2 General principles, recommendations and requirements for qualification of officers on Wing-In-Ground (WIG) craft

  .1 Officers on a WIG craft should preferably have a base qualification attained under either the international maritime or aviation qualification systems.

  .2 In addition to the base qualification, officers on a WIG craft should undertake training and have demonstrated appropriate knowledge and skills in accordance with these Recommendations, to the satisfaction of the Administration or a body authorized to act on behalf of the Administration.

  .3 Completion of these requirements should be signified by issue of a special qualification which takes into account the particular features of a WIG craft, in general and specifically the WIG craft models for which the officer is type-rated, together with any geographic limitations on the officer's operation of a WIG craft.

  .4 Where a particular aspect of these Recommendations is not relevant to the WIG craft or operational area for which an officer is certificated, the Administration may waive that aspect provided that details of the waiver are shown on the special qualification issued to the officer.
