Common use of Other Training Clause in Contracts

Other Training. The following is included for informational purposes only and does not apply to application for the training program. The vacancy announcement system for pilot positions is structured around the premise that the commercial airplane pilot certificate with single-engine and instrument ratings is the basic requirement. In those sectors which operate single-engine fixed wing, multi-engine fixed wing, and single or multi-engine helicopters, or any combination thereof, the basic requirement will be for the commercial airplane pilot certificate with the single-engine land and instrument ratings. This will serve to preclude any service pilot from being locked out of competition simply because operation of more sophisticated aircraft in his present sector is not warranted. Training for the commercial helicopter rating and multi-engine airplane ratings will be conducted on an as-needed basis, based on operational needs of the Service. It is general Service policy to train pilots in helicopters and multi-engine airplanes only in those sectors where such aircraft are operated or scheduled to be operated. Generally, such training will be procured from commercial sources as funding and operational considerations permit. Pilots will be able to compete for positions regardless of the types of aircraft flown in the desired sector, however, the vacancy announcement will contain a training requirement which will necessitate the successful completion of training required to acquire the desired ratings for the equipment flown. Such announcements will also contain a clause which informs the bidder that his failure to successfully complete the required training for ability or academic reasons will be sufficient cause to transfer the selectee to the first available airplane pilot position for which he is qualified. Anyone assigned to a sector which is operating turbine-powered, light observation helicopters will be given adequate turbine helicopter transition training upon completion of training which results in the awarding of a commercial add-on helicopter rating. If the GS-11 Pilot is otherwise satisfactorily performing in the basic requirement, failure to qualify for a commercial helicopter or multi-engine rating during his year as a GS-11 will not adversely impact upon his promotion to GS-12 Pilot. The Pilot Training Program shall not in any manner diminish or impair employee rights under the negotiated Merit Promotion and Reassignment Pilot or the National Collective Bargaining Agreement. The grievance procedure in the agreement will apply to disputes arising from the program. U.S. BORDER PATROL PILOT EVALUATION PROGRAM PART SUBJECT PAGE I. PURPOSE 1 II. SCOPE & RESPONSIBILITY 1
