G. FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM SEGMENT

1. The flight training curriculum segment outline is comprised of the following subject areas:

a. Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

b. Non-Normal Procedures
c. Flight Simulator Segment of the Proficiency Check (If Required)

2. CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE

a. Objective of Flight Training

To provide an opportunity for a Pilot to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to
perform the duties of Pilot-in-Command and includes instruction and practice of
maneuvers and procedures pertinent to the B-727. At the end of the flight training
curriculum, the Pilot will be able to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft and perform
the duties and responsibilities of the Pilot-in-Command. Crew Resource Management is
included as part of the flight training process, including, but not limited to such elements
as: Situational Awareness and the Error Chain, Synergy and Crew Concept, and
Workload Assessment and Time Management.

b. Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

Training modules will provide instruction to develop the skills to maneuver the aircraft
with and without the automatic flight control system. The Pilot will become proficient in
the use of Normal Checklists, standard operating procedures and precision approaches.

c. Flight Simulator Segment of The Proficiency Check (If Required)

Normally, the §61.58 Pilot Proficiency Evaluation is administered by a Training Center
Evaluator authorized to conduct §61.58 Pilot Proficiency Evaluations in the simulator.

d. Aircraft Segment of the Proficiency Check (If Required)

An applicant may choose to the entire §61.58 Pilot Proficiency Evaluation in the aircraft
rather than the flight simulator.

e. Completion Standards
The Pilot must perform all maneuvers and procedures required for a type rating to an
FAA Inspector or Training Center Evaluator in accordance with the Airline Transport Pilot
and Type Rating Practical Test Standards.

H. PROGRAMMED HOURS

1. Each flight simulator module is scheduled for the hours indicated in the following tables. An
additional 1.0-hour for briefing and 0.5 hour for debriefing is scheduled. The equipment exam (oral)
will be conducted during the 1.0 briefing periods preceding the simulator check.

Flight Simulator Segments PF PM Total Time

As a Crew (Hours) (Hours) (Hours)
Simulator Module No. 1 2.0 0.0 2.0

FLIGHT MODULE OUTLINES

The maneuvers listed in the following practice module indicate where the event is addressed. Instructors
are expected to tailor the events listed to fit the mission to be conducted. Events are not necessarily listed
in order of occurrence.

The Pilot-in Command proficiency check will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of 14
CFR Part 61.58 (d) (1)

The evaluator will ensure that the candidate is aware that only two hours will be dedicated to practice.
Should more than that one (2) hours be required, the simulator scheduled time may be extended or the
proficiency check rescheduled to provide adequate time for all of the proficiency events to be
accomplished.
