Introduction to the AIRS software

Congratulations on purchasing your AIRS Technologies Online Integrated Pilot Training Package or TCO (Training Course Outline). This manual will help you to integrate your theory training with your flight training requirements. The training manual and the associated online courseware found at www.pilottheory.com are designed to meet all of the Day VFR/Instrument & National Competency Standards syllabus of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA). This manual has been written to assist you in planning your pilot flight/theory training and to prepare you to sit for your CASA theory exams at about the same time as you sit for your final flight test for any given licence. This manual has been clearly laid out on a daily basis showing daily activites as Training Activities or TA’s. Day 1 is shown as TA 1 and so on. Ground Theory Lessons within the TA’s are shown as GT’s with the first being GT 1. These Lessons are found online at www.pilottheory.com Each GT within this manual will recommend that you study each theory lesson either via TCO Mode or Review Mode online. PFB stands for Pre Flight Brief which your Flight Instructor will brief you on prior to your daily flight training exercises. Each PFB gives you an understanding of what exercise you will be required to conduct on each flight. FT stands for Flight Training. You will be required to conduct all of the exercises laid out in the Pre Flight Brief to a required CASA standard. AF stands for After Flight Debrief which your Instructor should give you following each training exercise in the aircraft. The forms between the TA’s are standard CASA Training Assessment forms which your Instructor should fill out following each Flight Training exercise as part of your After Flight Brief. Included in your initial purchase are some tokens to access Online Theory Lessons. We recommend that you enter the online courseware through the TCO Button. This will lead you through the lessons in the order of the Training Activities (TA’s) as shown in this manual.


This manual clearly shows you where each flight training stage begins and ends and covers training for the following licences:

• GFPT • Private Pilot Licence • Commercial Pilot Licence • Command Instrument Rating • Gas Turbine (Theory Only)

So Good Luck with your flight training and always remember that:

Significant cost savings can be achieved through good management of your pilot training!


INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS NEEDED TO BECOME A LICENCED PILOT? A trainee must demonstrate that he/she has attained CASA's minimum stipulated standards relating to flying skill, knowledge, and mental attitude before a pilot licence can be awarded. Examinations

Theoretical knowledge is examined in industry based and CASA written exams. The syllabus for Aeronautical Knowledge Training, upon which the exams are based is detailed in Section 3 of the CASA publication, "Day VFR Syllabus- Aeroplanes". Skills

The manipulative and cognitive skills needed to become a pilot are developed through a course of practical flying training which is based on the "Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplanes. Standardised assessments have been developed by the use of competency based training systems. The associated skills that must be demonstrated by a trainee and how these skills are to be assessed are detailed in the CASA publication, "Australian National Competency Standards for Private and Commercial Pilots". CAR's, CAO's and other CASA publications stipulate the minimum aeronautical experience levels that must be accrued during recognised flying training courses, as well as the exam's, which must be passed to satisfy the qualification requirements so that a licence may be issued. AIRS Technologies Interactive Pilot CD-ROM AIRS Technologies have developed an interactive CD-ROM, which contains the aeronautical knowledge training subject matter in a vibrant, inter-active format.


SYLLABUS Explanation of Terminology. The pilot licence training process involves training in theoretical, practical, manipulative, and cognitive skills. These skills must be developed, and later demonstrated competently by the trainee to an instructor or assessor. How the training is structured and presented will greatly influence the trainee's speed of learning, and more importantly the trainee's rate of retention of the learnt material. AIRS Technologies have developed a syllabus of training to guide the flying training organization through the training process. The syllabus is comprised of a number of sequential Training Activities (TA), each being comprised of several sub-parts called:

a. Ground Training (GT) - the theory material mandated in the " Day VFR Syllabus- Aeroplanes" is presented in selected sections from the AIRS Technologies online theory course found at www.pilottheory.com The trainee studies the material individually at his own pace, in the recommended syllabus sequence. Some Training Activities require more than one Ground Training lesson before the Flying Training Activity is to be commenced.

b. Pre-Flight Briefing (PFB) - prior to each individual flying

training activity the trainee pilot will be presented a PFB by a flying instructor. This PFB introduces "what" is to be covered during the flying lesson, and in particular it describes standard flying techniques and procedures, which will be introduced. The PFB supplements the GT. The PFB tells the trainee what to expect, and describes "how" to do things.

c. Flying Training Exercise (FT) - the flying training exercise

is the airborne skill development activity. The Units and Elements of Competency will be introduced. Most skill development activities require three parts:


(1) Demonstration - the instructor demonstrates "how" to perform a skill, and describes "what" are its parameters for successful completion.

(2) Direction - the instructor directs, (coaches) the trainee as he attempts to perform the new (element/unit of competency) skill.

(3) Monitor - the instructor observes the trainee perform the

skill element, and uses the evidence presented to determine the attainment of competency in that skill. No coaching is offered in this assessment part. After the trainee has presented the evidence necessary to display competency in that element the instructor can then certify the completion standard on the appropriate assessment record. Completion standards are stipulated in the "Day VFR Syllabus- Aeroplane". What makes up the evidence to prove competency is detailed in the publications; "Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplane" and

"Australian National Competency Standards for Private and Commercial Pilots"

(4) After Flight De-briefing (AF) - upon the completion of the

FT activity the instructor critiques the trainee's performance, highlighting elements well done and those needing more practice. The study and preparation activities for the next TA are discussed. Forecasts for timing to sit exams is provided.

Each TA will incorporate more than one competency element being performed and assessed. The instructor however will concentrate on particular elements sequentially (using the syllabus as a guide) so that the learning process is efficient, and retention is optimised.

Competency is expected to be achieved after several exposures to each element. Generally four to five TA's will be needed for the average trainee to display competency in a particular skill element. Scoring and grading of the trainee will be in compliance with the "Definition of Achievement Standards" described in the "Day VFR Syllabus - Aeroplane" publication.


Training Activity Versus Competency Element Grid Explanation An index to the Units and Elements of Competency which will be used throughout this syllabus is contained in the publication Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplanes". The index is also copied on the accompanying annex to this document. Each TA will contain a number of Elements of Competency in various combinations, depending on the flying lesson profile. Progressively throughout the syllabus of training, an assessor (or instructor) must certify that the elements of competency have been conducted and that the trainee has achieved the minimum standard. Certification is done by compiling "Achievement Records", examples of which are contained in the " Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplane".

These certifications must be completed progressively prior to: - First Solo Stage - First Area Solo Stage - GFPT - PPL(A) Stage - CPL(A) Stage

There are 47 unique competencies to be assessed in the PPL programme and another 48 competencies to be assessed in the next stage for the CPL. So that all competencies are assessed, and records properly kept we have designed a grid which highlights those competencies which will be dealt within each FT. The Trainee Record Sheet for each FT will be constructed using the Grid; consequently each FT will have a purpose designed format.


Explanation of Syllabus Structure:

Refer to the two lists of indexes to competency elements for PPL and CPL trainees in the following annex to this document. These lists have been copied from the "Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplane" publication.

The Units of Competency listed for a CPL qualification have similarly named competency elements to those for the PPL, but the scoring of the achievement is higher for the CPL.

Evidence must be provided by the trainee, for assessment of each particular competency element. The evidence will have narrower tolerance boundaries for the CPL element than for the PPL element. For example:

PPL Element 7.3

Turn Aeroplane steeply; The acceptable skill level is achieved if the trainee " Maintains height of +/- 150 ft from datum"

The similar element in the CPL syllabus

CPL Element 20.3 Turn aeroplane steeply; has as the acceptable, and observable, boundaries:

The trainee must " Maintain height of +/- 100 ft from datum"

The increase in the trainee's observable performance can be explained as being the result of his extra airborne experience combining with his increased theoretical knowledge, to produce a skill level of higher competency.

The syllabus for the CPL and Instrument Rating phase has itemised Training Activities sequentially. On occasions, minor deviations to the syllabus sequencing will not greatly influence the overall outcome. However, common sense must be used when making deviations from the suggested syllabus sequence.


The syllabus basically provides several sub-sections. a. Consolidation of VFR Navigation skills in a single-engine aircraft. b. Night circuit operations in a single-engine aircraft. c. Introduction to Instrument Flying practices in a synthetic trainer, (single-engine). d. Consolidation of IF Practices in a single-engine aircraft. e. Introduction to IFR Navigation and Instrument Approach to Land

Procedures (IAL) in a single-engine synthetic trainer. f. Consolidation of IFR Navigation and IAL procedures in a single-

engine aircraft. g. Introduction to multi-engine IFR Operations in a synthetic trainer. h. Consolidation of multi-engine aircraft IFR Operations.

There are two examination blocks, which must be passed prior to the conduct of the flight tests for the CPL and Instrument Rating.

a. CPL Exam, which is soon to be examined in as many as seven

sub-exam topic blocks, b. Instrument Rating Exam-- IREX. The syllabus, which is expanded in the following pages, provides a suggested study programme as well as an exam revision schedule.

INSTRUMENT RATING COMPETENCY ELEMENTS

The "Day VFR Syllabus-Aeroplane" does not include Units or Elements of Competency for the Command Instrument Rating (IR). Consequently, a list of the elements of competency needs to be developed.

The application form for the IR has on the reverse side, listings of evidence required to be presented to the examiner so that a pass or fail assessment can be made. Therefore these may form the list of competency elements needed. Element Description IR 1 Entry and holding pattern correctly flown +/- 100 ft IR 2 Tracking within +/- 5 deg or Half Scale CDI deflection IR 3 Altitude @ minima +100, Minus nil ft IR 4 Ident monitored: audio or Flags, below MSA IR 5 Altitude checked at marker beacon or DME distance IR 6 Descent not below DME steps, or LSALT as appropriate IR 7 Circling approach correctly flown visually IR 8 EFATO handled correctly IR 9 EFIF handled correctly IR 10 Missed approach procedure correctly flown IR 11 Cockpit resources used efficiently IR 12 Orientation and Situational Awareness maintained IR 13 Sound engine handling demonstrated IR 14 Sound command judgement displayed IR 15 Traffic handled safely IR 16 Instruments and navaids checked during taxi IR 17 PTOSB covered all pertinent aspects IR 18 Correct IFR procedures applied IR 19 Turbulence penetration speed quoted IR 20 AIP handling speeds for category employed IR 21 Steep turns on instruments +/- 150 ft deviation IR 22 LP technique manoeuvring within +/- 200ft, +/- 5 deg IR 23 UA drills correctly applied

Section 4


ASSUMPTIONS This syllabus assumes:

1. The trainee undertakes a standard PPL course, 2. The trainee having achieved a PPL then undertakes an

integrated course of training the end result being the attainment of the following qualifications: CPL(A) IR-C-ME(A)

DEFINITION OF ACHIEVEMENT STANDARDS: Review: "Day VFR Syllabus- Aeroplane" Standard 4

* Trainee has received training in the Element but is not able to consistently achieve the PPL Standard.

Standard 3

* Trainee is able to achieve the PPL Standard on the majority of occasions; Safe to operate under direct supervision.

Standard 2

* Trainee has achieved the standard required for Private Pilot as detailed in "The Australian National Competency Standards for Private and Commercial Pilots".

Standard 1

* Trainee has achieved the required standard for Commercial Pilot as detailed in "The Australian National Competency Standards for Private and Commercial Pilots".


NOTES TO INSTRUCTORS: * When completing post flight assessments using the

assessment forms, it is not necessary to score every element on every flight. Most flights will not cover all the competency elements, therefore only score those elements relevant.

* When an element has attained the required standard

for that phase of training, further scoring is not necessary, however ensure the "Achievement Record" is certified accordingly.

NOTE: The "Training Activity Versus Competency Element Grids" which follow are intended to show a matrix of typical competency elements which can be introduced or assessed during a training activity. Not all trainees will complete the TA satisfactorily at the pace depicted in the grids. Therefore they are only a guide to the anticipated progress of an average trainee.


NOTE: THE CHAPTER NUMBERS AND SECTION NUMBERS WHICH APPEAR IN THE GROUND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS RELATE TO THE CHAPTER AND SECTION NUMBERS IN THE MENU OF THE “PILOT THEORY” ONLINE COURSE AT www.pilottheory.com THE “TCO” SECTION IS PRE PROGRAMMED TO FOLLOW THE LESSONS IN THE ORDER SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL.
