COMPETENCIES Y/N/P Training Manual Reference/s CAA Remarks Has the approved training organisation (ATO) ensured that their course design develops the required core competencies through their training and assessment plan based on the competency framework provided in Table 1 below? (An ATO may this framework to include additional competencies and/or performance indicators/observable behaviours) Table 1 — COMPETENCIES Competency Description Performance indicators/observable behaviours Application of knowledge Relates and applies relevant knowledge in the operational environment and in scenario settings. — Demonstrates the acquisition and retention of required aviation knowledge; — Relates knowledge between subject areas; — Applies knowledge to the operational environment; — Correctly identifies threats and errors in a timely manner; — Uses knowledge to create valid options of managing threats, errors, and undesirable aeroplane states; — Mentally resolves basic-mathematics problems relating to operational situations, both under normal circumstances and under pressure; — Shares knowledge with others openly and constructively, as and when appropriate. Application of regulations and procedures Identifies and applies appropriate procedures in accordance with published operating instructions and pursuant to applicable regulations. — Identifies where to find the information; — Follows standard operating procedures (SOPs) unless a higher degree of safety dictates an appropriate deviation therefrom; — Follows all operating instructions in a timely manner; — Correctly operates aeroplane systems and associated equipment; — Monitors the status of aeroplane systems; — Complies with applicable regulations; — Applies relevant procedural knowledge. Communication Communicates through appropriate means in normal and non-normal situations. — Ensures that the recipient is ready and able to receive the information; — Shares appropriate information;
— Monitors and detects deviations from the desired aeroplane trajectory and takes appropriate action; — Manages the flight path to optimise the operational performance; — Maintains the desired flight path during manual flight, whilst managing other tasks and distractions; — Effectively monitors flight guidance systems, including engagement and automatic-mode transitions. Leadership and teamwork Influences others so that they contribute to a shared purpose. Collaborates to accomplish the goals of the team. — Creates an atmosphere of open communication and encourages team participation; — Displays initiative and directions when required; — Admits mistakes and takes responsibility; — Carries out instructions when directed; — Gives and receives feedback constructively; — Applies effective intervention strategies to resolve deviations identified whilst monitoring; — into account cultural differences; — Engages others in planning; — Addresses and resolves conflicts and disagreements in a constructive manner; — Exercises decisive leadership. Problem-solving and decision-making Identifies problem precursors and resolves actual problems, decision-making techniques, in a timely manner. — Seeks accurate and appropriate information from appropriate sources; — Identifies and verifies what and why has failed; — Perseveres with resolving problems whilst prioritising safety; — Uses appropriate and timely decision-making techniques; — Sets priorities appropriately; — Identifies and considers options, as appropriate; — Monitors, reviews, and adapts decisions, as required; — Identifies, assesses, and manages risks effectively;
GRADING SYSTEM Y/N/P Training Manual Reference/s CAA Remarks Has the ATO adopted an appropriate grading system based on the example shown below? EXAMPLE OF AN APS MCC GRADING SYSTEM Competency Unsatisfactory Satisfactory Good Very Good Exemplary General description of each competency level. The pilot’s performance in this competency was unsatisfactory with a negative effect on safety. The pilot did not demonstrate the majority of the relevant performance indicators. The pilot’s performance in this competency was satisfactory with a slightly positive effect on safety. The pilot demonstrated most of the relevant performance indicators in this competency to at least a satisfactory standard. The pilot’s performance in this competency was effective with a significant contribution to safety. The pilot consistently demonstrated most of the relevant performance indicators in this competency to a good standard. The pilot’s performance in this competency was very effective, which significantly enhanced safety. The pilot regularly demonstrated all of the relevant performance indicators in this competency to a very good standard. The pilot’s performance in this competency was exemplary with an outstanding effect on safety. The pilot always demonstrated all of the relevant performance indicators in this competency to an exemplary standard. Notes — Most: 75 % or greater. — Relevant performance indicator: a performance indicator/observable behaviour that is expected to be demonstrated during the assessment.
