Section 4 must be completed in an ME aircraft, or an FFS or FNPT II simulating an ME aircraft.

Which items are included in Section 3 (Flight) of the FI assessment?

Section 3 includes: Arrangement of demo, Synchronisation of speech with demo, Correction of faults, Aircraft handling, Instructional technique, General airmanship and safety, and Positioning and use of airspace.

What is the role of the examiner during the test lecture part of the FI assessment?

The examiner is one of the 'student(s)' to whom the applicant gives the test lecture under test conditions.

Which section of the FI assessment includes 'Student participation' as an evaluation item?

'Student participation' is evaluated in both Section 2 (Pre-flight briefing) and Section 5 (Post-flight de-briefing).

What is the content of Section 1 of the FI assessment?

Section 1 is the oral theoretical knowledge examination part, covering nine items: Air law, Aircraft general knowledge, Flight performance and planning, Human performance and limitations, Meteorology, Navigation, Operational procedures, Principles of flight, and Training administration.

Which section of the FI assessment is specifically for multi-engine aircraft and what does it include?

Section 4 (ME exercises) is specifically for FI for ME aircraft. It includes: actions following an engine failure shortly after take-off, SE approach and go-around, and SE approach and landing.

What are the evaluation items in Section 2 (Pre-flight briefing) of the FI assessment?

Section 2 includes: Visual presentation, Technical accuracy, Clarity of explanation, Clarity of speech, Instructional technique, Use of models and aids, and Student participation.

What are the evaluation items in Section 5 (Post-flight de-briefing) of the FI assessment?

5.2	Technical accuracy
5.3	Clarity of explanation
5.4	Clarity of speech
5.5	Instructional technique

(b) Section 1, the oral theoretical knowledge examination part of the assessment of competence, is for all FI and is subdivided into two parts:

(1) The applicant is required to give a lecture under test conditions to other ‘student(s)’, one of whom will be the examiner. The test lecture is to be selected from items of section 1. The amount of time for preparation of

the test lecture is agreed upon beforehand with the examiner. Appropriate literature may be used by the applicant. The test lecture should not exceed 45 minutes;

(2) The applicant is tested orally by an examiner for knowledge of items of section 1 and the ‘core instructor competencies: teaching and learning’ content given in the instructor courses.

(c) Sections 2, 3 and 5 are for all FIs. These sections comprise exercises to demonstrate the ability to be an FI (for example instructor demonstration exercises) chosen by the examiner from the flight syllabus of the FI training courses. The applicant is required to demonstrate FI abilities, including briefing, flight instruction and de-briefing.

(d) Section 4 comprises additional instructor demonstration exercises for an FI for ME aircraft. This section, if applicable, is done in an ME aircraft, or an FFS or FNPT II simulating an ME aircraft. This section is completed in addition to sections 2, 3 and 5.
