TRAINING CONSIDERATIONS (EMPHASIS)

 Duties and Responsibilities

 Crew Resource Management (CRM)

 Cockpit Flow and setup from memory

 Cockpit Checklist Procedures

 Aircraft Characteristics
The flight training Modules are developed in a syllabus / briefing notes format. They should be adhered to when progression is normal.

### Preflight Inspection Training Curriculum

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION TRAINING MODULE

OBJECTIVE: The Preflight Inspection Training Module is a separate training curriculum module. The preflight inspection module should teach the trainee to demonstrate his/her ability to perform the appropriate safety inspection checks. The trainee will be taught how to identify and determine when a component is in an unsafe condition.


### EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Applicable checklist, FAA approved pictorial or an aircraft.



### PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

1. External Safety Inspection
2. Interior Safety Inspection
3. Exterior Inspection
4. Cabin InspectionRicks Aviation Inc. Training for Citation 500 Series Single Pilot Exemption



### Original Page 32 5/14/2015 2.4 Aircraft Training Curriculum (12:00 Hours Single) 

### I. PREFLIGHT TRAINING: The pilot-in-training will complete an Exterior Preflight Inspection training module before the Practical Test.

TRAINING CONSIDERATIONS (EMPHASIS) Duties and Responsibilities Crew Resource Management (CRM) Cockpit Flow and setup from memory Cockpit Checklist Procedures Aircraft Characteristics
The flight training Modules are developed in a syllabus briefing notes format. They should be adhered to when progression is normal. If progression is notnormal, Ricks Aviation Inc.'s Director of Business Aircraft and the pilot-intraining’s instructor will confer on the amount of additional instruction necessary. A pilot-in-training will not be allowed to progress to the next Training Module until satisfactory completion of the previous Training Module. Normal progression begins with simple maneuvers and becomes increasingly more complex.


### PROGRAMMED HOURS Each aircraft module is scheduled for 2.0 hours. An additional 1.0 hour for briefing and 0.5 hour for debriefing is required. Aircraft training hours may be reduced if pilot-in-training completes all tasks and is recommended for the Practical Test by the instructor.
