Introduction
Reason for this briefing
Students often show up for the training session with a poor preparation. Leading to a very slow progress, which has to be recovered later on during the training. Confusion about how to prepare properly, what is expected

We want to prevent this, increase training efficiency.

30hrs of FNPT II training

We have a tight training schedule.
In 30hrs, you have to learn the basics of VFR and IFR aircraft handling, IFR procedures and approaches. With only the Basic Flying Course as previous experience. We will continue the training where the BFC stopped and build up from what youve learned so far. IFR training is VERY DEMANDING. Even for the most skillful student, it is a lot of hard work to meet the standards. Dont think that the flight training will be easy.

We expect a lot from you!

How do we handle the IFR training?
This briefing is not to de-motivate you! It is meant to encourage you and to help you to study and prepare correctly for your missions. If you do well, you will have the maximum benefits from your training. Your efforts will pay off during the rest of the training. We know that in the mean time youre working hard for the ATP theory course. However consider the sim training as being equally important to the theoretical training.

How do we handle the IFR training?
Good motivation A positive attitude A lot of home study IFR TRAINING = 80% at home, 20% in the aircraft!

We dont have time in the sim to explain the very basics or what is clearly explained in the book. Be well prepared, than your instructor will be able to teach you as much as possible and make you a fine pilot!

The Mission General remarks

Learning
Prepare your missions well in advance Dont just read your manual, study, understand and chair fly! Learning has 4 levels: Root knowledge study by heart Understanding

Application ability to apply

Correlation Application is the minimum level you should achieve before showing up for the mission.

AIRLINE TRAINING CENTER, INC.

Learning
You can reach the level of application by first understanding what is in the manual, and afterwards do chair flying (see further in this briefing). During the (de-)briefing, we do not want to hear questions on the level of root knowledge. It is not the Instructors task to go through the manual with the student (root learning and understanding). For 80% of your questions, you will find an answer in you manuals! So please, first try to find an answer in the book. However, if something is unclear, dont hesitate. Ask the question.

Anticipate
Dont wait until the evening before the session to have a quick look into your manual. Study well in advance: if you dont understand certain parts, you still have some time left to ask the instructor well before the actual mission. Most of the IFR procedures (interceptions, holdings) require more than just a quick home study. You need many hours to understand and especially learn to apply these procedures (chair flying). Last minute changes in the schedule are possible, dont wait with preparing a mission until it is scheduled!

Importance of chair flying
What is chair flying? Let us use interceptions as an example. You can read the chapter interceptions in the IFR manual. You will learn the basic rules by heart (root knowledge). If you read it well, you will understand everything. But that doesnt mean you will be able to apply it yet. For this, you need to draw the RMI visualization of the different possibilities of interceptions on paper. Later, you can practice this on PC flight simulator. You have to make these drawings many times (each case at least 20 times) until it goes really fast. This is called chair flying.

How to prepare for a mission

Importance of chair flying
What is chair flying? (contd) The day you will perform interceptions for the first time in the FNPTII, you will already be able to apply it pretty well. Your instructor can then get you up to a much higher level of application and focus on the more advanced exercises. Another example of chair flying is learning the flows and checklists at home. More about that later when talking about the normal procedures.

How to prepare for a mission

During the training, you will encounter your limitations concerning multitasking and saturation (compare to the internal memory of a computer)

The saturation level is something you cant change, but by chair flying at home, you can increase your pilot ability!
The time you need for every individual task will decrease if you practice it by chair flying. In the end you will be able to do multiple and more difficult tasks simultaneously while flying (multi tasking).
(i.e. fly the aircraft in turbulent conditions, turn in the holding and prepare an approach at the same time).

Mission preparation
Training manual part 3, page III-15 and III-23 III-15: gives you a general outline. Start studying well in advance before the actual mission. Ex. Interceptions at M8, start to study this 1 week in advance at the latest! Ask previous promotions: how much time you need, how you can prepare yourself, etc.

Mission preparation (Contd)
III-23 Mission details For every mission, exercises. Study this bulletins, QRH, BFC, fly special patterns figures). check homework topics and air in detail (IFR/VFR manual including PPH, review long briefings!). Chair at home (example the vertical S

This is the absolute minimum to study for the mission. More details about the QRH and G1000 knowledge see later in the briefing. Review the topics from previous missions if required.

How to prepare for a mission

Mission preparation (Contd)
The completion standards give you a good idea of the level you should have by the end of the mission. Prepare your initial Com/Nav setup (check and study the departure clearance). Make sure you have the necessary (IFR) charts, airport charts with you. You received or will receive a folder from the student administrator with the charts for the US and Belgium. Prepare yourself in a professional way like an airline pilot.

The Mission General remarks

The QRH
During mission preparation, go through the QRH; what is applicable for the mission must be known. For the first 20 missions: Pitch power table: no single eng. settings or flapless pattern. Maneuvers: speeds, go-around. Normal procedures: see later in the briefing. Emergency procedures: not to be known for the first 20 missions. Patterns: normal pattern, all 2 engine IFR approaches. Limitations: airspeeds. W&B and performance: not to be known for the first 20 missions.

No mistakes. Know what you are doing. Know when to do a checklist. Use the exact phraseology and correct reply to each item. . .

The normal procedures
The flows and CL will initially be your main study task, you can expect it to take many evenings to study them! By mission 1, understand all flows, CL. Basics of execution. By mission 2: you must be able to execute all flows and CL. Mistakes and slow pace is acceptable.

By mission 3: few mistakes should can be made and the flows (and in flight CL) should be done at a good speed.
After mission 3: Fully up to standard. No mistakes, high speed. You should not be thinking about the items, it must go automatic.

AIRLINE TRAINING CENTER, INC.

The QRH
The normal procedures
How can you best study this? = CHAIR FLY! Put a picture (full scale) of the complete cockpit against your wall. Take a seat and sit in front of this picture. Go through the flight, do all flows and Checklists out loud. Make the hand movements. Do this over and over again. Create a disturbance while practicing (to simulate engine noise, ATC). Example: very loud music in your room. During any moment of the day, let your little sister or brother question you (i.e. ask for a CL, the speeds of a pattern) You must be able to answer immediately! If you can only do it slowly at home, you wont be able to do it in flight!

A beautiful and very useful tool.

Unfortunately, it does take time to learn the system!

In flight is NOT the time to figure it out. Use the G1000 Trainer.

Briefing
Be there 45 min in advance; the FI will be there at the latest 30 min in advance. For M20, be there 1hr in advance. If you are scheduled with 2 students for M20, be there together 1hr before the first M20. However, the missions will be flown separately. FNPT II Briefing room is in front of the B-737/200 FFS. The FI will review the briefing topics of the mission and check your preparation and home study. Present your training records to the FI (FTD phase and extra training record). Have your questions ready.
