AMC1 SFCL.345 FI(S) – Assessment of competence ED Decision 2020/004/R GENERAL (a) The format and application form for the assessment of competence are determined by the competent authority. (b) The sailplane that is used for the assessment should meet the requirements for training aircraft. (c) The FE(S) acts as the PIC. (d) During the skill test the applicant occupies the seat normally occupied by the instructor. The FE(S) functions as the ‘student’. The applicant is required to explain the relevant exercises and to demonstrate their conduct to the ‘student’, where appropriate. Thereafter, the ‘student’ executes the same manoeuvres which can include typical mistakes of inexperienced students. The applicant is expected to correct mistakes orally or, if necessary, by intervening physically. (e) All relevant exercises should be completed within a period of 6 months. However, all exercises should, where possible, be completed on the same day. In principle, failure in any exercise requires a retest covering all exercises, with the exception of those that may be retaken separately. The FE(S) may terminate the assessment at any stage if they consider that a retest is required.
