DTO.GEN.270
DTO annual internal review
An independent, structured annual internal review for Declared Training Organisations, focused on the DTO’s tasks, responsibilities, procedures, training activity and continued compliance.
What the service covers
Make the annual review more than a checkbox exercise.
The annual internal review required by DTO.GEN.270 is an opportunity to test whether the declared organisation still reflects reality: who does what, which training is being delivered, which resources are used, what changed during the year and whether actions from previous reviews were actually closed.
Leading Edge can conduct or support that review independently and produce a structured record that is easy to understand, evidence and follow up.
Typical scope
A review built around the actual DTO.
The scope is tailored to the DTO’s courses, activity and changes during the review period. Typical areas include:
Training programmes
Check programme status, revisions, delivery, instructor use and whether changes have been captured and controlled.
Resources & records
Review aircraft, FSTDs, facilities, training records and other resources relevant to the courses actually provided.
Changes, occurrences & actions
Consider regulatory and internal changes, safety/compliance signals and the status of previous findings or improvement actions.
How we work
A structured annual cycle.
- Prepare
Collect the current declaration, programmes, manuals or procedures, training activity data and the previous review/action list. - Review
Assess documentation and objective evidence, then sample practice where that adds value. - Report
Record the review scope, evidence, conclusions and any findings or improvement actions in a structured format. - Close the loop
Agree owners and follow-up so the review becomes an input to the next year rather than a static annual document.
