X. Flight Training Performance Standards

A. Flight Training—critique of PT performance during scenario completion is primarily the PT’s responsibility, with the Instructor ensuring that the PT reviews all flight deficiencies in the post-flight debrief. Each scenario sub-activity (task) will be evaluated and both PT and Instructor should agree on the desired PT outcome as indicated in the EC225LP Task / Flight Matrix at the end of this document. In the event there is a dispute between PT and Instructor, the Instructor’s evaluation will be used. Prior to the end-of-course flight evaluation, the PT and Instructor will discuss and reach a consensus on the PT’s readiness for the evaluation. The Training Center Evaluator or designee will conduct the end-of-course flight evaluation which will be evaluated based on Practical Test Standards criteria as defined in the current FAA FAA-S-8081-20 PTS. A FITS Learner Center Grade of “Perform” indicates the PT can fly the maneuver to PTS standards.

I. EC225LP Recurrent - Training Guide This document is only one aspect of the total training program. This volume incorporates curriculum for the EC225LP recurrent training program; specific curriculum segments and various subject modules supporting those segments. The definitions for curriculum segments and course syllabi, as used in this manual, may be found under the curriculums section. While the curriculum gives guidance as to the general areas of study required by the student, the course syllabi provide detailed information on the subjects to be presented. Modular Training is the concept of program development in which logical subdivisions of training programs are developed, reviewed, approved, and modified as individual units. Curriculum segments and modules may be used in multiple curriculums. The modular approach allows great flexibility in program development and reduces the administrative workload in the development and approval of these programs.
