Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 2.365 Course for the type rating instructor (helicopter) for, as applicable, single or multi-pilot helicopters certificated for VFR or IFR operation (TRI(H)) See JAR-FCL 2.365 See AMC FCL 2.365 1 The aim of the TRI(H) course is to train helicopter licence holders to the level of proficiency necessary for the issue of a TRI(H) rating and, for that purpose, to: a. refresh and bring up to date technical knowledge; b. train the applicant to teach the theoretical knowledge subjects and air exercises; c. ensure that the applicant s flying is of a sufficiently high standard. 2 All the subject detail contained in the Theoretical Knowledge and Flight Training Syllabus shall already be known by the applicant. 3 The TRI(H) course shall give particular stress to the role of the individual in relation to the importance of human factors in the man-machine environment. Special attention shall be paid to the applicant s maturity and judgement including an understanding of adults, their behavioural attitudes and variable levels of ability. 4 During the course, the applicants shall be made aware of their own attitudes to the importance of flight safety. Safety awareness shall be a fundamental objective throughout the course. It will be of major importance for the course of training to aim at giving applicants the knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to a type rating instructor s task. 5 On successful completion of the course and final test, the applicant may be issued with a type rating instructor (helicopter) rating permitting the holder to give theoretical knowledge instruction and flight instruction (and may include synthetic flight instruction) in order to instruct for any helicopter type rating for which the applicant is qualified (see art. 80 of Royal Decree 21/06/2004 - JAR FCL 2.365). TEACHING AND LEARNING 6 The syllabus is set out in AMC FCL 2.365 part 1. An approved TRI(H) Teaching and Learning course shall comprise not less than 25 hours. Pilots holding or having held one of the following ratings are credited for the TRI(H) Teaching and Learning part of the TRI(H) course : FI(H), IRI(H); FI(A), CRI(A), TRI(A), SFI(A) and IRI(A). TECHNICAL TRAINING 7 The technical training syllabus is set out in AMC FCL 2.365 part 2. FLIGHT TRAINING 8 The amount of flight training will vary depending on the complexity of the helicopter type. At least 5 hours flight training for a single-pilot VFR certificated helicopter, and at least 10 hours for a multi-pilot multi-engine IFR certificated helicopter, shall be given by a TRI instructor designated by the Authority for this purpose. The flight training shall aim to ensure that the applicant is able to teach the air exercises safely and efficiently and shall be related to the type of helicopter on which the applicant wishes to instruct. The content of the training programme therefore shall only cover training exercises applicable to the helicopter type. 9 If a TRI rating for multi-pilot helicopters is sought particular attention shall be given to multi-crew cooperation. If a TRI rating for revalidating of instrument ratings is sought then the applicant shall hold a valid instrument rating. 3
AMC FCL 2.365 Course for the type rating instructor (helicopter) for, as applicable, single or multi-pilot helicopters certificated for VFR or IFR operation (TRI(H)) (See JAR FCL 2.365) (See Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 2.365) COURSE OBJECTIVE 1 The course should be designed to give adequate training to the applicant in theoretical knowledge and flying instructional techniques based upon established teaching methods. The training programme should give details of all theoretical knowledge, flight and/or synthetic flight instructions. 2 On successful completion of the course and final test, the applicant may be issued with a type rating instructor (helicopter) rating permitting the holder to give theoretical knowledge and flight training appropriate to any helicopter type rating for which the applicant is qualified (see art. 80 of Royal Decree 21/06/2004 - JAR FCL 2.365). 3 The TRI(H) course should give particular stress to the role of the individual in relation to the importance of human factors in the man-machine environment. Special attention should be paid to the applicant s maturity and judgement including an understanding of adults, their behavioral attitudes and variable levels of ability. 4 All the subject detail contained in the Theoretical knowledge and Flight Training Syllabus should already be known by the applicant. Therefore the purpose of the course is to: a. refresh and bring up to date technical knowledge; b. train the applicant to teach the theoretical knowledge subjects and air exercises; c. ensure that the applicant s flying is of a sufficiently high standard. 5 During the course, the applicants should be made aware of their own attitudes to the importance of flight safety. Safety awareness should be a fundamental objective throughout the course. It will be of major importance for the course of training to aim at giving applicants the knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to a type rating instructor s task and to achieve this the course curriculum, in terms of goals and objectives, should comprise at least the following areas: TRAINING SKILLS 6 The amount of flight training will vary depending on the complexity of the helicopter type. At least 5 hours flight training for a single pilot VFR certificated helicopter, and at least 10 hours for a multi pilot multi engine IFR certificated helicopter, should be given by a TRI instructor designated by the Authority for this purpose. The flight training should aim to ensure that the applicant is able to teach the air exercises safely and efficiently and should be related to the type of helicopter on which the applicant wishes to instruct. The content of the training programme therefore should only cover training exercises applicable to the helicopter type. 7 If a TRI rating for multi-pilot helicopters is sought particular attention should be given to multi-crew cooperation. 8 If a TRI rating for revalidating of instrument ratings is sought then the applicant must hold a valid instrument rating. 9 The TRI rating applicant should be taught and made familiar with giving instruction from the seat normally occupied by the co-pilot. Flight training exercises 10 The flight training exercises should be based on the content of the Skill Test and Proficiency Check Record as detailed in Appendix 2 to JAR FCL 2.240 & 2.295 and Appendix 3 to JAR FCL 2.240. The starred 4
items are only required to be covered for a TRI wishing to instruct for the purpose of revalidation of Instrument Ratings.
