knowledge instruction only, in which case the HT of that ATO should supervise that
part of the course.
(2) The hours required for the theoretical knowledge instruction for the IR following the
competency-based training route should be divided between the subjects and
include the application of threat and error management (TEM) as based on the
ATO’s systems course design and agreed upon between the competent authority
and the ATO.
An approved course, which includes the application of threat and error management, may
contain in suitable proportions:
(i) classroom work;
(ii) lessons;
(iii) tutorials;
(iv) demonstrations, including those supported by demonstration equipment;
(v) exercises carried out as groups or individuals and based on pre-flight and en-
