Purpose
This pack equips an aspiring TRI to instruct on type with a modern, competency-based and EBT-aligned approach. It is instructional design material for MaxFli contracted delivery — not a regulatory manual. Always cross-check the applicable Authority (CAA / EASA / other) and AOC / ATO requirements for the specific type and State of registry.
Who this pack is for
- Aspiring TRI candidates preparing for TRI course and assessment
- MaxFli contracted TRIs delivering or refreshing TRI development training
- Training managers who need a coherent syllabus map for TRI development with EBT and competencies woven through

How to use this pack
- Course directors — Start with Course overview and Module map. Confirm local regulatory and ATO approvals before scheduling.
- Instructors delivering the TRI course — Teach modules 01–08 in sequence (or as mapped); use 09–12 as compliance companions. Use Lesson plans for day-by-day delivery. Keep worksheets printed or digital for each candidate.
- TRI candidates — Read the overview and competency module before Day 1. Complete self-reflection worksheets after each sim session. Use the observation sheet when watching peers.
- Assessment — Use Course completion checklist as the gate for course sign-off. Competency and EBT behaviours must be evidenced, not only manoeuvre ticks.
- Brand / presentation — Open the Course hub for a polished overview suitable for client or candidate induction.
Design principles (woven through every module)
- Competency-based — Instruct and assess against pilot competencies and observable behaviours, not manoeuvre tick-boxes alone.
- EBT structure — Evaluation → Manoeuvres → Scenario-based phases; tailored training where evidence supports it.
- Facilitator role — TRI as facilitator of learning; guided discovery preferred over lecture when safety and time allow.
- TEM — Threat and Error Management as a continuous instructional theme.
- Original MaxFli content — Frameworks referenced by name (e.g. ICAO Doc 9995, UK CAA SD29 v9.1, EASA/UK Part-FCL TRI, ICAO pilot competencies) at high level only. Paraphrase and cite by section. Do not paste protected manuals into delivery.
Suggested delivery shape
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.
