26 NVIS aircrew member training course approval

26.1 CASA may only approve an NVIS aircrew member training course which is designed to achieve at least the competency outcome described in subclause 26.2.

26.2 At the end of the course, the trainee is able to perform the duties of an NVIS aircrew member to safely and effectively assist an NVIS pilot to take off, fly and navigate en route across country and descend, reconnoitre and land or hover to a HLS-NVIS basic devoid of HLS lighting or surrounding cultural lighting using NVIS.

Note 1 It is recognised that many operators will have a requirement for the aircrew member to fulfil other duties outside the provision of basic scan sector observation, for example, aided winching, or advanced cockpit duties (as detailed in the CAAP) while aided. As these competencies are not covered by the stated training competency outcome above, those operators should add instructional sequences and flight time to these basic minimums to achieve those competencies.

Note 2 An example of an NVIS aircrew member training course meeting this competency is provided in CAAP 174-1 (0).
