ESTABLISHING A CENTRALIZED ATO ORGANIZATION FOR GLIDER PILOTS TRAINING

Abstract

This paper deals with the incorporation of the Centralized Approved Training Organization into the structure of flight training facilities in the Czech Republic. The work summarizes all requirements for the training organizations after a release of new regulations. The most significant changes in the requirements relate to a glider pilot training and therefore this work is focused on this particular topic. In the first part of the work we wanted to recap all the requirements and compare them with the original legislation to emphasize the changes. Then, it is discussed about a newly established flight training organization which is an Approved Training Organization or an ATO. In the third chapter, we deal with the specific requirements which must an operator complies when applying for the issuance of the ATO certificate. At the conclusion of the work we deal with the realization of the establishment of a centralized ATO for the glider pilot training. This proposal gives an example how the centralized ATO could solve the problem with a cooperation with other aero clubs as supplier organizations.
