Part FCL ANNEX I - Flight Crew Licencing

CREDITING
Applicants with prior experience as PIC may be credited with an amount of hours to meet the
requirement of 150 hours of flight time of Appendix 3, Part E, point (3)(a). The amount of credited hours
should be decided by the ATO where the applicant takes the training course on the basis of a pre-entry
flight test, but in any case, should have been completed only in one aircraft category other than
aeroplane.
THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE
(b) The 250 hours of instruction, which also cover the Area 100 KSA, may include in suitable
proportions:
(1) classroom work;
(2) lessons;
(3) tutorials;
(4) demonstrations, including those supported by demonstration equipment;
(5) exercises carried out as groups or individuals and based on pre-flight and en-route
planning, communications, presentations and projects;
(6) exercises that use demonstration equipment or training devices;
(7) directed study including workbook exercises or assignments;
(8) aerodromes or aviation industry field trips;
(9) computer-based training and e-learning elements;
(10) progress tests, Area 100 KSA assessments and mental maths test(s); and
(11) other training methods, media and tools approved by the competent authority.
Approved distancelearning (correspondence) courses may also be offered as part of the
course. The minimum amount of classroom instruction, as required by ORA.ATO.305,
may include all of the above except item (b)(9).
FLYING TRAINING
(c) The following flight time is suggested for the flying training:
(1) visual flight training: suggested flight time
(i) Exercise 1:
- preflight operations: mass and balance determination, aeroplane
inspection and servicing.
(ii) Exercise 2: 0:45 hours
- takeoff, traffic pattern,
- approach and landing,
- use of checklist, collision avoidance and checking procedures.
(iii) Exercise 3: 0:45 hours
- traffic patterns:
- simulated engine failure during and after takeoff.
(iv) Exercise 4: 1:00 hours
- maximum performance (short field and obstacle clearance)
- takeoffs and shortfield landings.
(v) Exercise 5: 1:00 hours
- crosswind takeoffs,
- landings and goarounds.
(vi) Exercise 6: 0:45 hours
- Arresting divergence of the aeroplane from intended flight path,
Preventing flight at airspeeds inappropriate for the (intended flight)
conditions, High airspeed (including flight at relatively high airspeed),
Steep turns Noselow attitudes at various bank angles (including spiral
dive).
(vii) Exercise 7: 0:45 hours
- Arresting divergence of the aeroplane from intended flight path,
Preventing flight at airspeeds inappropriate for the (intended flight)
conditions, slow flight, nosehigh attitudes at various bank angles, spin
avoidance, stall events in the following configurations:
- takeoff configuration,
- clean configuration, and
- landing configuration.
(viii) Exercise 8: 10:00 hours
- crosscountry flying
- using DR and radio navigation aids;
- flight planning by the applicant;
- filing of ATC flight plan;
- evaluation of weather briefing documentation, NOTAM, etc.;
- R/T procedures and phraseology;
- positioning by radio navigation aids;
- operation to, from and transiting controlled aerodromes, compliance with
ATS procedures for VFR flights, simulated radio communication failure,
