR Part 604 governing Private Operator Passenger Transportation, virtually erases the difference between corporate and air carrier operations in Canada -- air carrier rules prevail. In Europe, the Joint Aviation Regulations, EASA, are similar to the U.S. FAR Part 121 requirements.
FAR PART 91
FAR part 91 list broad requirements regarding emergency training, no program is outlined and FAA approvals are not required.
§ 91.505 Familiarity with operating limitations and emergency equipment.
(b) Each required member of the crew shall, before beginning a flight, familiarize himself with the emergency equipment installed on the airplane to which he is assigned and with the procedures to be followed for use with that equipment in an emergency situation. However, the “intent” of §91.505(b) is: Each and every crewmember including pilots, flight engineers, flight mechanics, and flight attendants must receive training in keeping with government and industry standards and the training program and crewmember participation shall be documented.
FAR PART 91, SUBPART K
These represent Fractional Aircraft Operations. § 91.1083 Crewmember emergency training. (partial text)
(a) Each training program must provide emergency training under this section for each aircraft type, model, and configuration, each crewmember, and each kind of operation conducted, as appropriate for each crewmember and the program manager. The balance of this section §91.1083 Crewmember emergency training, outlines emergency training requirements for crewmembers, that are equivalent to part 121 and part 135 levels of safety.
FAR PART 135
This describes Air Taxi and Charter (for Hire) operations. FAR part 135 is explicit in its emergency training requirement. CAR 604 is in most cases similar to FAR part 135 operating rules. As part 91 does not specify an emergency curriculum, FACTS adopts part 135 and CAR 604 as curricula guidelines in its Initial and Recurrent aircrew emergency training programs.
