Pilot Reference Material Sim 6

Transcription

1 Pilot Reference Material Sim 6 Introduction: Cyclic 6 represents the final exercise in the inaugural Skywest F100 Cyclic Program. Once we commence the Cyclic 6 sessions our thoughts will turn to the design and construction of the next 3 year Cyclic Program. As such I encourage you to contact either myself or Charlie Grubb with any thoughts or suggestions that you may have in relations to improvements that could be made to the concepts and the conduct of the program in general. Once the final crews complete Cyclic 6 we will be publishing the (de-identified) results of the 3 year program. Following a review of the Cyclic 5 results we have modified the cyclic 6 program to ensure that we focus on areas that have been identified as requiring overall attention. The recurrent training element of Cyclic 5 proved valuable with a lot of feedback from crews and checking staff alike as to the benefits of this training. Whilst we intend on continuing this concept the training element of Cyclic 6 contains a Line Orientated Flight Training Exercise as well as a short manoeuvre based training sequence in Windshear and Rejected Take off. The review of the LOA in Cyclic 5 indicated that during the arrival phase of flight (following the management of a failure) breakdowns in Situational Awareness contributed to errors. The Attached CD/DVD contains a Video presentation on Situational Awareness produced by Jim Williams in conjunction with Charlie Grubb. Please review this material as the concepts highlighted will be used throughout the LOFT briefing and exercise. Additionally, we have included on the CD a Weather Radar Training program produced by Archie Trammell. The objective of this program is to provide crews with a program of training in weather radar theory concepts that can be applied to the use of Radar in our operations. As always if you have any questions regarding the Cyclic 6 process of information please do not hesitate to contact either Charlie Grubb or myself directly.

4 Pre-Briefing knowledge requirements: The pre briefing will cover a review of the various sequences contained in the Sim 6 Session plan. As part of this briefing the Check Captain will discuss the various requirements and techniques associated with the sequences. This may occur in question/answer form. As of cyclic 6 the oral quiz, including the Instrument rating test questions will be conducted as a crew exercise. EXTRACT from CASA Instrument Rating Test Form Pre-flight Examination 1 Knew privileges and limitations of rating 2 Knew IFR and approach recency requirements 3 Knew IFR flight and duty time limits (CPL & higher) 4 Knew aircraft equipment limits and requirements 5 Obtained & understood current operational information 6 Correctly interpreted meteorological information 7 Understood application of take off minima 8 Determined alternate / holding requirements 9 Knew IFR procedures for all airspace categories 10 Correctly interpreted DAPs (*incl DME arcs & arrivals) 11 Knew rules for operation below LSALT/MSA day/night 12 Understood requirements for circling approaches 13 Understood ERSA normal and emergency procedures 14 Flight plan accurate and complete 15 Publications amended and complete NOTE: IFR questions will be conducted as a crew exercise. Both pilots will be asked questions from the above CASA test form items. Flight Crew Check Guide Cyclic 6 Pilot Reference Material Page 4

5 Cyclic Sim 6 Crew Feedback IMPORTANT the overall results of crew feedback will be disseminated within the training and checking organisation however the specific details of your feedback are confidential and are only reviewed by the Head of Training and Checking. Name Check Captain Date of Check Cyclic Number Please tick your response in the appropriate box. Statement Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree The preparation material gave me sufficient guidance to prepare for the exercise. The pre-brief / Questioning component was conducted as I expected. The training exercises covered material that I considered valuable. My preparation for the Manoeuvre Based sequence exercises were appropriate to the level that I encountered during the exercise. The Line Orientated Assessment presented me with a realistic and challenging exercise. The Exercises were conducted as detailed by the Flight Crew Check guide. The assessment grading given to me reflected my own self assessment.
