3. Overview
The need for remedial training
Remedial training process

4. Objectives Describe instances that require remedial training
Given scenarios and using established procedures, devise a remedial training curriculum

5. Goal of Remedial Training
To gain future compliance with FAA regulations through training…to enhance safety in the National Airspace System
To correct safety issues that underlie deviations from standards as effectively, quickly, and efficiently as possible, to return an individual or entity to full compliance and to prevent recurrence

6. Applicability
RT applies to individual airman excluding those who were:
Using their certificate in operations conducted under 14 CFR part 91 subpart K (part 91K), 121, 129, or 135
Covered by an approved training program at the time of the deviation, with some exceptions

7. FPM’s Role in Planning and Managing RT
Identify and develop appropriate training curriculum based on input from the investigating ASI
Communicate the details of the proposed RT with the airman
Monitor progress through completion

8. Remedial Training Process
Initial offer, notification & assignment
Confirm eligibility
Curriculum development & agreement
Monitoring & closeout

9. Phase 1: Initial Offer, Notifications and Assignment
May involve the:
Investigating ASI
ASI’s Office Manager
Airman’s Office Manager
Regional management team and/or the SPFS

10. Phase 1 Roles The investigating ASI:
Considers the facts of the case
Recommends that an airman may be eligible
Makes an initial offer to the airman
Notifies his/her Office Manager and the airman’s Office Manager, if applicable
The Office Manager assigns the RT to an FPM

11. RT Initial Offer (ASI) If… Then…
The ASI determines an airman to be eligible based on:
General applicability/eligibility
Facts and circumstances of the case
Airman’s observable behaviors
Airman’s record
The ASI makes an initial informal offer of RT either verbally or by
The airman responds and agrees within 10 days
The ASI notifies his/her Office Manager
The airman does not respond within 10 days
The ASI will consider the airman ineligible for RT

12. Notify the Office Manager (ASI)
Airman contact information
Copy of the signed RT offer
Summary of facts of the case
Recommended number of knowledge and/or practical hours of training
Recommended topics to be covered
Estimated date of completion
Investigating ASI’s *749 additional training PTRS record ID number

13. Assign the RT to an FPM (Office Manager)
The Office Manager assigns an FPM to contact the airman and begin the RT process
If no FPM is available, the case may be assigned to Safety Promotion Field Services (SPFS)

14. Phase 2: Confirm Eligibility
Review and verify the ASI’s root cause analysis
Review all related documentation
Discuss questions or concerns with the investigating ASI and your Office Manager
Reserve your final determination of eligibility until you meet with the airman

15. Phase 3: Develop Curriculum and Agreement
This phase involves:
Coordinating with the investigating ASI
Determining available resources
Developing the curriculum
Determining the time to completion
Developing the RT agreement
Scheduling and conducting the initial meeting with the airman

16. Coordinate the RT Needs with the ASI
Discuss the appropriate resource(s) for conducting the training
Share your ideas about what the RT components should be
Plan time for the ASI to review the curriculum before you finalize

17. Determine Available Resources
FAASafety.gov courses
Other online training from respected sources (e.g., AOPA, EAA, etc.)
Local training at a Part 141 or Part 147 school
Available training from a DPE, CFI or DME
FAASTeam REP
Another qualified individual, such as one experienced with the aircraft type involved

18. Develop the RT Agreement
Proposed/required training source(s)
Training objective
Completion date of no more than 30 days
Waiver or right regarding the stale complaint rule
Clear training syllabus
Documents that will prove verification of completion

19. Develop the RT Agreement, cont.
Statement regarding the airman’s responsibility for costs
Statement that the airman is not to conduct operations in the area identified in the RT

20. RT Curriculum
WINGS and/or AMT accredited seminars and FAASafety.gov courses should be used to fulfill training requirements when appropriate
Training types and time requirements should be the minimum required to correct the underlying behavior that caused the deviation

21. RT Agreement and Curriculum Example

22. Runway Incursions
RT must include the Runway Incursion Remedial Training Program (RIRTP), available at
Use interdependence and critical thinking to evaluate the facts and assign modules that will fix the problem
Additional topics may be included

23. Runway Incursions, cont.
An authorized flight or ground instructor – preferably a REP – must give the training
The instructor will evaluate the airman’s knowledge and proficiency
A flight simulation training device may be used when appropriate

24. Category A or B Runway Incursions
Flight training must be included in the RT
Taxi procedures, landing procedures, takeoff procedures and ATC communications
A CFI who is a current DPE or a former ASI must conduct the flight and ground training
Coordinate with the Regional Runway Safety Group office

25. Determine Training Completion Time
Completion times will vary depending on the syllabus
Completion dates will reflect
Airman and training provider availability
Weather
Availability of aircraft (if needed)

26. Training Completion Time, cont.
The syllabus should require no more than 21 days for completion
If an airman needs more than 21 days, it could indicate a lack of qualification
The completion date can be extended for urgent extenuating circumstances
Coordinate with the investigating ASI
Extensions should not exceed 6 months

27. Schedule/Conduct Initial Meeting
Should be in person
Provide the training timeline and an explanation of the process for not completing on time
Explain that the airman will bear all expenses incurred
Describe the course of training, objectives and recommended provider

28. Schedule/Conduct Initial Meeting, cont.
Before finalizing, ask for the airman’s input
Discuss the human factors of the event to determine if the RT should complete other educational actions
Discuss the top 10 GA accident causes

29. Discussion
What are the top 10 causes of GA accidents?

30. Schedule/Conduct Initial Meeting, cont.
Be sure the airman is familiar with FAASafety.gov
Registration
Training available
Setting preferences to receive notifications
WINGS and/or AMT

31. Schedule/Conduct Initial Meeting, cont.
Explain that if a lack of qualification is uncovered, the FAA could still require re-examination
Do not discuss the merits of the case
If the airman decides to contest, the RT offer will be rescinded and the ASI will pursue other appropriate action

32. Schedule/Conduct Initial Meeting, cont.
The RT objectives will be satisfied when successful training completion has been documented by the agreed completion date, either on the airman’s record at or by a document endorsed by the RT provider

33. Exercise: Devise an RT Curriculum

34. Phase 4: Monitoring and Closeout
Your responsibilities include:
Monitoring progress and briefing the ASI on the status
Verifying that the airman has either met or failed to meet the RT objectives
Closing out the task in PTRS

35. Monitor Progress
Communicate how you want the airman to report progress to you
Monitoring methods are up to you
Should be timely enough to enable you to determine satisfactory or unsatisfactory progress
If training is not progressing, let the ASI know
Collaborate to determine the reason

36. Verify Airman Met Objectives
Verify completion with the training provider
Verify the RT completion certificate is complete and correct
Talk to the training provider to gain insight about the process
The training provider may identify other areas of concern or additional deficiencies

37. Verify Airman Met Objectives, cont.
Consider other factors
Partial completion, WINGS/AMT participation
Present your recommendation for completion, failure or withdrawal to the ASI and get his/her concurrence
Send a courtesy message to the assigning Office Manager
Keep a copy of documents until you confirm the ASI received the originals

38. Closeout The PTRS comment should explain:
Whether the airman withdrew or was recommended for withdrawal
Each type of training
Training topics and length
Name of the training provider(s) and certificate numbers of certificated providers

39. Closeout, cont. The PTRS comment should explain:
Whether or not the training was completed successfully
