ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1.3

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

1.4

Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented

1.5

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

1.6

Availability and suitability of flight training resources is confirmed

1.7

Environmental conditions suitable for conducting flight training are determined

3.5

Trainee is directed through task performance using appropriate levels of information, explanation and feedback consistent with trainee progress

3.6

Trainee is monitored through task performance using appropriate levels of information, explanation and feedback consistent with trainee progress

3.7

Segmented tasks are integrated progressively in accordance with established workplace procedures

3.8

Interventions are made as required to assist trainee progress or to maintain flight safety

3.9

Trainee is provided with sufficient opportunity to practise techniques through assisted and unassisted practice sequences

3.10

Trainee cognitive load is assessed, monitored and managed throughout training sequences

4

Manage trainee performance

4.1
