Study Notes
Engine Ground-Run Training
- Engine ground-run training can be conducted in aircraft, simulators, or a combination
- Requires classroom training, briefings, and debriefings
- Trained by a person certified in workplace training and assessment, competent to conduct engine runs
- Authorization may be limited to simulator training, trainer needing only a CASR Part 66 licence rating for the engine.
- For aircraft training, the trainer needs a rated CASR Part 66 licence or other appropriate authorization (e.g., a licensed pilot)
- Training must follow normal maintenance procedures
- Training and assessment should be clearly distinguished
- Students shouldn't be assessed on emergency procedures if they haven't been trained on them
Assessment
- Satisfactory completion demonstrated by completing all procedures and answering questions
- Questions can be asked before, during, or after the run session (briefing, run, or debriefing)
- Questions should be relevant to the current operations to prevent distraction and confusion for the student(s)
Records
- Records of satisfactory completion must be kept permanently in the student's training records or personal file.
- The records should be verified by the trainer/assessor and include the date(s) of the training/assessment.

- Fuel tank safety and maintenance procedures, including entry/exit procedures, clean working environments, configuration control, and wire separation/bonding.
- Understand flammability reduction systems (FRS).
- Recognize safety precautions when working with an FRS and nitrogen.
Taxiing Aircraft Authorisation
- Part 31 and Part 66 licenses do not authorize taxiing
- Separate taxi approval is required by a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME)
