Lesson Plan LP-04 — FFS: Evaluation Phase & Manoeuvres Training Phase
Type: Full Flight Simulator (instructional practice for TRI candidates)
Duration: Four-hour simulator detail; two-hour IOS block and two hours observing per candidate. Preparation, main briefing and debriefing outside the booking unless specified by the ATO.

Objectives
- Run an Evaluation phase segment: observe/assess; gather objective evidence; identify individual training needs; instructor normally does not instruct or interrupt (Doc 9995 Part I, 7.4 paraphrased); safety interventions only.
- Transition into a Manoeuvres training phase with clear demonstration/practice loops; act as an active trainer on critical handling (Part I, 7.5 paraphrased) — not a line-oriented story.
- Debrief distinguishing baseline Evaluation evidence from taught manoeuvre items; include strengths, root causes, and tailored next focus; integrate CRM/TEM observations with technical performance (SD29 v9.1 §8 / §10).
- Demonstrate 6.3.3-style noting: behaviour→outcome, good performance, safety margins.
Competency focus (of the pilots under training — for observation practice)
Flight Path Manual · Flight Path Automation · Application of Procedures/Knowledge · Workload Management
TRI candidate focus: Professional Standards · Communication · Workload Management (session control)
Four-hour detail structure
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.
This Part 1 lesson supports Part 2 FFS Detail 5; it is not a replacement for the ten-detail programme.
- 00:00–02:00: Candidate A instructs from the IOS; Candidate B observes.
- 02:00: Short IOS/observer changeover.
- 02:00–04:00: Candidate B instructs; Candidate A observes. Changeover time is included in this block.
Use the relevant Part 2 exercise sequence within each allocated block, with tutor oversight. Debrief with RECAP and record instructor development separately from crew performance.
IOS / device notes
- Preload weather and failure plan; know remove paths.
- Agree freeze policy: Evaluation phase = rare; Manoeuvres training phase = allowed for teaching.
Success look-like
Clear behavioural difference between Evaluation phase (observe) and Manoeuvres training phase (active trainer); notes support a tailored statement with strengths/root causes and CRM/TEM tags; seat/control discipline sound.
