General Flashcards
What does “Placement Evaluation”
Placement evaluation is concerned with the pupils entry performance and typically focus on… does the pupil possess the general knowledge and skills needed to begin the planned instruction?”
Typically used by a CFI assess a new student into the organization.
What does “Formative Evaluation” mean?
Formative evaluation is used to monitor learning progress during instruction. Its purpose is to provides continuous feedback to both pupil and teacher concerning learning successes and failures. This type of evolution is an on going process.
It is used throughout the students training, during every instructional period.
Since formative evaluation is directed toward improving leaving and instruction, the results are typically NOT used for assigning course grades.
What does “Diagnostic Evaluation” mean?
The main aim of diagnostic evaluation is to determine the cause of persistent learning problems and to formulate a plan for remedial action.
This type of evaluation is used by flight instructors to determine why a student is having problems executing a TASK, for example, losing height in a turn.
What does “Summative Evaluation” mean?
Is used primarily… for certifying pupil mastery of the intended learning outcomes.
Used by flight examiners to asses the candidates performance against stated minimum standards.
Wherever possible, summative evaluation should be carried out by an independent examiner (not directly involved in the candidates training).
How should PPL flight test be logged in log books for student/examiner?
If it is a pass, both may log it as PiC, however the examiner shall not log it as instructing.
How should PPL BFR flight test be logged in log books for instructor?
PiC and can be logged as instructing.
What should the examiner brief the student on before the flight test to minimize the risk of misunderstanding?
a. Ask the candidate to verbalize all checklists and nominated speeds.
b. Brief the candidate on the flight format.
c. brief the candidate as to who is PiC.
e. Brief the candidate as to who will command ‘go around’ during forced landing exercises.
Reference FTSG PPL
What C of A for an aircraft is acceptable for license issue?
- Standard Category
- Special Category - LSA
- Special Category - Amateur built (where the candidate is the owner).
What are the balance requirements for PPL?
Flight with no more than 1/4 ball sustained deflection in slip or skid.
What is the maximum amount of attempts allowed for “unsatisfactory performance?”
The examiner may permit a second attempt at any (maximum 3) task(s) or elements(s) (other than critical items), provided that, on the opinion of the examiner, the safety of the aircraft was not compromised, the stranding of the license would not diminished or a clear misunderstanding of the examiners requirements occurred.
What are the prerequisites for sitting a PPL?
a. Have a logbook record of the requisite flight training and experience, and
b. hold appropriate current written examination credit(s), and
c. Have proof of their identity, and
d. be at least 17 years old, and
e. Hold a current medical certificate (DL9) issued in accordance with rule 44(1) of the Land Transport (Drivers Licensing) Rule or a class two medical certificate (or higher)as applicable..
Minimum requirements of an aircraft to be used for flight testing?
a. Fully functioning dual flight controls, and
b. those instruments essential to the maneuvers planned to be demonstrated during the flight visible to both pilots without excessive parallel error, and
c. at least three-point lap-and-sash harness, and
The candidate is required to provide adequate and private facilities for briefing prior to and after the flight test.
