Part-ORA — Regulation Overview

153 sections · 1,749 audit questions · Implementing Rule, AMC and GM · v2025-09-02

Part-ORA covers organisation requirements for aircrew training — Approved Training Organisations, Aero-Medical Centres and Flight Simulation Training Device operators all sit under this Annex. It’s the largest organisation-side Part in the EASA framework by raw paragraph count, and its AMCs are dense.

Authoring Part-ORA forced an unusual decision per leaf: which subset of ATO / AeMC / FSTD operator each paragraph actually applies to. The checklist treats every paragraph as auditable for every applicable organisation type, with applicability flagged in-line — so an ATO auditor isn’t reading FSTD-only obligations, and vice versa.
