(1) A basis for quality should be established by every ATO and problem-solving
techniques to run processes should be applied. Knowledge in how to measure,
establish and ultimately achieve quality in training and education is considered to
be essential.
(2) The purpose of this Guidance material is to provide information and guidance to
the ATO on how to establish a Quality System that enables compliance with 3.1.2.2
(c).
(3) In order to show compliance with 3.1.2.2 (c) an ATO should establish its Quality
System in accordance with the instructions and information contained in the
succeeding paragraphs.
(b) The Quality system of the ATO
(1) Terminology
(i) Quality. The totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that
bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs.
(ii) Quality Assurance. All those planned and systematic actions necessary to
provide adequate confidence that all training activities satisfy given
requirements, including the ones specified by the ATO in relevant manuals.
(iii) Quality Manual. The document containing the relevant information pertaining
to the ATO’s quality system and quality assurance program.
(iv) Quality audit. A systematic and independent examination to determine whether
quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and
whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to
achieve objectives.
(2) Quality Policy and Strategy
(i) It is of vital importance that the ATO describes how the organization formulates,
deploys, reviews its policy and strategy and turns it into plans and actions. A
formal written Quality Policy Statement should be established that is a
commitment by the Head of Training, as to what the Quality System is intended
to achieve. The Quality Policy should reflect the achievement and continued
compliance with relevant parts of Part 2 and 3 together with any additional
standards specified by the ATO.
(ii) The Accountable Manager will have overall responsibility for the Quality
System including the frequency, format and structure of the internal
management evaluation activities.
(3) Purpose of a Quality System: The implementation and employment of a Quality
System will enable the ATO to monitor compliance with relevant parts of Part 2 and
3, the Procedures Manual and the Training Manual, and any other standards as
established by the ATO, or the Authority, to ensure safe and efficient training.
(4) Quality Manager
(i) The primary role of the Quality Manager is to verify, by monitoring activities in
the field of training, that the standards required by the Authority, and any
additional requirements as established by the ATO are being carried out
properly under the supervision of the Head of Training, Chief Flight Instructor
and Chief Ground Instructor.
(ii) The Quality Manager should be responsible for ensuring that the Quality
Assurance Program is properly implemented, maintained and continuously

IS-3
PCAR PART 3
reviewed and improved. The Quality Manager should: - have direct access to
the Head of Training; - have access to all parts of the ATO’s organization.
(iii) In the case of small or very small ATO’s, the posts of the Head of Training and
the Quality Manager may be combined. However, in this event, quality audits
should be conducted by independent personnel.
(5) Quality System
(i) The Quality System of the ATO should ensure compliance with and adequacy
of training activities conducted.
(ii) The ATO should specify the basic structure of the Quality System applicable to
all training activities conducted.
(iii) The Quality System should be structured according to the size of the ATO and
the complexity of the training to be monitored.
(6) Scope: A quality System should address the following:
(i) Leadership
(ii) Policy and Strategy
(iii) Processes
(iv) The provisions of Parts 2 and 3
(v) Additional standards and training procedures as stated by the ATO
(vi) The organizational structure of the ATO
(vii) Responsibility for the development, establishment and management of the
Quality System
(viii) Documentation, including manuals, reports and records
(ix) Quality Assurance Program
(x) The required financial, material and human resources
(xi) Training requirements
(xii) Customer satisfaction
(7) Feedback System: The quality system should include a feedback system to ensure
that corrective actions are both identified and promptly addressed. The feedback
system should also specify who is required to rectify discrepancies and non -
compliance in each particular case, and the procedure to be followed if corrective
action is not completed within an appropriate timescale.
(8) Documentation: Relevant documentation includes the relevant part(s) of the
Training and Procedures Manual, which may be included in a separate Quality
Manual.

(B) Audit procedures
(C) Reporting procedures
(D) Follow-up and corrective action procedures
(E) Recording System
(F) The training syllabus
(G) Document control
(9) Quality Assurance Program: The Quality Assurance Program should include all
planned and systematic actions necessary to provide confidence that all training
are conducted in accordance with all applicable requirements, standards and
procedures.
(10) Quality Inspection
(i) The primary purpose of a quality inspection is to observe a particular
event/action/document etc., in order to verify whether established training
procedures and requirements are followed during the accomplishment of that
event and whether the required standard is achieved.
(ii) Typical subject areas for quality inspections are:
(A) Actual flight and ground training
(B) Maintenance
(C) Technical Standards
(D) Training Standards
(11) Audit
(i) An audit is a systematic, and independent comparison of the way in which a
training is being conducted against the way in which the published training
procedures say it should be conducted.
(ii) Audits should include at least the following quality procedures and processes:
(A) An explanation of the scope of the audit
(B) Planning and preparation
(C) Gathering and recording evidence
(D) Analysis of the evidence
(iii) The various techniques that make up an effective audit are:
(A) Interviews or discussions with personnel
(B) A review of published documents
(C) The examination of an adequate sample of records
(D) The witnessing of the activities which make up the training
(E) The preservation of documents and the recording of observations
(12) Auditors

IS-5
PCAR PART 3
(i) The ATO should decide, depending on the complexity of the training, whether
to make use of a dedicated audit team or a single auditor. In any event, the
auditor or audit team should have relevant training and/or operational
experience.
(ii) The responsibilities of the auditors should be clearly defined in the relevant
documentation.
(13) Auditor’s Independence
(i) Auditors should not have any day-to-day involvement in the area of the
operation or maintenance activity which is to be audited. An ATO may, in
addition to using the services of full-time dedicated personnel belonging to a
separate quality department, undertake the monitoring of specific areas or
activities by the use of part-time auditors.
(ii) An ATO whose structure and size does not justify the establishment of full-time
auditors, may undertake the audit function by the use of part-time personnel
from within its own organization or from an external source under the terms of
an agreement acceptable to the Authority.
(iii) In all cases the ATO should develop suitable procedures to ensure that persons
directly responsible for the activities to be audited are not selected as part of
the auditing team. Where external auditors are used, it is essential that any
external specialist is familiar with the type of training conducted by the ATO.
(iv) The Quality Assurance Program of the ATO should identify the persons within
the company who have the experience, responsibility and Authority to:
(A) Perform quality inspections and audits as part of ongoing Quality
Assurance
(B) Identify and record any concerns or findings, and the evidence necessary
to substantiate such concerns or findings
(C) Initiate or recommend solutions to concerns or findings through designated
reporting channels
(D) Verify the implementation of solutions within specific timescales
(E) Report directly to the Quality Manager
(14) Audit Scope: ATOs are required to monitor compliance with the Training and
Procedures Manuals they have designed to ensure safe and efficient training. In
doing so they should as a minimum, and where appropriate, monitor:
(i) Organization
(ii) Plans and objectives
(iii) Training Procedures
(iv) Flight Safety
(v) Manuals, Logs and Records
(vi) Flight and Duty Time limitations
(vii) Rest requirements and scheduling
(viii) Aircraft Maintenance/Operations interface
(ix) Maintenance programs and continued airworthiness
(x) Maintenance accomplishment

IS-6
PCAR PART 3
(15) Audit Scheduling

(i) A Quality Assurance Program should include a defined audit schedule and a
periodic review cycle. The schedule should be flexible, and allow unscheduled
audits when trends are identified. Follow-up audits should be scheduled when
necessary to verify that corrective action was carried out and that it was
effective.
(ii) An ATO should establish a schedule of audits to be completed during a specific
calendar period. All aspects of the training should be reviewed within a period
of 12 months in accordance with the program unless an extension to the audit
period is accepted as explained below.
(iii) An ATO may increase the frequency of their audits at their discretion but should
not decrease the frequency without the acceptance of the Authority. It is
considered unlikely that a period of greater than 24 months would be
acceptable for any audit topic.
(iv) When an ATO defines the audit schedule, significant changes to the
management, organization, training, or technologies should be considered, as
well as changes to the regulatory requirements.
(16) Monitoring and corrective action
(i) The aim of monitoring within the Quality System is primarily to investigate and
judge its effectiveness and thereby to ensure that defined policy, training
standards are continuously complied with. Monitoring activity is based upon
quality inspections, audits, corrective action and follow-up. The ATO should
establish and publish a quality procedure to monitor regulatory compliance on
a continuing basis. This monitoring activity should be aimed at eliminating the
causes of unsatisfactory performance.
(ii) Any non-compliance identified should be communicated to the manager
responsible for taking corrective action or, if appropriate, the Accountable
Manager. Such non-compliance should be recorded, for the purpose of further
investigation, in order to determine the cause and to enable the
recommendation of appropriate corrective action.
(iii) The Quality Assurance Program should include procedures to ensure that
corrective actions are developed in response to findings. These quality
procedures should monitor such actions to verify their effectiveness and that
they have been completed. Organizational responsibility and accountability for
the implementation of corrective action resides with the department cited in the
report identifying the finding. The Accountable Manager will have the ultimate
responsibility for ensuring, through the Quality Manager(s), that corrective
action has re-established compliance with the standard required by the
Authority and any additional requirements established by the ATO.
(17) Corrective action
(i) Subsequent to the quality inspection/audit, the ATO should establish:
(A) The seriousness of any findings and any need for immediate corrective
action
(B) The origin of the finding
(C) What corrective actions are required to ensure that the non-compliance
does not recur
(D) A schedule for corrective action

IS-7
PCAR PART 3
(E) The identification of individuals or departments responsible for

implementing corrective action
(F) Allocation of resources by the Accountable Manager, where appropriate
(ii) The Quality Manager should:
(A) Verify that corrective action is taken by the manager responsible in
response to any finding of non-compliance
(B) Verify that corrective action includes the elements outlined in paragraph
(16) above
(C) Monitor the implementation and completion of corrective action
(D) Provide management with an independent assessment of corrective action,
implementation and completion
(E) Evaluate the effectiveness of corrective action through the follow-up
process
(18) Management Evaluation
(i) A management evaluation is a comprehensive, systematic documented review
by the management of the quality system, training policies, and procedures,
and should consider: The results of quality inspections, audits and any other
indicators; as well as the overall effectiveness of the management organization
in achieving stated objectives. A management evaluation should identify and
correct trends, and prevent, where possible, future non-conformities.
Conclusions and recommendations made as a result of an evaluation should
be submitted in writing to the responsible manager for action. The responsible
manager should be an individual who has the Authority to resolve issues and
take action. The Accountable Manager should decide upon the frequency,
format, and structure of internal management evaluation activities.
(19) Recording
(i) Accurate, complete and readily accessible records documenting the result of
the Quality Assurance Program should be maintained by the ATO. Records are
essential data to enable an ATO to analyze and determine the root causes of
non-conformity, so that areas of non-compliance can be identified and
subsequently addressed.
(ii) The following records should be retained for a period of 5 years:
(A) Audit schedules
(B) Quality inspection and audit reports
(C) Responses to findings
(D) Corrective action reports
(E) Follow-up and closure reports
(F) Management evaluation reports
(20) Quality Assurance Responsibility for Satellite ATOs
(i) An ATO may decide to sub-contract out in accordance with Subpart 3.1.2.10,
certain activities to external organizations subject to the approval of the
Authority.
(ii) The ultimate responsibility for the training provided by the satellite ATO always
remains with the ATO. A written agreement should exist between the ATO and

IS-8
PCAR PART 3
the satellite ATO clearly defining the safety related services and quality to be
provided. The satellite ATO’s safety related activities relevant to the agreement
should be included in the ATO’s Quality Assurance Program.
(iii) The ATO should ensure that the satellite ATO has the necessary
authorization/approval when required, and commands the resources and
competence to undertake the task. If the ATO requires the satellite ATO to
conduct activity which exceeds the satellite ATO’s authorization/approval, the
ATO is responsible for ensuring that the satellite ATO’s quality assurance takes
account of such additional requirements.
(21) Quality System Training
(i) Correct and thorough training is essential to optimize quality in every
organization. In order to achieve significant outcomes of such training the ATO
should ensure that all staff understand the objectives as laid down in the Quality
Manual.
(ii) Those responsible for managing the Quality System should receive training
covering:
(A) An introduction to the concept of Quality System
(B) Quality management
(C) Concept of Quality Assurance
(D) Quality manuals
(E) Audit techniques
(F) Reporting and recording
(G) The way in which the Quality System will function in the ATO
(iii) Time should be provided to train every individual involved in quality
management and for briefing the remainder of the employees. The allocation
of time and resources should be governed by the size and complexity of the
operation concerned.
(22) Sources of Training:
Quality management courses are available from the various National or
International Standards Institutions, and an ATO should consider whether to offer
such courses to those likely to be involved in the management of Quality Systems.
Organizations with sufficient appropriately qualified staff should consider whether
to carry out in-house training.
(23) Quality Systems for small/very small Organizations
(i) The requirement to establish and document a Quality System and to employ a
Quality Manager applies to all ATOs.
(ii) Complex quality systems could be inappropriate for small or very small ATOs
and the clerical effort required to draw up manuals and quality procedures for
a complex system may stretch their resources. It is therefore accepted that
such ATOs should tailor their quality systems to suit the size and complexity of
their training and allocate resources accordingly.
(iii) For small and very small ATOs it may be appropriate to develop a Quality
Assurance Program that employs a checklist. The checklist should have a
supporting schedule that requires completion of all checklist items within a
specified timescale, together with a statement acknowledging completion of a

IS-9
PCAR PART 3
periodic review by top management. An occasional independent overview of

the checklist content and achievement of the Quality Assurance should be
undertaken.
(iv) The small ATO may decide to use internal or external auditors or a combination
of the two. In these circumstances it would be acceptable for external
specialists and or qualified organizations to perform the quality audits on behalf
of the Quality Manger.
(v) If the independent quality audit function is being conducted by external
auditors, the audit schedule should be shown in the relevant documentation.
(vi) Whatever arrangements are made, the main ATO retains the ultimate
responsibility for the quality system and especially the completion and flowing.
