FO – 3 Company Manuals *
During the review of the company manuals, several areas were identified where procedures were either not linked from one manual to another or were lacking elements needed to fully comply with regulatory requirements. These, as well as shortcomings in the Dispatch Manual (see FO-9) and the Flight Attendant Manual (see CS-2), were identified under a single audit finding to simplify preparation of the corrective action plan and subsequent post-audit follow-up. A finding was also assigned to the Company Operations Manual for the lack of any mention of the Flight Safety Program, a requirement for all 705 operations.
FO – 6 Company Check Pilot (CCP) Program *
Acme Aero has three Type A CCPs and one Type B CCP. One of the Type A CCP’s was found to have conducted 2 PPCs while his authority had expired due to a monitor ride not being done. This resulted in the company removing two pilots from flight status until such time as their PPCs could be renewed by a qualified CCP. It was also noted that the company had not implemented the required monitoring system to ensure that a CCP’s authority is valid prior to scheduling the CCP to conduct a flight check. In addition to this, the monthly schedule of proposed flight checks was not being submitted to Transport Canada, nor was notification of CCPs who were no longer with the company.
FO – 7 Flight Crew Training Program *
The company flight crew training programs were reviewed and a number of deficiencies were identified. These resulted in three audit findings being assigned. A number of training programs were missing essential elements, the most important of which was the lack of night flying training during HS74 initial flight training, and emergency procedures practical training that is not being conducted in accordance with the standard. In addition to this, joint CRM training is not being conducted with flight attendants. It was also noted that some training programs were lacking the training examinations that are to be used to confirm that the candidate has grasped the required training.
FO – 8 Flight Crew Training Records *
The training records of 19 pilots were reviewed and a number of errors and omissions were noted. In one case, Acme Aero was requested to provide documentation indicating that the annual technical ground training for three HS74 flight crew had in fact been completed. The company was unable to do so. Further to this, company senior management were unaware that training had not been completed and that extensions had been granted by the TC Regional office. The reason for this was that the extensions had not been placed in the appropriate training files.
It was also noted that the company does not maintain a record of all required training elements where those elements are imbedded in other training programs (ex., CRM, HAI and MEL training are part of the annual ground training program and therefore not identified individually in the training records).
