Individualization & Optimization of LIFUS (Line Flying Under Supervision) EATS Madrid November 2018 Cpt Olivier WILMART

FLIGHT PLAN Ø 1 WHY THE CHANGE Ø 2 NEW AF LIFUS PHILOSOPHY Ø 3 DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE Ø 4 KEY POINTS Ø 5 Q & A

1. 1 ORIGIN OF THE PROJECT Ø Initial request from the Airbus Long Haul fleet to facilitate the A 330/350 common fleet implementation by reducing the amount of LIFUS sectors for A 320 converting F/O. Ø Opportunity to review the whole LIFUS process (volume AND content, all fleets). The LIFUS had not been reevaluated for a long time, in spite of other recent significant changes in our training : q q competence based evaluation & notation e-professional files for every pilot implementation of ATQP etc.

1. 2 REGULATION Ø Few prescription from EASA regarding volume or content of LIFUS (or IOE).

1. 3 REGULATION Ø Unlike the Type Rating, few prescription from the aircraft manufacters (OSD FC*), especially on content. * Operational Suitability Data- Flight Crew CTR

1. 4 INTERNAL SURVEY Ø Too many LIFUS booklets => difficult to keep them updated. Ø Non standardized content from one fleet to another. Ø Some redundant or irrelevant topics, others missing. Ø Captain’s upgrading process too long and not always optimized as it could be. Ø Question about the safety aspect of the use of fictional scenario during LIFUS. Ø Volume of LIFUS not adapted to the individual needs and experience of the trainee.

1. 5 BENCHMARK

1. 6 LIFUS VOLUME Benchmark

1. 7 AF LIFUS VOLUME Benchmark conclusion key points q Independent of the origin/ experience/ proficiency level of the trainee (except new hired F/O) q Independent of possible change of aircraft manufactor. q Higher than the average of the Industry (except Long Haul => Long Haul) q Including more evaluations and checks than the average of the Industry. ex : comparison KL/AF on an ab-inition standard career : 2 Type Ratings as F/O (1 MH – 1 LH) & 3 as CPT (1 MH – 2 LH): Total number of LIFUS sectors => KL: 116/ AF: 128 (+ 10%) Total number of Evaluation/Check sectors => KL: 10 / AF: 18 (+ 80 %)

2. 1 VOLUME depending on origin/ experience/ pro level F/O Ø New hired F/O : v 16 sectors (mini 12) : qualified 320 pilots with experience on type (NEW!) v 26 sectors (mini 20) : professional pilots with experience on similar aircraft type v 36 sectors (mini 30) : professional pilots with experience on turboprob aircraft v 46 sectors (mini 40) : ab-initio or fighter pilots Ø F/O in transition : Number of sectors depending on : q profesional e-files (evaluation in recurrent training over the last 2 years) q aircraft of origin (more sectors if change of manufactor)

2. 2 VOLUME depending on origin/ experience/ pro level F/O Transition to F/O 330 Approximately 75 % of « green » pilots

2. 3 VOLUME depending on origin/ experience/ pro level CPT Ø 1 st Captaincy : v Preliminary in flight training on Long Haul maintained only for « non green » pilots. v Number of LIFUS sectors on 320 depending on: q profesional e-files (evaluation in recurrent training over the last 2 years) q aircraft of origin (more sectors if change of manufactor) Ø Captain in transition : v Number of session of FFS (LOE) during the LIFUS phase depending on: q profesional e-files (evaluation in recurrent training over the last 2 years) q aircraft of origin (more sectors if change of manufactor)

2. 10 A CONTENT ORGANIZED IN MODULES F/O A 320 - CPT & F/O Long Haul Fleet For each Module Ø List of topics to be revised by the trainee before the LIFUS Flight with their reference in the manuals. Ø Validated by the instructor when acquired by the trainee. Ø List of examples of questions and topics to be discussed with the instructor. Ø Some modules, or part of modules, must not been seen depending upon the experience or origin of the trainee

2. 14 A CONTENT ORGANIZED IN MODULES 1 st Captaincy A 320 1 st Captaincy LIFUS Modules organized by phase of flight and increasing complexity

2. 15 AN INCREASED RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ACTORS Ø The management studies the profesional e-file of every trainee to determine the amount of LIFUS and must adapt it without delay if necessary. Ø The trainee must prepare the modules before his LIFUS sectors. Ø The instructor is responsible to validate the topics seen with the trainee and must inform the management without delay in case he estimates more training will be needed. He must also transmit any relevant information to the following/previous instructor.

2. 16 NO MORE FICTIONAL SCENARIO Let’s imagine that we have a dual hydraulic failure and that at the same moment a cabin pet bites a business class passenger. . . T H IG L S F I N IFU IO G L R NA RIN E C DU S E) L A LO N IO FS ( T FIC AL F E N R MO ITIO NO ADD
