What should sailplane FI(S) training include according to AMC1 SFCL.325?

Sailplane FI(S) training should be both theoretical and practical, with practical elements focusing on developing instructor skills, especially in teaching and assessing TEM.

Against what standards should the training and assessment of sailplane instructors be made?

The training and assessment of sailplane instructors should be made against specific performance standards related to various competencies.

What should a sailplane FI(S) instructor do when 'assessing trainee performance'?

The instructor should assess and encourage trainee self-assessment against competency standards, make assessment decisions, and provide clear feedback.

What does 'creating a climate conducive to learning' involve for a sailplane FI(S) instructor?

It involves establishing credentials, role modeling appropriate behavior, clarifying roles, stating objectives, and ascertaining and supporting the student pilot's needs.

What are some key competencies for sailplane FI(S) instructors?

Key competencies include preparing resources, creating a climate conducive to learning, presenting knowledge, integrating Human Factors and TEM, managing time, facilitating learning, assessing trainee performance, monitoring and reviewing progress, evaluating training sessions, and reporting outcomes.
