AREA
AND ROUTE FAMILIARISATION TRAINING DELIVERY
When
developing the area and route familiarisation training, the operator may apply
the following methodology:
(a) Internal evidence
(1) Operator assessment by conducting an
operational risk evaluation according to the following criteria:
(i) terrain and minimum safe altitudes;
(ii) seasonal meteorological conditions;
(iii) meteorological, communication and air
traffic facilities, services and procedures;
(iv) search and rescue procedures where
available; and
(v) navigational facilities associated with
the area or route along which the flight is to take place.
(2) Operator-specific evidence gathered
through the safety management process in accordance with ORO.GEN.200.
(b) External evidence
(1) notices to airmen (NOTAMs);
(2) AIP.
(c) When selecting the method and tool,
operators should be driven by the objective of reaching the optimum in terms
of the desired outcome, which is the maximum possible knowledge increase. This
methodology intends that such selection is based on the type of the underlying
risks of a route / area as determined in accordance with (a) and (b) and the
learning objectives. For example: for the less complex areas or routes,
familiarisation by self-briefing with route documentation, or by means of
programmed instruction; and for the more complex areas or routes, in-flight
familiarisation as a pilot-in-command/commander or co-pilot under supervision
or an observer, or familiarisation in a flight simulation training device
(FSTD) using a database appropriate to the route concerned.
Pilot-in-command area and route familiarization requires operator risk assessments considering terrain, weather, facilities, and navigation. Evidence should be gathered internally through safety management and externally via NOTAMs/AIP. Training methods should match risk complexity, ranging from self-briefing to flight simulation or supervised flights, maximizing knowledge.
