Module Map — MaxFli TRI Course

Suggested contact hours and competency focus for the TRI candidate as instructor (not the line pilot under training). Part 1 module timings are indicative teaching allocations; the separate Part 2 FFS programme below governs practical course planning, subject to ATO approval.

Teaching modules are numbered 01–08 to match the course files and hub.

Part 1 classroom/workshop planning: approximately 18–20 hours in these supporting modules; the ATO verifies the required teaching-and-learning and technical elements or credits.

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.


Module intent (one line each)

Module Intent
01 Establish who the TRI is for the trainee and the organisation; shift from expert pilot to instructor-facilitator.
02 Make competencies observable and usable in real time — evidence, strengths, root causes (Doc 9995 6.3.3).
03 Embed Doc 9995 Evaluation / Manoeuvres training / Scenario-based training phase logic into type and recurrent design.
04 Make brief and debrief the primary teaching tools — briefing objectives & structure (7.3), facilitated debrief (7.8).
05 Build scenario-based training that develops TEM; tailor from Evaluation evidence (7.6).
06 Judge fairly; gather objective evidence; root-cause thinking; AoC-style standards (6.3.3 / 7.7).
07 Use TEM/CRM deliberately in the operational environment; facilitation; SD29 §8 practice.
08 Execute the craft of the TRI in the simulator without compromising safety or learning.

Part 2 FFS delivery sequence

Progress reviews follow Details 3 and 7; Detail 10 is the final observed instructional detail. Schedule preparation, briefing and debriefing separately.
