This Order establishes Safety Oversight Circulars (SOC) as a method
to provide guidance material to the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) for complying with Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), Aviation Safety (AVS), and Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service
(AOV) directives.

This notice announces the availability of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 142-1,
Standardized Curricula Delivered by Part 142 Training Centers. The AC introduces the
standardized curriculum concept for training provided by part 142 training centers and describes
the associated benefits of this voluntary approach. This AC provides guidance to part 142
training centers on how to obtain approval to deliver a standardized curriculum to part 135
operators, including guidance on how a part 142 training center may qualify its personnel as
instructors and check pilots under part 135. This AC also provides guidance on how a part 135
operator may obtain approval to use a standardized curriculum as part of its training program.
Voluntary use of standardized curricula for part 135 training promotes safety and increases
administrative efficiency for industry. Based on these benefits, the FAA believes that most part
135 training provided by part 142 training centers will occur through standardized curricula after
implementation
