Running Engines
Gents, What procedures does a civilian organisation have to regulate the competencies of those authorised to carry out Engine Ground Runs.
Currently here on the C130’s you are qualified to carry out an EGR if:
1. You hold the Type rating (passing the ‘Q’ course)
2. Then must be passed out after a minimum of 4 High powered EGR’s (with in two months of the course – otherwise you must go back to the school for EGR Sim Checks.)
3. Must record all EGR’s & APU Runs on your personal log
4. Be annually recertified in the Sim before submitting your EGR log for your reassessment of competency
The reason I ask is that we are having a problem with the last two points. I am all for aligning toward the civilian modus operandi and would like to know how things are done & policed on the other side of the fence
