Part 1 Teaching and Learning

The first step to becoming a Type Rating Instructor or Synthetic Flight Instructor (TRI/SFI) is to complete the rewarding teaching and learning element of the course.

This 25-hour classroom-based course enables the trainee to understand learning and teaching techniques.

The competence of the instructor candidate is developed through theoretical and practical training. Practical elements include the development of specific instructor skills, particularly in the area of teaching and assessing threat and error management and crew resource management (CRM).

Special attention will be given to the candidate instructor’s approach and judgment, including their understanding of behavioral attitudes and variable levels of learning ability. During the training course, the candidate instructor will become aware of their attitude towards the importance of flight safety.

Content

The course, delivered over 3.5 days (25 hours) at the London Training Center, will cover the core competencies required to become a successful instructor including:

Training philosophies
Evaluation of trainee performance
Learning processes
Methods of teaching/training
Creating an environment for progressive learning
Practical briefing, debriefing, and assessment techniques

Part 2 Technical Training

The technical theoretical-knowledge instruction comprises of 10 hours of training to build on and refresh the Part 1, teaching and learning subjects, and aircraft technical knowledge. It covers the preparation of lesson plans and the development of briefing-room instructional skills.

The type rating theoretical syllabus is employed to develop the TRI(A)’s teaching skills in relation to the type technical course syllabus. The course instructor (tutor) delivers example lectures from the applicable type technical syllabus. The candidate instructor should prepare and deliver lectures on topics selected by the tutor from the type rating course.

A proportion of the allotted 10 hours is integrated into the practical flight instruction lessons of Part 3, using expanded pre-flight and post-flight briefing sessions. Consequently, for practical purposes, Part 2 and Part 3 are considered complementary to each other.

Part 3 Flight Instruction

The course is specific to the type of aircraft the applicant wishes to instruct. It consists of at least 10 hours of instruction per candidate.

TEM, CRM, and the appropriate use of behavioral markers is integrated throughout all training exercises.

This course enables the candidate instructor to gain experience of training a variety of exercises, covering both normal and abnormal operations.

The syllabus is tailored to the aircraft type, and the exercises used are more demanding for each candidate.

The course trains the entire range of instructor skills to enable the candidate instructor to plan sessions, brief, train, and de-brief using all relevant techniques.

The course concludes with an assessment of competence (AoC).

TRI Sim to TRI ZFT/ LIFUS Upgrade Course

For those undertaking an upgrade from TRI Sim to TRI zero flight time (ZFT) & LIFUS, this course consists of:

1-day ground school and simulator module with the remaining modules, including training in an aircraft in-flight, carried out by the client airline.

This training will include at least one sector observing a TRI(A) conducting actual line flying on a candidate after zero flight time training (ZFTT) or participating in a role-play sector. This is followed by the under-training TRI conducting a live sector under the supervision of a TRI(A).
