Threats

Misunderstanding about the rationale behind the concept

Inaccurate statements in media reports Lack of comprehension Incompetence

Ignorance

MPL footprint

Best industry practice possible now… Concentrates on core competencies…. Considers advanced automation…. Prioritizes interpersonal skills… Is competency based….

Prague, 10th November 20098

the Competency Assessment System

conisting of 4 engridients:

• the training task (in the lesson description/grade sheet)• 9 KSA elements with performance criteria • levels of performance (grades) • the norm-level of performance (on the grade sheet)

……..Is the basis of the e-student monotoring system

Prague, 10th November 2009EATS9

The pricipal KSA elements

Communication Situational awareness Leadership and teamwork Workload managment Problem solving and decision making Transfer of knowledge Application of procedures Flight managment, guidance and automation Manual aircraft control

Prague, 10th November 200910

The pricipal KSA elements

These 9 terminal KSAs and their respective performance criteria are the cornerstones for:

the selection process of future airline pilots, for the continuous assessment during MPL, during the performance assessment in Evidence

Based Training and checking, and

the definition of a global instructor qualification

CLARIFICATIONS

Reaction on pilot shortage in Asia !!! WRONG Cost and time saving!!! WRONG butContribution to enhance training quality =safety in view of

further growth of global civil aviation.

We can not afford the accident rate to stay the same The MPL is Quality driven

Further CLARIFICATIONS

How many real airplane hours? Single or twin engine? Solo flying required? Upset recovery training? FSTD definition for phase 2 and phase 3? Course duration? Upgrade requirements?

……..all questions are answered in the FAQ hardcopy handout

EASA MPL Review Board, reestablished

continued JAR-FCL 1.535, to facilitate seemless communication and exchange of experience during the implementation phase of MPL

Kick off meeting was on 20.10.09 at EASA in CGN

Next official board meeting planed early 2010

Our Mission

to ensure a globaly standardized & harmonized implementation of the MPL

and

to overcome the regional pilot licence patchwork

Outlook

In 2014 the majority of ab-initio airline pilots will be

trained according to this new competency based training concept provided that the international airline training- and regulating community is able to facilitate a globally harmonized and standardized implementation ….and avoid misuse.

The “competency based“ approach (PANS TRG, Chapter. 2)

By means of a task analysis the duties of a multi-crew in modern jet transport operation where defined according to a flight profile and broken down to nine competency units

The units were further broken down to competency elements

The elements have been further split up into performence criteria (as observable behaviour), each criteria provided with a condition statement, a standard statement and a action statement

18 Prague, 10th November 2009EATS

The “competency based“ approach (PANS TRG, Chapter. 2)

This leads to the curriculum by defining terminal training objectives, mastery tests, training modules and devices

Same aeronautical knowledge requirements as ATPL

All of this is summarized in the MPL Training Matrix (PANS TRG, Chapter 3-Appendix A)
