TRI Course Pack
Instructor development in two parts: teaching methods, pilot competencies and EBT foundations in Part 1; a structured ten-detail full flight simulator programme in Part 2 FFS.
Part 2 FFS — Practical instructor development
Ten four-hour simulator details: 40 course FFS hours in total. Each candidate receives 20 hours of IOS instructional practice and 20 hours of peer observation. This is the Part 2 syllabus design, subject to the approved ATO programme and any formally approved credit.
Two TRI candidates normally attend. They alternate between the instructor operating station (IOS) and the observer position after two hours. Two separate operating pilots remain in the flight-deck seats throughout. The TRI candidates do not occupy either operating pilot seat during a course detail.
Each four-hour detail gives each candidate a two-hour IOS block and two hours observing. The short midpoint changeover is included in the four-hour booking. Preparation, briefing and debriefing sit outside that booking unless the ATO specifies otherwise.
Three phases
- Foundation — Details 1–3: 12 FFS hours; 6 IOS hours per candidate.
- Development — Details 4–7: 16 FFS hours; 8 IOS hours per candidate.
- Consolidation — Details 8–10: 12 FFS hours; 6 IOS hours per candidate.
Ten simulator details
- Detail 1 — Normal take-off and landing instruction
- Detail 2 — Automation, approach and rejected landing
- Detail 3 — Non-normal procedure and engine-out handling
- Detail 4 — Upset prevention, recovery and rejected take-off
- Detail 5 — Evaluation and manoeuvres training
- Detail 6 — Scenario-based training and facilitation
- Detail 7 — Progress review and tailored training
- Detail 8 — Integrated technical scenario
- Detail 9 — Candidate-designed training detail
- Detail 10 — Final observed instructional detail
Instruction, debriefing and completion
Teach from the IOS, manage the device, observe both operating pilots and adapt training to the evidence. Use the RECAP debrief: Recall, Evidence, Cause, Alternative and Plan.
Progress reviews follow Details 3 and 7. Detail 10 is the final observed instructional detail. Assessment concerns the TRI candidate’s instructor performance, not the operating pilots’ flying standard.
The Part 2 rubric uses four levels: 1 — unsafe or ineffective; 2 — developing; 3 — course standard; 4 — strong course standard. Completion requires level 3 or above in every critical area, satisfactory progress reviews, completed mandatory training and records, and no unresolved safety concern or recurring weakness.
Course outcomes are course standard met, further training required, or course discontinued. Course completion does not replace the formal TRI Assessment of Competence or confer TRI privileges or EBT instructor authorisation.
