While physical distancing remains a training constraint, the State may need to consider allowing alternative means of training delivery for hands-on and practical exercises that could further the transmission of COVID-19, (e.g. erecting a life-raft canopy from the outside of a raft, versus the inside of the raft). When assessing the adequacy of alternative methods for delivering cabin crew training, the State should consider the following:
Aspect |
Items to Consider |
Further Guidance |
Size and complexity of the operator | |
Refer to Sections 2.4/2.5
of Doc 10148 |
Operator's digital learning capabilities |
Existing e-learning platform
Capability for instructor-led online training sessions
Operator's experience with digital learning
|
Number and location of the operator's training facilities |
Types of facilities and devices at each centre (e.g. full motion cabin simulator)
Domestic vs. foreign training centres
Use of facilities and training devices owned by another operator, or by approved training organization (ATO)
|
Regardless, the operator should support any proposed change in training delivery methods with a safety risk assessment for the State to review, before implementing the change. Once conditions permit, the required hands-on and practical exercises should be completed by each cabin crew member.
