Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1174 of 7 July 2022 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 brings new training requirements for air crew

Regulation (EU) No 2022/1174 establishes new security training standards for flight and cabin crew members implementing in-flight security measures. Allowing for transition period of 6 months, these must be complied with by 1 January 2023.

The training requirements cover already previously defined tasks such as aircraft security search, aircraft protection and some of the elements covered by AMC1 ORO.GEN.110(a) of EASA Air OPS. Brand new elements include the protection of flight deck, handling of persons authorised to carry firearms on board and procedures for the carriage of potentially unruly passengers.
