TRAINING TO PROFICIENCY PHILOSOPHY It is recognized that all pilots do not learn at the same rate and there may be disparities in the experience level and background of pilots entering the same course. Training may be extended beyond planned hours in all phases of ITU and in requalification training, by the TRB, if there is consensus that reasonable progress is being made and there is a likelihood of success.

The Association or the Company may appoint a substitute TRB member(s) in any particular case. When dealing with situations involving individual pilots, the TRB shall be governed by a train to proficiency philosophy. Individual pilots will be dealt with on a case by case basis, without regard to past precedent. If reasonable progress is being made and there is reason to believe the pilot will ultimately be successful, training is usually extended. The overall goal of the TRB is the continuing improvement and quality assurance of the Company’s training program. The TRB shall make its decisions and recommendations based on consensus.
