Appendix 1

Requirements for MP(A)L training course

1 Aptitude testing

  A student may commence a training course only if he or she is first assessed by a training organisation to have the aeronautical aptitude to complete the course.

2 Course delivery under stages of training and assessment plan

 2.1 A MP(A)L training course must be delivered in accordance with an approved training and assessment plan.

Note   Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 5.216, Multi-Crew Pilot (Aeroplane) Licence, contains guidance on obtaining approval of a training and assessment plan.

 2.2 The plan must divide the training course into the following stages which must be completed by a student in the following order:

(a) core;

(b) basic;

(c) intermediate;

(d) advanced. 

 2.3 The plan must:

(a) provide for an assessment of each student’s competency at the end of each stage; and

(b) require each student to achieve competency and pass a flight assessment for a stage before progressing to the next stage.

3 Compliance with the training and assessment plan

  A student may only attempt a MP(A)L flight test if he or she has completed all stages of the training and assessment plan, other than the take-offs and landings mentioned in clause 13.

4 Training and assessment plan content

 4.1 The training and assessment plan must include the following:

(a) the aeronautical knowledge syllabus set out in Appendix 5;

(b) the competency standards set out in Appendix 6;

(c) the elements and units of competency to be achieved in each stage as specified in the achievement records set out in Appendix 7;

(d) the flight assessments specified in Appendix 8;

(e) a statement of the minimum qualifications and experience the training organisation requires of:

 (i) the head of training; and

 (ii) each person who, for a stage, gives instruction or particular instruction, makes recommendations or conducts flight assessments;

Note   CAAP 5.216, Multi-Crew Pilot (Aeroplane) Licence, contains guidance on the minimum qualifications and experience of personnel, and the minimum requirements for aircraft and synthetic flight trainers, that CASA expects to find reflected in a training and assessment plan for a training course to be approved.
