Elements and Performance Criteria
- Apply knowledge of competency-based multi-crew operations training
- Core philosophy of competency-based training is explained
- Aviation training and assessment that is characterised by an emphasis on performance measured against identified competencies is conducted
- Trainee is assessed on the basis of meeting prescribed competency standards
- Competencies required by crew to operate effectively in a multi-crew operation are stated
- Prepare to deliver training
- Administrative tasks are completed in accordance with training organisation’s requirements
- Training plan is prepared or provided that identifies each performance criteria required to achieve the standard specified for the issue of an endorsement
- Trainee performance record is prepared or provided for recording trainee performance against all performance criteria and assessment requirements associated with the competency standard
- Assessment guide is prepared or provided to assist with assessing trainee performance
- Achievement record is prepared or provided to record the date a trainee is signed off as competent in a competency
- Personal preparation to deliver training session as scheduled is completed
- All supplied training material is checked for completeness and currency, and availability and serviceability of all equipment/classroom/simulator used to deliver training session is confirmed
- Incomplete and/or out-of-date supplied training material is replaced with complete and up-to-date training material
- Unavailable or faulty training equipment/classroom/simulator is reported as required and replacements are obtained or training is re-scheduled
- Trainee records are reviewed prior to training session to understand their experience level and competency level
- Prepare trainees for training session
- Conduct a multi-crew training session
- Learning process is confirmed as required and applied
- Trainee performance is assessed against performance criteria and assessment requirements associated with the relevant competency standard/s
- Role play by trainees is used to gain insight to cockpit crew roles
- Training sessions are structured to have outcomes that emphasise the importance of working as a highly coordinated team and of applying problem solving to real world scenarios
- Trainee use of all information available from a range of sources to assist with problem solving is ensured
- Non-technical skills rather than flight control skills are emphasised during exercises
- Scenarios are used to discuss how a breakdown in crew coordination may lead to an undesired aircraft state
- Correct use of checklists and the following of standard operating procedures (SOPs) is strictly applied at all times, and a high level of cockpit discipline is maintained through training scenarios
- Situational awareness and the importance of applying the threat and error management (TEM) model is emphasised
- Effects of automation induced complacency are highlighted
- Trainee continual awareness of automation mode and its correct use and limitations is ensured
- Development of a compromised cockpit authority gradient is identified to trainee
- During periods of potential high trainee workload, task distraction, and attention diversion, priority towards aircraft flight path control is emphasised
- Trainees are monitored during session for signs of overload and breakdown in learning environment
- Session structure and pace is matched to trainee skill levels
- Conduct post-session assessment
- Trainee performance against performance criteria and assessment requirements in the session is analysed
- Trainees are debriefed as a crew and then individually as required
- Trainees are debriefed from a macro to micro perspective, giving a general overview of performance then focusing on specific areas requiring attention to improve competence
- Post-session plan of action for trainee to address areas requiring attention is provided
- Debriefs are completed on a positive note highlighting areas of good performance
- Conduct post-session administration
- Trainee performance record is completed in a comprehensive and legible manner, as soon as practicable after session, and before commencement of subsequent training sessions
- Trainee competence in a particular competency is determined
- Achievement record is completed when competence in a particular competency has been achieved
