GM1
FCL.015(a) Application and issue, revalidation and renewal of licences,
ratings and certificates
ED Decision 2018/011/R
The
required level of competency of a student pilot is assessed by observing the
following:
(a) application of knowledge;
(b) application of regulations and procedures;
(c) communication;
(d) aeroplane flight path management –
automation;
(e) aeroplane flight path management – manual
control;
(f) leadership and teamwork;
(g) problem-solving and decision-making;
(h) situational awareness (SA) and information
management; and
(i) workload management.
The
competencies referred to in points (b) and (e) are particularly relevant
during the training. This means that the focus is on observing the student
pilot performing take-offs and landings in accordance with the standard
operating procedures (SOPs) and recommended techniques of the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM).
The
competency elements and sub-elements stipulated in GM1 to Appendix 5 for take-off and landing provide additional guidance for instructors
and student pilots.
Consistency
and repeatability of all the competencies above is achieved if the student
pilot is able to perform at least three successive take-offs and landings
demonstrating the required observable behaviours.
The
take-off and landing training in an aeroplane should include at least one
go-around. Due consideration should be given to environmental conditions when
evaluating competency.
EASA pilot training requires competency assessment during take-off and landing, focusing on knowledge, regulations, communication, flight path management (manual and automated), leadership, problem-solving, situational awareness, and workload management. Instructors should observe SOP adherence and OEM techniques, ensuring consistent performance over multiple take-offs and landings, including go-arounds, considering environmental factors.
