4Conduct post-flight discussion | 4.1 Process, rationale and benefits of post-flight discussion are explained to trainee/s 4.2 Trainee/s are encouraged to lead discussion including evaluation of their own performance and quality of self-assessment 4.3 Assistance in recalling the sequence of events is provided as required 4.4 Flight events, actions and results of decisions are identified, analysed and feedback is provided to trainee/s 4.5 Trainee/s are encouraged to examine whether alternative actions may have resulted in better outcomes 4.6 Constructive feedback and reinforcement is provided to trainee/s |
5Review delivery of scenario based flight training | 5.1 Training delivery is assessed against program goals, session plans and training outcomes 5.2 Delivery and effectiveness of training session is discussed with appropriate personnel 5.3 Adjustment of scenarios and delivery are incorporated as appropriate to improve learning outcomes |
