• Demonstrate effective communication techniques using standard phraseology and protocols.
• Analyze and manage threats and errors during all phases of flight.
• Implement standard operating procedures for normal, abnormal, and emergency situations.
• Evaluate and enhance situational awareness through cross-checking and monitoring techniques.
• Demonstrate leadership and followership skills to maintain a positive cockpit culture.

Target Audience

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential for applying theoretical knowledge in realistic multi-crew scenarios. Learners will participate in simulated flight exercises, checklist drills, and emergency procedures to develop coordination, communication, and decision-making skills in a controlled environment.

Practical Activities

• Crew Coordination and Communication Drills — Learners practice standard phraseology, crew briefings, and coordination in a flight simulator or mock cockpit setting. (4h)
• Checklist and SOP Execution — Learners perform normal and non-normal checklists, adhering to SOPs, with emphasis on crew interaction and cross-checking. (4h)
• Threat and Error Management Scenarios — Learners handle simulated threats and errors (e.g., weather, system faults, communication breakdowns) using TEM strategies. (4h)
• Emergency and Abnormal Procedure Simulations — Learners manage simulated emergencies (engine failure, fire, decompression) with full crew coordination and use of checklists. (6h)
• Full-Flight Simulation and Assessment — Learners conduct a complete flight from pre-flight to shutdown, integrating all multi-crew competencies, followed by debrief and assessment. (6h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
