GM3 ORO.FC.A.245 Alternative training and qualification programme ED Decision 2022/014/R BEHAVIOURAL MARKERS AND OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOURS — ATQP & EBT (b) Behavioural markers in ATQP are observable behaviours that contribute to superior or substandard performance within a flight (including pre-flight and post-flight duties). (c) A good behavioural marker: (1) describes a specific, observable behaviour, not an attitude or personality trait, with clear definition (enactment of skills or knowledge is shown in behaviour); (2) has demonstrated a causal relationship to performance outcome, without necessarily being present in all situations, and with its appropriateness possibly depending on context; (3) uses simple phraseology; and (4) describes a clear concept. (d) The characteristics of good behavioural marker systems are: (1) validity: in relation to performance outcome; (2) reliability: instructor or examiner concordance (inter-rater reliability), internal consistency; (3) sensitivity: in relation to levels of performance; (4) transparency: the pilots receiving the training or checking understand the performance criteria against which they are being rated; availability of reliability and validity data; (5) usability: easy to train, simple framework, easy to understand, domain-appropriate language, sensitive to rater (i.e. examiner, instructor) workload, easy to observe; (6) ability to provide a focus for training goals and needs; and (7) minimal overlap between components. (e) For EBT mixed implementation, the operator may refer to the Annex I definitions of ‘behaviour’ and ‘observable behaviour’ which include the concept of behavioural marker in ATQP. In other words, the EBT OBs may be used as behavioural markers under ATQP.
