 27-Memorandum of Understanding during training- Please understand that field maintenance and Overhaul courses are normally conducted with scrapped parts or red tagged components. These trainings are carried out on non-airworthy components dedicated for training, using the special tools as called out in the applicable Bell publications. On occasion, our training components are damaged beyond repairable limits during the course that would require replacement if this were to happen on airworthy components or parts. Even though great attention to detail is taken during the courses accidents sometimes do happen. Therefore in order for the AFROCON LLC and its channel partner Instructors to conduct the technical training at your facility, we would need for you to provide components suitable for training. If non-airworthy training components are not available and you choose to use live airworthy components, AFROCON LLC LLC assume no responsibility or liability to repair or replace those parts or components that may be damaged in the course of training. Where live airworthy parts and or components are used for training, you agree to return these parts and or components through a complete overhaul inspection before returning the parts or components to service and issuing a yellow tag. The course will not include the application of paints, sealants, or safety wiring components, nor will it include the preparation of parts for overhaul or NDI inspection. Signing this proposal indicates that you agree to these conditions.
 NOTICE –We encourage the operator (Clients) to have in place an “engineer/mechanic level” as the experience from one engineer/mechanic to another is different and a certificate should not open to an interpretation that now(after certification) everyone can do everything in the helicopter. This training is basic and to be able to increase the engineer/mechanic technical experience, the organization should have in place a classification of how much an engineer/mechanic can do based on their personal OJT. As an example, an organization can have engineer/mechanic 1, engineer/mechanic 2, and so forth. Each level increases the responsibility for repairs. More time working in the helicopter (OJT)  brings a more safe and more productive process in the operation.
