GENERIC STANDARDISATION COURSE STRUCTURE

TRE / SFE

In view of the above Dento’s ATO TRE/SFE Course is structured as follows:
Note: Each sim session is 1hr each. In view that this is a generic course, the simulator training is not necessarily conducted on the same aircraft type as the one that the applicant is seeking to be qualified as an examiner.
After the successful completion of the above “TRE/SFE Standardisation Course”, further practice under supervision must be programmed with a qualified examiner prior to the Examiner Assessment of Competence (EAoC).
To the effect of the above, Dento ATO recommends the practice of minimum 4 x skill tests and proficiency checks on the specific aircraft which the applicants seek to be qualified – in order to maintain momentum, any delays must be kept to a minimum.
  • Ground School
  • Written Exam
  • 1st Simulator
  • 2nd & 3rd Simulator
  • 4th + 5th Simulator
  • 6th Simulator
  • Check Course Washup
EAoC on the Specific A/C Type which the applicant is seeking to be qualified in.
The candidate TRE/SFE, shall demonstrate their competence to a Flight Ops Inspector (FOI) from the competent authority or a Senior Examiner (SE) specifically authorised to do so by the competent authority responsible for the examiner’s certificate through the conduct of a skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence in the examiner role for which privileges are sought, including briefing, conduct of the skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence, and assessment of the person to whom the test, check or assessment is given, debriefing and recording documentation.
