o Acquire & demonstrate theoretical knowledge and practical skill.
Theoretical knowledge
» Acquire and maintain knowledge appropriate to the functions and proportionate to the risks
o air law;
o aircraft general knowledge;
o technical matters related to the category of the aircraft;
o flight performance and planning;
o human performance and limitations;
o meteorology;
o navigation;
o operational procedures, including resource management;
o principles of flight;
o communications; and
o non-technical skills, including the recognition and management of threats and errors.
Demonstration and maintenance of theoretical knowledge
» Continuous assessment during training and, where appropriate, by examinations.
» Appropriate level of competence in theoretical knowledge maintained.
» Compliance by regular assessments, examinations, tests or checks.
» The frequency of examinations, tests or checks must be proportionate to the level of risk associated with the activity.
Practical skill
» Acquire and maintain the practical skills
o Proportionate to the risks associated to the type of activity cover the following as applicable:
• Pre-flight and
• In-flight activities, including aircraft performance,
• Mass and balance determination,
• Aircraft inspection and servicing,
• fuel/energy planning,
• weather appreciation,
• route planning,
• airspace restrictions and
• runway availability;
» Aerodrome and traffic-pattern operations;
» Collision avoidance precautions and procedures;
» Control of the aircraft by external visual reference;
» Flight maneuvers, including in critical situations, and associated ‘upset’ maneuvers, as technically achievable;
» Normal and cross-wind take-offs and landings;
» Flight by reference solely to instruments, as appropriate to the type of activity;
» Operational procedures, including team skills and resource management, as appropriate to the type of operation, whether single or multi-crew;
» Navigation and implementation of rules of the air and related procedures, using as appropriate, visual reference or navigation aids;
» Abnormal and emergency operations, including simulated aircraft equipment malfunctions;
» Compliance with air traffic services and communications procedures;
» (Aircraft type or class-specific aspects;
» Additional practical skill training that may be required to mitigate risks associated with specific activities; and
» Non-technical skills, including the recognition and management of threats and errors, using an adequate assessment methodology in conjunction with the technical skills assessment.
Demonstration and maintenance of practical skill
» Demonstrate with appropriate competence
o Operate within Limits
o Good Judgement & Airmanship
o Aeronautical Knowledge
o Maintain Control
o Non Technical Skills
» Management of threats and errors
o Appropriate level of competence
• Regular assessments,
• Examinations, tests or checks.
• Frequency of examinations, proportionate to the risk associated with the activity.
Language Proficiency
» Language proficiency appropriate to the functions exercised on the aircraft.
o The ability to understand weather information documents;
o The use of aeronautical en-route, departure and approach charts and associated aeronautical information documents; and
o The ability to communicate with other flight crew and air navigation services during all phases of flight, including flight preparation, in the language used for radio communications involved in the flight.
