GM Guidance material

## GM1 ORO.FC.005 Scope

The term ‘qualification’ used in the introductory sentence of point ORO.FC.005 should be understood as referring not only to the initial qualification of a [flight crew member](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/flight-crew-member), but also to its maintenance and/or revalidation/renewal (requalification).

Whenever the Regulation calls on the operator to establish training for the qualification of flight crew, this should be understood as including requalification.
