## ORA.ATO.330 General

(a) Approval for zero flight-time training (ZFTT), as specified in Part-FCL, shall only be given to ATOs that also have the privileges to conduct [commercial air transport](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/commercial-air-transport) operations or ATOs having specific arrangements with commercial air transport operators.
