Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan flight training
- Trainee records are reviewed and appropriate prerequisite training and performance are confirmed
- Training outcomes based on prescribed performance criteria and associated assessment requirements, and required training plans are identified
- Flight training exercise is planned to ensure an effective, efficient and safe outcome and lesson plans, learner materials and study guides are developed as required
- Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
- Potential and actual threats and errors are identified, including those associated with simulation of abnormal or emergency procedures or aircraft mishandling by trainee, and suitable countermeasures are planned
- Availability and suitability of flight training resources is confirmed
- Environmental conditions suitable for conducting flight training are determined
- Conduct pre-flight briefing
- Trainee mental and physical preparation for flight training is confirmed
- Trainee knowledge required for flight exercise is checked
- Trainee is briefed on training objectives, performance criteria and assessment requirements, and actions required during a flight
- Trainee is briefed on how flight will be conducted to meet training objectives
- Threat and error management (TEM) issues applicable to proposed flight are discussed with trainee and trainee responsibility for managing relevant TEM issues (airmanship) is confirmed
- Trainee understanding of training outcomes, knowledge evidence relevant to outcomes, aircraft handling techniques and planned flight sequences is confirmed
- Conduct airborne training
- Aircraft control handover/takeover procedures are explained and implemented
- Instructions and explanations are provided in a clear, concise, systematic and timely manner
- Tasks are introduced in manageable portions while being aware of trainee overload
- Tasks are demonstrated to trainee and performed to specified standards through coordinated control inputs, without abrupt manoeuvring, using accepted handling techniques and appropriate instructional techniques
- Trainee is directed through task performance using appropriate levels of information, explanation and feedback consistent with trainee progress
- Trainee is monitored through task performance using appropriate levels of information, explanation and feedback consistent with trainee progress
- Segmented tasks are integrated progressively in accordance with established workplace procedures
- Interventions are made as required to assist trainee progress or to maintain flight safety
- Trainee is provided with sufficient opportunity to practise techniques through assisted and unassisted practice sequences
- Trainee cognitive load is assessed, monitored and managed throughout training sequences
- Manage trainee performance
- Trainee strengths and development needs are identified to trainee through feedback, and additional instruction and demonstration is provided as required to assist trainee
- Trainee is encouraged to develop self-assessment skills during debriefing sequences
- Training events are noted for recording trainee performance, debriefing and assessment purposes
- Manage the flight
- Responsibilities as pilot in command (PIC) are managed for safe operation of aircraft
- Situational awareness is maintained while providing instruction
- Actual or potential threats and errors are identified and managed
- Intervention to recover aircraft is applied if an undesired aircraft state is not managed by trainee
- Crew resource management (CRM) principles are applied
- Conduct post-flight briefing
- Trainee achievement against training outcome for lesson, and associated performance criteria and assessment requirements is assessed
- Significant details of trainee performance are clearly and accurately described and debriefed
- Deficiencies in trainee performance are identified and remedial actions and training requirements are suggested
- TEM issues encountered during flight are discussed
- Trainee is briefed about details of next training event
- Flight results are recorded and post-flight administration is completed in accordance with workplace procedures
- Relevant staff are informed about trainee performance and results
- Review training
- Training effectiveness is evaluated with relevant stakeholders
- Final session outcomes are evaluated against desired session outcomes
- Review and reflection on instructional performance is conducted
- Adjustments to delivery, presentation and content of training and assessment materials are identified and incorporated as required
