Optional add-on

To become a CRM trainer, EASA requires you to complete a Human Performance and Limitations (HPL) course. If you’re a cabin crew or a pilot without HPL training as part of your ATPL, this course is mandatory.


At NaviMinds, we offer an integrated option—book a CRMT Core course with us and add the HPL course at a discounted rate. Our thorough HPL training meets all EASA requirements and ensures you’re fully prepared.

FAQ

In 2022 EASA updated their policy on what it requires to be a flight crew CRM trainer. NaviMinds naturally complies with all the latest requirements:

“(1) The operator should evaluate the experience and knowledge of the flight crew CRM trainer. The evaluation of the operator should include at least: 

 (i) The operational experience of the flight crew CRM trainer as a flight crew member; 

 (ii) Whether this experience as a flight crew member or a former flight crew member covers the aircraft category, the aircraft generation and the form of operations, as relevant to the operator.” 

 – EASA AMC2.ORO.FC.146 

We ensure these qualifications are met to make it as easy for you as possible to stay compliant. Certified and experienced former or current flight crew members are “lead” trainers on all our CRMT/CRMI courses.
