Which role is responsible for IOE training and administering line checks?

• A. Lead Instructor
• B. Safety Officer
• C. Maintenance Chief
• D. Crew Scheduling Manager

Answer: (A)

IOE training and line checks are overseen by the Lead Instructor. This role is responsible for delivering the IOE curriculum and coordinating the on-the-job evaluation that constitutes the line check, ensuring a pilot is ready to operate on the line and signing off once the check is successfully completed. The other roles don’t cover training or check activities: a Safety Officer focuses on safety policy and incident handling, a Maintenance Chief oversees aircraft maintenance and airworthiness, and a Crew Scheduling Manager handles crew rosters and availability. Hence, the Lead Instructor is the position designed to manage IOE training and administer line checks.
