Course Objectives:
To prepare freshly graduated CCAR 141 pilots for entry into airlines training by providing them with the required skills, knowledge and attributes in the handling and management of a Category II Airplane (B737-800 or Airbus320). The focus will be on personal and professional competencies conducted on IPT and Fixed-Based Simulator.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
- Candidates who possess a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with multi-engine instrument rating (CPL/ MEIR)
- Successful completion of CAAC ATPL ground theory examination.
- Proficient with the ICAO Level 4 requirements.
DURATION
Language proficiency – 2 weeks
Personal Competency – 1 day
Professional Competency – 3 weeks
Aviation English Training and Assessment
For candidates that are lacking in language proficiency, a 2-week (10 days) training programme consisting of 50 hours of aviation english training has been developed to improve their language proficiency.
The programme would focus on communicative skills (listening and speaking) encompassing pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and interactions.
Personality Profile Test
Personality traits and stability of candidates are deemed important and crucial in how they respond to difficult and stressful situations in flights.
The Personality Profile Test is designed to measure a broad range of personality traits, that are important in the function of an airline pilot.
The automated report distinguishes four groups of competencies:
- the core competencies
- the primary competencies
- the personal competencies
- the relational competencies
Advice and guidance would be provided to candidates on how to improve on those competencies that found to be lacking in the candidates after the personality test and assessment.
The intended outcome is to enable candidates to better appreciate his/ her character traits and to focus on the necessary behavioural and mindset changes which will lead to better decision-making
Module 1: Knowledge -- Ground Training
Competency Based Training approach integrating the elements of Human Factors, CRM and TEM is adopted throughout the entire course. There will be competency markers stringed across the lesson plans for pilot assessment and grading.
Module 2: Skill -- Integrated Part-Task Trainer (IPT) Training
On ground knowledge, candidates will be taught on Cat II airplane operations, B737-800 or Airbus 320 ground theory that would be relevant to the follow-on Type Rating course. On skills, candidates would undergo Integrated Part-Task Trainer (IPT) module in the training curriculum to drill them in flight deck familiarization, scan flow patterns and Flight Management System (FMS) operations.
Module 3: Skill -- Fixed-Base Simulator (FBS) Training
During the Fixed Based Simulator (FBS) training, the emphasis will be on airplane manual handling skill, familiarization of normal procedures, flight automation, and manual approach and landing. The aim is for the pilot to develop confidence in aircraft handling and an instinctive feel for the airplane.
Upon completion of the APCC, the candidates will possess the mental capacity and abilities listed below:
