19 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual PPL Theoretical Knowledge Training The Company theoretical knowledge (TK) training programme requires a minimum of 100 hours of TK instruction. This will be delivered in the following format: Minimum Method of delivery 15 hours Classroom / Hangar based instruction, as detailed in the appendices below; 70 hours Online interactive training delivered under a written agreement with an approved sub contactor TK provider of PPL(H) groundschool as listed in Appendix 7 below; 5 hours Practical radio telephony ground training; 10 hours Directed self-study using other recommended materials. 2 hours Revision of Enhanced Awareness Training subjects listed in Appendix 6B and Emergency /Abnormal Procedures listed in Appendix 10. The Company will check that all the appropriate elements of the TK training course have been completed to a satisfactory standard before recommending an applicant for examination. 1.5 Time Scale A full-time course of flight training for a PPL licence is expected to take at least six weeks to complete. However, in most cases, course length will be dictated by the student s availability and will take considerably longer. The flight training syllabi detailed above show the minimum training required. As detailed in Part 2 of this Manual, each exercise has a completion standard that is to be achieved. In the event that the required standard is not achieved in the minimum time allocated, it will be necessary to repeat all or part of the exercise, which is likely to result in the course being extended beyond the minimum hours. 1.6 Training Programme General Arrangements Lessons may be booked with Ops requiring a 2 hour slot for each one hour flight. Some exercises, e.g. Navigations may require longer slots as directed by the Instructor. Aircraft will be allocated by Ops in consultation with instructors and the Head of Training. Students must be prepared to fly any of the fleet aircraft as operational constraints require. Cancellations by the student require 24 hours notice except in the case of illness. Where 24 hours notice of cancellation is not given, the Company reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee. Slots will be available for booking subject to daylight and instructor availability. First take-off shall not be before 08:30 and last landing shall be before 18:00 unless specifically agreed with the Head of Training (with the exception of night training, the timing of which will be dictated by the time of year). Students will enrol on the Company on-line training course at the beginning of their flying training. It is recommended that students work through the online course subjects and attempt the examinations in the following three groups of three: - Air Law, Operational Procedures and Communications - Meteorology, Human Performance & Limitations and Principles of Flight - Navigation, Flight Performance & Planning and Aircraft General Knowledge August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 19 of 70

20 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual Theoretical Knowledge Instruction Instructors will provide the TK groundschool as and when required by the student prior to sitting each exam. The date and duration of each TK lesson will be recorded on the TK checklist in the student s training records. There will be an additional hourly charge for such mandatory groundschool. All examinations must be completed within a period of 18 months and in six sittings; therefore it is recommended that any exams failed should be re-sat together with a new group of three subjects. Before attempting the practical Radio Telephony (RT) test, students shall attend a one-day RT course provided by a suitably approved RT sub-contractor as detailed in the appendices. The additional costs of this course and the practical examination to be borne by the student August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 20 of 70

21 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual Bad Weather Constraints Subject to the limitations contained in the Company Operations Manual, absolute limits for PPL training are as follows: Dual Training Wind Max Average wind speed Max Gust spread Max Gusts 20 knots 15 knots 30 knots Visibility Min viz for upper air work Min viz for airfield work 6kms Helicopter to be visible to ATC Cloudbase Min for upper air work Min for circuits Min for low level manoeuvres 1,000ft 750 ft Helicopter to be visible to ATC Student Solo Circuits Cross-Country Maximum wind 10 gusting 15kts 15 kts, no gusts Minimum visibility 8km 10km Minimum cloud base 1,000ft agl 1,800 ft agl Notwithstanding the above, instructors should ensure that conditions are suitable for the individual student and exercise. There is no obligation to fly just because conditions are within limits. As a Pilot-in-Command, the instructor must be satisfied that the lesson may be carried out safely and that the student will derive benefit from the flight in the conditions then prevailing Maximum Student Training Times Maximum duty periods in any one day 8:00 Maximum duration of any one dual flight 2:15 Maximum duration of any solo flight 1:30 Maximum flying hours in any day/night 4:00 Maximum number of flights in any day/night; 3 Minimum rest period between consecutive flights 1:00 Minimum rest period consecutive duty periods. 12: Training Records Storage of training active records When not in use, paper training records will be retained by Ops in an appropriate cabinet. They are to be accessible to Ops, Instructors and Company Postholders. Students should have free access to their own training record but not to the records of other students. August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 21 of 70

22 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual Students should read their own training records and are encouraged, but are not obliged, to countersign instructors reports to certify that they are aware of their progress Form of Training Records An individual training record folder is to be produced for each student by Ops. It will contain the individual forms listed below in the format contained in the appendices. All record forms will be kept in a paper format and secured into the folder by suitable treasury tags. They may be completed by hand, in a legible manner or using word processing software. List of forms: 1) Student Personal Details form, 2) First Solo pre-requisites checklist 3) Theoretical Knowledge Training Checklist including recommendations to sit examinations, 4) Emergencies training checklist and Students confirmation of completion 5) Flight Report for each flight including, duration, exercises completed and a narrative report of the student s performance and progress, together with a running total for Dual and Solo flight time. 6) Exercises and Progress Test Summary. 7) Course Completion Summary and Recommendation for test 8) Examination Sittings and Results Checklist Checking of Records and Logbooks After completion of the training record of each flight, the Instructor will cross check with the Student s log book to ensure that they agree. The total hours dual training, solo and total flight time should agree at each stage. Prior to recommendation for test, the instructor will verify the Student s logbook against the Students training record and sign the recommendation to for test form to that effect. The Head of Training will sign the student s log book to certify that the hours recorded are correct as far as training carried out with the Company is concerned. The Company will obtain confirmation of any training carried out at other ATO s, but is unable to certify the veracity of any such hours claimed Standardisation of Entries Training records A flight report for each flight must be completed by the instructor delivering that lesson. Reports should be legible and reflect the debrief given and must record items not performed satisfactorily and wherever possible, advice or suggestions on how to overcome the problem. It is assumed that where an instructor confirms that a specific exercise has been completed, all items have been satisfactorily performed. Items omitted must be individually specified and should be completed at the next suitable opportunity. It is not necessary to record all detailed components of an exercise in the flight report that have been completed to a satisfactory standard. Ideally, students shall countersign each flight report to confirm that they understand (not that they necessarily agree with) the entries. Any unrestricted instructor may recommend a student for test after having flown a dummy test exercise with the student. The recommending instructor must verify that all requirements have been met by completing and signing the PPL(H) Recommendation for Test Form (see Appendix No 11).

23 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual Log Book Entries Students logbooks are to be completed in accordance with Article 79 of the Air Navigation Order 2009, as amended and AMC1 FCL Safety Training Individual Responsibilities The Chief Flying Instructor has overall responsibility for safety training on the PPL (H) course Instructor Responsibilities A list of the Company s authorised instructors is contained in the Company Operations Manual Appendix Individual flight instructors are responsible for ensuring that their students complete safety training in accordance with the following instructions At the beginning of a training course, Instructors are to advise students of the need for a valid medical certificate to be obtained prior to their being sent solo Instructors are responsible for delivering the training course in accordance with the PPL (H) syllabus and the contents of this manual Students Responsibilities Students are responsible for ensuring that they comply with any instructions issued by the Company or its staff Students are responsible for ensuring that they have a current valid medical certificate before embarking on any solo flights Emergency Drills Emergency drills are to be taught and refreshed as follows: Emergency Drills are introduced during Phase 2. In Exercise 14c - Circuit Emergency Procedures, the Student shall be taught the correct course of action in the event of each of the Phase 2 emergencies (as designated in the Emergency & Abnormal Procedures Checklist) occurring in the circuit. Students shall then demonstrate the ability to complete a selection of these drills during Progress Test 2 and explain the required actions for those simulated emergencies not flown Pre-solo cross country qualifying flight Prior to attempting a solo cross country qualifying flight, the student shall already be current and well versed with emergency procedures. Instructors shall discuss and refresh the most likely emergency drills that might be encountered with the student. These shall include as a minimum: Precautionary off airfield landing technique (Engine Failure & Engine Fire); Diversion; Practice Forced landing; Governor Failure. However instructors must take care to balance the need to refresh drills against heightening the student s anxiety levels unnecessarily Emergency Drills will be thoroughly revised during Phase 3 in preparation for the Dummy Test in Progress Check 3. During phase 3, the instructor will brief the student to expect simulated emergencies during the revision phases. Instructors shall always ensure that the helicopter is in a safe configuration to simulate an emergency and will initiate the drill with the words August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 23 of 70

25 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual The Company sub-contracts the majority of theoretical knowledge to an approved online TK provider as detailed in the appendices. This system maintains an online record of time spent by an individual student on each subject and modules/progress tests completed. In addition the Company provides ground school and recommends further self-study as detailed in Part 4 Appendices. Before requesting to take an exam, a student shall have completed the relevant modules of the online training and the required groundschool elements. Before recommending a student to take an exam, a qualified Flying Instructor must verify the above and complete and sign the relevant columns i.e. Online Modules Verified, Date Groundschool Completed, Recommended for Test by (Instructor Name) in the TK Study & Examinations Record Form contained in Part 4 Appendix 14. (b) Theoretical Knowledge Examinations Theoretical Examinations must be completed in accordance with the requirements specified in FCL.025 b) and c) or as otherwise from time to time specified by the Authorities. Examinations will be administered and progress recorded by instructors using the TK Study & Examinations Record Form contained in Part 4 Appendix 14 i. The theoretical knowledge examinations will be set when all relevant theoretical knowledge instruction has been completed and the student has been recommended to take the exam. ii. The examination will be completed under the supervision of a Ground Examiner approved by the competent authority for the purpose. A designated individulator shall ensure that the student is segregated from others and does not receive outside assistance. iii. Examination papers are kept in a lockable cabinet which can be accessed only by the nominated custodian or his deputy. iv. Prior to the papers being removed from the cabinet, a room will be prepared for the exam. The trainee will not be permitted to take any mobile phones, text books or unallowable aids into the examination room. v. Once the invigilator is satisfied that the room and student are ready then he will issue the paper and blank answer sheet. The instructions to students will be read through and, following the student being satisfied, the start and finish times will be noted and the exam will commence with the invigilator in the room. vi. Should a student have any issues during the exam then they are to gain the invigilator s attention and discuss the problem in a manner that does not affect any other students. vii. Should a student have to leave the room (to use the toilet, fetch an overlooked piece of equipment etc) then they must be accompanied so far as is practical by the invigilator or a person deemed suitable by the invigilator. viii. When the finish time is reached, the invigilator will remove all paperwork associated with the exam and mark it in a safe office. ix. The examination is closed book and no reference material of any kind is to be used other than that provided with the examination paper Authorisation for Test (a) PPL Skill Test In accordance with FCL.030(b) it is the responsibility of the ATO to recommend a student for the PPL Skill Test.

26 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual by the Head of Training or other authorised person. This certificate may not be signed until: All training is complete The student has signed the final progress test checklist The student has passed all of the theoretical knowledge examination (b) Theoretical Knowledge Examinations Examinations will be administered using the TK Study & Examinations Record Form contained in Part 4 Appendix Test Reports & Records The student s TK Study & Examinations Record Form will be updated with the outcome of each examination sitting. All completed examination papers will be kept in a separate file under the student s name which will be retained in a separate locked cabinet and which is accessible only to authorised custodians. The PPL Skill Test Form 1172, will be presented to the PPL Examiner for completion and submission to the Authorities following the completion of the Skills Test Examination Re-sit Procedures In the event of an examination being failed, the student s TK Study & Examination Form will be updated to that effect and the student will be advised how to proceed with regard to completion within the required timescale and sittings limitations as stated in FCL.025 or as from time to time otherwise specified by the Authorities. The student will then be required to revise the subject material and retake progress tests before requesting a resit. An instructor will conduct a verbal test of the student s knowledge before recommending them for a resit. 1.9 Training Effectiveness Identification of Unsatisfactory Progress Instructors should constantly assess student progress. If an Instructor has concerns about a student s capabilities, these should be raised with the student immediately and a note to that effect placed on the student s record. If a student has completed more than 10 hours flying training but is not, in the opinion of the Instructor, making adequate progress, a three way conversation between the Head of Training, the student and the Instructor should take place to explain where the deficiencies lie and advise the estimated number of hours of further training necessary to reach the required standard. A plan to correct the deficiencies should be formulated and a copy is to be retained in the student s flight training records Actions to Correct Unsatisfactory Progress After re-briefing and re-training, the relevant exercises should be repeated. Should the student continue to perform unsatisfactorily, the Head of Training will issue a written warning to that effect. The Head of Training and the student will then discuss the situation and agree a way forward. Should a change of instructor be considered advantageous, the Head of Training will arrange for an alternative instructor to continue the training. The position will be reviewed after each lesson. If student performance improves, the Head of Training will be responsible for identifying any deficiencies in training which may have led to unsatisfactory performance Reporting & Documentation Details of the debriefing and subsequent discussions and the action plan shall be recorded on the Student Record Sheet together with copies of any written communication with the student.

42 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual 2.2 Air Exercise Reference List For an abbreviated Air Exercise List, see the table contained in Section Course Structure Phases of Training The course is divided into three phases, each terminating in a Progress Test as follows: PPL(H) Phase Exercises Min. Hours Completion b 3 25c-26, Emergency/abnormal Procedures & Revision 24 Progress Test 1 15 Progress Test 2 6 Progress Test Flight exercises will normally be taught in the order detailed at paragraph above, which ensures that they are taught in the most suitable learning sequence. If deviation from the normal order is necessary due, for example, to weather or aircraft unserviceability, the circumstances are to be detailed in the student s training record Night Flying (Ex 31a&b) are optional exercises which may be conducted where the student has completed all other exercises to the required standard in less than the minimum hours. In practice this is seldom achievable, but where Night Training is given, it must be conducted in accordance with the Limitations and Procedures contained in the Company Operations Manual, Section 3.7. Such training will not lead to a night qualification, since that is a separate course Having completed all the Air Exercises in the Syllabus, the student will embark on series of sorties to ensure that the required Awareness Training (Appendix 6B) and Emergency & Abnormal Procedures (Appendix 10) have all been covered. The student must be able to carry out a practical demonstration of the required procedure (or by discussion in the case of items so designated) to the standard required of a PPL (H) holder. The duration and number of these sorties will be at the discretion of the Instructor until they are satisfied that the Student has reached the standard required to attempt Progress Test 3 and be recommended for test Integration of Syllabi Instructors shall take care to cross relate theoretical knowledge to flying training wherever possible. It is important that the student is familiar with the normal operation of systems before learning emergency procedures associated with that system s failure. Consequently Instructors must ensure that they teach normal operations before addressing system failures Student Progress Before progressing from one phase of training to the next a student must have: (a) Completed all of the flight exercises to a satisfactory standard (b) Completed at least the minimum hours indicated at paragraph above (c) Passed the relevant Progress Test August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 42 of 70

43 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual 2.4 Instructional Methods Pre-flight Briefings Each flight exercise, whether dual or solo, is to be preceded by a thorough pre-flight briefing. The student should be left in no doubt as to his responsibilities during the flight and the order in which exercises are to be taught / practised. In Phase 3 of the course, the student should be able to brief the instructor on the current meteorological and AIS information Post-flight Discussion The student should be debriefed as soon as practicable after each flight. The debriefing must match the subsequent entry in the student s training record, which the student is expected to sign Adherence to Syllabus Instructors are to give instruction in accordance with the flight training syllabus in this Part and the theoretical knowledge syllabus at Paragraph 4. It is essential that instruction is standardised to avoid confusion if the student should fly with more than one instructor. Any examples of a lack of standardisation are to be brought to the attention of the Head of Training Authorisation for Solo Flight Students are to be authorised for solo flights only after they have received a thorough pre-flight briefing from the authorising instructor. Flight instructors with restricted privileges may authorise solo students only in the presence of the supervising FI nominated by the ATO for this purpose. 2.5 Progress Tests Progress Test 1 Progress Test 1 is a test of the student s ability to fly the aircraft safely and to a standard suitable to be allowed to fly as PIC. The test is conducted by the student s allocated Flying Instructor and must be passed before the student is authorised for the first solo flight. The content of PT1 is detailed in the report form, an example of which is contained in Appendix Progress Test 2 Progress Test 2 is a test of the student s ability to conduct safely a cross-country flight under VFR and to complete other flight manoeuvres with an acceptable degree of accuracy. The test is conducted by an experienced unrestricted Flying Instructor nominated by the Head of Training and must be passed before the student is authorised for the first solo cross-country. The Content of PT2 is detailed in the report form, a copy of which is at Appendix Progress Test 3 Progress Test 3 is designed to ensure that the student can complete all of the relevant exercises to the standard required at the PPL Skill Test. PT3 must be passed before a recommendation is made, in accordance with paragraph above, for a student to attempt the skill test. The test is conducted by an experienced unrestricted Flying Instructor, nominated by the Head of Training, who must also be authorised to sign the recommendation for test. The Content of PT3 is detailed in the report form, a copy of which is at Appendix Nomination of Examiners Progress tests may be conducted by any instructor and form an integral part of the flight instruction and the flight time is included in the total time for the course. Progress tests should be recorded by the student as dual flight time and not as P1/s or PICUS. An instructor who has given a student PPL instruction or a Progress test may not act as flight examiner for that student s PPL Skills Test. August 2015 Version 4 Replacing PPL EASA 3 Page 43 of 70

44 Part 3 PPL (H) Training Manual Conduct of Progress Tests Progress test schedules are contained in Part 4 Appendix 9. As a progress test forms part of the training process, instructors must endeavour to conduct the test in an informal and constructive manner. For Phases 1 & 2 all manoeuvres should be conducted safely and the student should demonstrate good airmanship and captaincy. Verbal prompts from the instructor are permitted but physical intervention should not be necessary. For the Phase 3 test, no prompting should be necessary and the individual manoeuvres should be carried out by the student to the standard expected of a PPL holder. The test tolerances as published from time to time by the Authorities in AMC2 FCL.235 should be applied. Where students fail to meet the required standard on a Progress Check, the checking instructor shall debrief the student and then separately conduct a debrief including the Head of Training, the course instructor and where appropriate the student. The purpose of such debrief being to examine the underlying reasons and identify any gaps in training and any remedial training or that might be considered necessary for the student to improve their performance. In cases where the course instructor has a restricted rating, the Head of Training will assess the standards applied by the restricted instructor and provide feedback Documentation Examples of progress test report forms are shown in the Part 4 Appendix Instructor Standardisation Training As a small non-complex operation, the Company instructors work closely together with the Head of Training who are able to liaise closely. The standardization procedures contained in Section 4 of the Company Operations Manual are deemed adequate to standardize unrestricted Flying Instructors to conduct training or progress checks on any course for which they are qualified to teach. Restricted Instructors will be closely monitored and mentored by the Head of Training. Where course have been principally conducted by a restricted Flying Instructor the Progress Check 3 should be conducted by the Head of Training or the Deputy Head of Training to ensure a suitable standard has been achieved before recommending the student for test. Verbal feedback must be given to the restricted Flying Instructor on the standards achieved by the student with any advice for future reference.
