Upgrade/Transition Training Clause Samples
The Upgrade/Transition Training clause outlines the requirements and procedures for providing training to individuals who are moving to new roles, technologies, or systems within an organization. Typically, this clause specifies the scope of training, the parties responsible for delivering and attending the training, and any timelines or standards that must be met. For example, it may require that employees receive instruction on new software before it is implemented or that pilots complete additional courses when transitioning to a different aircraft model. The core function of this clause is to ensure that personnel are adequately prepared for changes in their duties or tools, thereby minimizing operational disruptions and maintaining safety or compliance standards.

2. A Pilot who fails his oral exam or flight check may request a change in instructor or additional training prior to his retest.

It is understood and agreed that the Company has the right to conduct a line check following any training failure.
