The safety is integral part of all activities in aviation. The safety is described by an International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO in ICAO Doc 9859. The Aviation Safety is described as follows.
Safety is the state in which the possibility of harm to persons or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management.
Acceptable level of safety performance (ALoSP) is the level of safety performance agreed by authorities to be achieved for the civil aviation system in a State, as defined in its State Safety Programme, expressed in terms of safety performance targets and safety performance indicators.
Part-FCL is the main piece of European aviation legislation. It is implements the rules established by Ec 216/2008.
The long name of Part FCL is Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 of 3 November 2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The Part FCL establishes the requirements and standards for the issue of pilot licences and associated ratings such as instrument rating, aerobatic rating, etc and certificates such as instructor certificates or examiner certificates and the conditions of their validity and use.

EASA publishes consolidated publication of Part FCL including all AMCs and GMs on their website:
Aviation is the safest form of long distance transport. Safety is the highest priority of all involved in aviation. The shared goal is for every flight to take-off and land safely. Safety measures, regulatory requirements and minimum standards are making the aviation the safest possible way of transport.
Currently, the fatal accident rate is approximately 0.28 per 1 million flights. One fatal accident happens for every 4,2 million flights.
Statistically in the 2018 the fatality risk was 0.17. It means that on average, a person would have to travel by air every day for 16,581 years to experience a 100% fatal accident.
To understand the meaning of TKI abbreviation, we have to take into the consideration the context. Nevertheless the TKI abbreviation is associated with Theoretical knowledge.
TKI may stand for Theoretical Knowledge Instructor – as a person providing the theoretical knowledge.
TKI may also stand for Theoretical Knowledge Instruction – as a process of teaching the theoretical knowledge.
UPRT stands for Upset Prevention and Recovery Training. The training has been introduced as a follow up of AF447 accident. Its purpose is to enhance hand flying skills and situational awareness of pilots during the upsets. UPRT is integral part of the basic flight trainings. Before attending first multi-pilot type rating, pilot must undertake so-called Advanced UPRT training specifically focused on recovery from various upsets.
UPRT training and upset recovery checking is a part of the type rating trainings and checkings.
ATO stands for Approved Training Organisation. It is an abbreviation established by Ec 1178/2011. It is a type of an EASA flight school with comprehensive management system and internal procedures. If you are about to undertake the Professional pilot training or any type rating training, you will need an Approved Training Organisation to do it.
DTO stands for Declared Training Organisation. It is an abbreviation coming from Ec 1178/2011. The declared training organization an EASA flight school with very basic management system. DTOs can provide the trainings towards the leisure pilots only – such as PPL, LAPL, single-engine. Most of the aero clubs providing the pilot training are DTOs.
There are many differences between the ATO (Approved Training Organisation) and DTO (Declared Training Organisation). For you as an applicant seeking for a pilot training, the main difference is the scope of the trainings capable to be provided by any of these.
DTO can provide the pilot trainings towards the leisure pilot licences and ratings only. This includes trainings such as PPL or LAPL levels. Whilst the ATO is allowed to provide both – the leisure pilot training and professional pilot training.
From the inside, the main difference is the complexity of the management systems. DTOs having very simple management system, while the ATOs are required to establish and maintain complex and robust management systems.
EASA stands for European Aviation Safety Agency. The agency is providing safety oversight over the air operations in the so-called EASA airspace. It carries out certification, regulation and standardisation and also performs investigation and monitoring. It collects and analyses safety data, drafts and advises on safety legislation and co-ordinates with similar organisations in other parts of the world.
