Lesson Plan LP-02 — Classroom: Competency Observation Practice
Type: Classroom / workshop
Duration: 180 minutes
Module link: 03
MaxFli TRI Course
Objectives
- Apply the eight-competency instructional set to live or recorded observation.
- Produce specific behavioural notes with competency tags (objective evidence — Doc 9995 Part I, 6.3.3 paraphrased; SD29 v9.1 observable CRM/NTS behaviours).
- Convert notes into a tailored training focus statement; practise highlighting strengths, root-cause thinking, and behaviour→outcome links.
- Flag any observed reduction in safety margins.
Competency focus
All eight (observation skill) · Situation Awareness · Communication
Timing
| Mins | Activity | Instructor notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0–20 | Competency set walkthrough with airline examples | Do not read protected manuals; use Module 02 adaptations |
| 20–40 | Bad note / good note clinic | Candidates rewrite weak notes |
| 40–55 | Brief observation protocol | Event → fact → tag → park judgement |
| 55–100 | Observation exercise (video/role-play) | Individual notes on observation sheet |
| 100–130 | Pair calibration | Align tags; discuss disagreements |
| 130–160 | From notes to tailored focus | Each pair writes one next-scenario objective; include one strength + one root cause |
| 160–180 | Debrief of the exercise itself (meta) | What made observation hard? Link to sim workload |
Resources
- Observation sheet
- Competency notes template
- Short sim clip or scripted role-play (ATO-approved)
Success look-like
Notes are specific enough for a third TRI to visualise events; include strengths and root causes; tailored focus references competencies/NTS, not vague “more practice.”
