BEHAVIOURAL MARKERS AND OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOURS — ATQP & EBT
(b) Behavioural markers in ATQP are observable behaviours that contribute to superior or substandard performance within a flight (including pre-flight and post-flight duties).
(c) A good behavioural marker:
(1) describes a specific, observable behaviour, not an attitude or personality trait, with clear definition (enactment of skills or knowledge is shown in behaviour);
(2) has demonstrated a causal relationship to performance outcome, without necessarily being present in all situations, and with its appropriateness possibly depending on context;
(3) uses simple phraseology; and
(4) describes a clear concept.
(d) The characteristics of good behavioural marker systems are:
(1) validity: in relation to performance outcome;
(2) reliability: instructor or examiner concordance (inter-rater reliability), internal consistency;
(3) sensitivity: in relation to levels of performance;
(4) transparency: the pilots receiving the training or checking understand the performance criteria against which they are being rated; availability of reliability and validity data;
(5) usability: easy to train, simple framework, easy to understand, domain-appropriate language, sensitive to rater (i.e. examiner, instructor) workload, easy to observe;
(6) ability to provide a focus for training goals and needs; and
(7) minimal overlap between components.
(e) For EBT mixed implementation, the operator may refer to the Annex I definitions of ‘behaviour’ and ‘observable behaviour’ which include the concept of behavioural marker in ATQP. In other words, the EBT OBs may be used as behavioural markers under ATQP.
ATQP behavioural markers are observable behaviours affecting flight performance. Good markers are specific, causal, simple, and clear. Systems need validity, reliability, sensitivity, transparency, usability, training-fo
