FAA Inspectors and FAAST Managers Training Federal Aviation Administration MODULE 1 Introduction 03/10/09 Downloaded from www. avhf. com Rev. 1. 0 SL-1 -FIFMT-1

Objectives • Upon completing this lesson: – You will understand the background, goals, philosophy, imperatives, and implementation of SBT, SRM, and LCG. – You will understand the importance of using SBT, SRM, and LCG in flight training.

Overview • This is the first module of the FAA Inspectors and FAAS Managers Training Seminar. • Why use SBT, SRM, and LCG and where did they come from? • What are the goals, philosophy, and imperatives and how can they be implemented? Federal Aviation Administration SL-3 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Why do this? • To facilitate learning in order to reduce or prevent pilot-error accidents. Federal Aviation Administration SL-4 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Background • Seventy-five to 80% of GA accidents are caused by human factors (pilot errors) • Judgment and decision-making can be taught and evaluated using STB, SRM, and LCG. • The FITS studies showed significant improvement. Federal Aviation Administration SL-5 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Background (cont. ) • The development process: – Determined best practices currently in use. – Identified best practices for improving learning and enhancing judgment. – Tested the effectiveness. – Developed generic training syllabi. – Recommended changes to PTS and developed grading rubrics. Federal Aviation Administration SL-6 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Scenario-Based Training (SBT) • SBT is a training system (teaching method) that uses a highly structured script of real-world experiences to address flight-evaluation in an operational environment. Federal Aviation Administration SL-7 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) • SRM is the art and science of managing all resources (both on-board the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight is never in doubt. • SRM includes ADM, RM, AM, TM, SA, and CFIT avoidance. Federal Aviation Administration SL-8 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Learner-Centered Grading (LCG) • LCG is a grading system and a debriefing technique that provides: – clear feedback about progress toward achieving desired outcomes, – progress to other instructors and flight managers, and – opportunities to enhance learning as well as practice and rehearse judgment and decision-making. Federal Aviation Administration SL-9 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Goals • The goals are to: – improve the acquisition of aeronautical knowledge and – enhance the development of judgment and aeronautical decision-making skills. Federal Aviation Administration SL-10 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Philosophy • The philosophy is to use maneuvers in scenarios to improve learning and recall, and to emphasize the development of judgment and decision-making skills. Federal Aviation Administration SL-11 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Why scenarios? • Scenarios engage and motivate. – To facilitate learning • The pilot must actively engage in the learning process. • Learning activities must be realistic and authentic – Authentic to the pilot • The pilot needs to understand how the new knowledge relates to his or her previous experience or knowledge Federal Aviation Administration SL-12 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Aeronautical Decision-Making • Is defined as a systematic approach to the mental process and mental skills used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances. • The mental skills are analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. • Can be taught like any other mental skill. • Needs to be practiced and rehearsed.

Practice Exercise Federal Aviation Administration SL-14 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

With a partner: • Pick a common GA single-engine emergency and set up the circumstances surrounding the emergency. • Develop an appropriate response. Federal Aviation Administration SL-15 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Can We Do Better? • We picked an emergency • Developed a response • To practice and rehears judgment (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation), we need more steps in the learning process Federal Aviation Administration SL-16 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Teaching & Learning Method • Give the pilot a problem or task to solve • Have the pilot reflect on how he/she solved the problem and determine if there were other ways the problem could have been solved • Have the pilot re-solve the problem using additional information or another way Federal Aviation Administration SL-17 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Teaching & Learning Method (cont. ) • Have the pilot choose which solution is best • Challenge the pilot to describe “best” and consider if the “best solution” is always the same solution Federal Aviation Administration SL-18 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Back to the Practice Exercise Federal Aviation Administration SL-19 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Revisit Your Solution • • Reflect Re-solve Select which is best What is “best” Federal Aviation Administration SL-20 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Imperatives • Pilot training must include teaching methods that develop judgment and decision-making skills as well as engagement in the learning process and includes realistic and authentic learning activities • These teaching methods are SBT, LCG, and SRM Federal Aviation Administration SL-21 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Implementation • Incorporate SBT, LCG, and SRM • Use a problem or task as the learning activity center-piece • Use a scenario and the judgment assessment rubric to evaluate judgment and decision-making Federal Aviation Administration SL-22 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Review • Seventy-five to 80% of the GA accidents are caused by pilot error • Pilots can be taught judgment and decisionmaking skills • Pilots need to practice and rehearse analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills • SBT, SRM, and LCG are effective tools for teaching, providing practice, and rehearsal opportunities Federal Aviation Administration SL-23 -FIFMT-1 Downloaded from www. avhf. com

Objectives • Upon completing this lesson: – You will understand the background, goals, philosophy, imperatives, and implementation of SBT, SRM, and LCG. – You will understand the importance of using SBT, SRM, and LCG in flight training.
