Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan an operational flight management training scenario
- Typical commercial or military flight operation conditions including normal and abnormal operations are identified
- Training scenarios that require management of planned and unplanned in flight situations are designed including simulated abnormal and emergency operations
- Training scenarios that involve knowledge based solutions and flight management activities that assess and resolve less defined events are designed
- Sufficient time frames and realistic workloads are allocated in the scenario design to enable trainee/s to meet objectives without being overloaded
- A realistic scenario plan is developed with sufficient detail to ensure learning outcomes can be achieved without improvisation when airborne
- Learning activities are designed that ensure components of competency are emphasised and reinforced
- Prepare trainee/s for scenario based flight training
- Trainee/s existing level of subject matter knowledge is identified and gaps in knowledge are rectified if required
- Scenario based session plan is discussed with trainee/s
- Objectives and outcomes of session plan are explained to trainee/s
- Application and context of session is explained and confirmed to trainee/s
- Trainee/s role with regard to command status, decision implementation and trainer assumption of control are confirmed
- Scenario based learning including multiple solutions to problems and that the session is not formally assessed is explained and confirmed to trainee/s
- Deliver training
- Presentation and delivery methods are adjusted to cater for trainee/s characteristics and to meet learning outcomes
- Trainee/s responsibility for planning and conduct of the flight is explained
- An environment that simulates a typical air transport or military air operation is established as applicable
- Components of competency are emphasised and reinforced during presentation of training sessions
- Flight scenarios are logically sequenced with clear transition and linking of events that provides variety, encourages participation and reinforces competencies
- Verbal feedback and motivation is provided to assist trainee/s in achieving session outcomes
- Trainer intervention and assumption of control is applied when necessary to ensure safety of flight
- Situational awareness is maintained to ensure situations that might jeopardise safety are not allowed to develop
- A detailed record of flight events is maintained
- Training sessions are reviewed and modified as required to meet trainee/s needs
- Conduct post-flight discussion
- Process, rationale and benefits of post-flight discussion are explained to trainee/s
- Trainee/s are encouraged to lead discussion including evaluation of their own performance and quality of self-assessment
- Assistance in recalling the sequence of events is provided as required
- Flight events, actions and results of decisions are identified, analysed and feedback is provided to trainee/s
- Trainee/s are encouraged to examine whether alternative actions may have resulted in better outcomes
- Constructive feedback and reinforcement is provided to trainee/s
- Review delivery of scenario based flight training
