  • Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) Training
  • MPL Training - Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Phases

WHO SHOULD ENROL?

  • Experienced airline pilots, seeking instructor privileges.
  • Pilots aiming to become Simulator Instructors (SFI).
  • Professionals transitioning into training or examining roles.

TRI/SFI INITIAL COURSE

OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE

The objective of TRI/SFI course is to train experience pilots to the standards required in order to be able to train themselves others for:

In the case of the TRI for Single-Pilot Aeroplanes:
  • The issue, revalidation, and renewal of Type Ratings for Single-Pilot high performance complex aeroplanes when the applicant seeks privileges to operate in Single-Pilot operations.
In the case of the TRI for Multi-Pilot Aeroplanes:
  • The issue, revalidation and renewal of type ratings for:
  • a. Multi-Pilot Aeroplanes.
  • b. Single-Pilot high performance complex aeroplanes when the applicant seeks privileges to operate in Multi-Pilot operations.
  • MCC training.
  • The MPL course on the basic, intermediate and advanced phases.
Note: Dento ATO is currently approved to deliver TRI/SFI Courses on the A320, A330, A340, A350, A380, B737 300-900, B777 and B787 aircraft.

PRE-REQUISITES

An applicant for a TRI certificate shall:
  • Hold a CPL, MPL or ATPL pilot licence on the applicable aircraft category.
For a TRI(MPA) certificate:
  • Have completed 1500hrs flight time as a pilot on Multi-Pilot Aeroplanes.
  • Have completed, within the 12 months preceding the date of application, 30 route sectors, including take-offs and landings, as PIC or co-pilot on the applicable aeroplane type, of which 15 sectors may be completed in an FFS representing that type.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

TRI/SFI COURSE

1. The TRI training course shall include, at least:
  • a. 25 Hrs of teaching and learning.
  • b. 10 Hrs of technical training, including revision of technical knowledge, the preparation of lesson plans and the development of classroom / simulator instructional skills.
  • c. 5 Hrs of flight instruction on the appropriate aircraft or a simulator representing that aircraft for single-pilot aircraft and 10 hrs for multi-pilot aircraft or a simulator representing that aircraft.
2. Applicants holding or having held an instructor certificate shall be fully credited towards the requirement of (1.a.).
3. An applicant for a TRI certificate who holds an SFI certificate for the relevant type shall be fully credited towards the requirements of this paragraph for the issue of a TRI certificate restricted to flight instruction in simulators.
  • 25 Hrs “Teaching and Learning” is taught in a classroom over 4 days – this part can be conducted separately from Part 2 & 3.
  • 10 Hrs “Technical Training” is also been taught in the classroom over 2 days – this part needs to be conducted together, or just prior to Part 3.
  • 10 Hrs Multi-Pilot flight instructions in the simulator, and will need to comply as in one of the two cases as here-below:
  • 1. Two trainees training together, needing a total of 10hrs, i.e. 5hrs each; or
  • 2. One trainee training alone, needing a total of 10 hrs.
  • At the end of Part 3, each trainee will need 2 hrs AoC in a simulator.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It's always highly recommended that two trainees train together for their TRI/SFI course, allowing pilots to practice both the PF and PM roles.

When two pilots train together, the cost of each pilot for Part 3, is based only on 5hrs FFS, instead of 10hrs.

TRI & SFI REFRESHER SEMINAR

EASA & UK CAA

Dento Group holds EASA, UK CAA Approved Training Organisation (ATO) certificates, and has approvals to conduct “Initial TRI/SFI Courses” and “TRI/SFI Refresher Seminars” – refer to “CY.ATO.005” and “GBR.ATO.0559” certificates.  In view of our approvals, we have created a Single Refresher Seminar during which we also cover the differences between EASA and the UK CAA. As such this course is for pilots who require to either Revalidate or Renew their TRI or SFI Certificates.
The refresher training for revalidation or renewal of the TRI and SFI certificates should be provided as a seminar. As such the seminar is held in the form of either, e-learning, two-way online meetings (teleconferencing) or face-to-face.
The content of the refresher seminar for revalidation is complying to the AMCs (AMC1 FCL.940.TRI(a)(1)(ii), (a)(2)(ii), (b)(1)(ii), (b)(2)(ii); FCL.940.SFI(a)(2), (e)(1)).
