B787-9 OSD CC - EASA Letter of Intent - 0

The document evaluates the Boeing 787-9 aircraft model and compares it to other Boeing models to determine if it is a new type or variant for cabin crew training purposes. It finds that the 787-9 is the same type as the 787-8 but is a variant of the 777 models. For training, level 1 differences training is required when transferring between the 787 models, while level 1 and 2 training is needed when transferring between the 787-9 and 777 models. The information will be included in the final 787-9 operational suitability report for cabin crews.

Boeing 787-9 – Operational Suitability Data – Cabin Crew (CCD)

Pending completion of the EASA operational suitability evaluation in the field of cabin crew
data for the B787-9, this Letter of Intent is issued in order to summarise the intermediate
conclusions of the evaluation.

1. B787-9/B787-8 one aircraft type determination

EASA evaluated the B787-9 aircraft model (as the ”candidate aircraft”) in relation to the
B787-8 model (as the “base” aircraft).
In order to identify and assess any existing differences, in accordance with the Certification
Specifications-Cabin Crew Data (CS-CCD), Subpart B- Determination of a new type and a
variant, the following type specific elements were compared: aircraft configuration, doors
and exits, aircraft systems and normal and emergency operations.
In accordance with CS-CCD.200 - Determination process, B787-9 Aircraft Differences Table
(ADT) was used to support this evaluation.
The evaluation revealed that there are no differences between the B787-9 and the B787-8,
which would render the B787-9 as variant to the B787-8.

B787-9 and B787-8 are confirmed as one aircraft type for cabin crew operation.

2. B787-9 variant determination to the B777 models

EASA also evaluated the B787-9 aircraft model in relation to the following B777 models:
B777-200; B777-200ER; B777-200 LR; B777-300; B777-300ER.
B787-9 Aircraft Differences Tables (ADTs) addressing the comparisons between the B787-9
and each of the B777 models were used to support the evaluation of the following type
specific elements: aircraft configuration, doors and exits, aircraft systems and normal and
emergency operations.
Similar to the conclusions regarding the B787-8, contained by the “B787-8 EASA Operational
Evaluation Board Report- Cabin Crew (available on the EASA website), the evaluation of the

B787-9 model revealed that the existing differences between the compared aircraft render
the B787-9 as a variant to the B777 models.

B787-9 is confirmed as a variant to the B777-200; B777-200ER; B777-200 LR; B777-300;


B777-300ER.

3. B787-9 Cabin Crew training

B787-9 vs B787-8
For cabin crew training purposes, at the operator level, when transferring from the B787-8
to the B787-9 and vice-versa, Level 1 Differences Training (see Definitions) would be
required for the following type specific elements, in order to ensure cabin crew proficiency
during operation:
• Longer fuselage, accommodating increased maximum certified seating
capacity;
• External LED light installed aft of each passenger door, to illuminate base of
slide.

B787-9 vs B777 models

For cabin crew training purposes, differences training would be required at the operator
level when transferring from the B777 to the B787-9 and vice-versa, in order to ensure cabin
crew proficiency during operation (e.g. ORO.CC.130).
Level 1 and Level 2 Differences Training would apply for the type specific elements
identified as different in the respective ADTs.

If an operator commences operation of the B787-9 without already operating any of the
B777 models assessed, or commences operation of any of the B777 models without already
operating the B787-9, the aircraft is a new type to the operator and aircraft type specific
and operator conversion training would be required in order to ensure cabin crew
proficiency during operation (e.g. ORO.CC. 125).

Information contained by this Letter of Intent will become part of the B787-9 Operational
Suitability – Cabin Crew Data, which, once completed, will supersede this Letter of Intent.

Sincerely,

Luana Herescu

Applicable Definitions:
Base aircraft means an aircraft used as a reference to compare differences with another
aircraft.

Candidate aircraft means an aircraft subject to the evaluation process.


New type means an aircraft different from the base aircraft requiring completion of aircraft
type specific training.
Variant means an aircraft that has differences to the base aircraft requiring completion of
differences training.
Training Levels means levels of complexity of cabin crew training associated to the
differences identified between a “base” and a “candidate” aircraft, and recommended in
order to ensure cabin crew proficiency during operation of aircraft types and variants (see
Difference Levels for Training and Checking of the EASA OEB Handbook, Part lll- Procedures
Document for Cabin Crew Subgroup)
The Training Levels are described as follows:
Level 1: Applicable to aircraft with differences that can be adequately addressed
through self-instruction. Level 1 training represents a knowledge requirement such
that, once appropriate information is provided, understanding and compliance can
be assumed to take place. Compliance with Level 1 training is typically achieved by
methods such as issuance of operating manual page revisions, dissemination of cabin
crew operating bulletins or differences hand-outs to describe minor differences
between aircraft.

Level 2: Applicable to aircraft with systems or procedural differences that can be


adequately addressed through aided instruction. At Level 2, aided instruction is
appropriate to ensure crew understanding, emphasise issues, provide a standardised
method of presentation of material, or to aid retention of material following
training. Level 2 aided instruction typically employs such means as slide/tape
presentations, computer based training (CBT), stand-up lectures or videotapes.

Level 3: Applicable to aircraft with differences that can only be addressed through
use of devices capable of system training (i.e. hands-on training) Training devices
are required to supplement instruction to ensure attainment or retention of crew
skills and abilities to accomplish the more complex tasks, usually related to operation
of particular aircraft systems. Typical training devices for Level 3 would include
emergency evacuation procedures trainers, fire and smoke trainers, cabin crew
panel trainers etc. When dedicated trainers are not available, Level 3 would require
hands-on training using the aircraft.

Level 4: Applicable to aircraft with differences that can only be addressed through
completion of aircraft type specific training, thus constituting a new aircraft type for
cabin crew operation. Level 4 would always require hands-on training utilising either
appropriate emergency evacuations procedures trainers or the aircraft and
appropriate aided instruction.
