Subject feedback

While the subject has been well handled by most candidates, there are areas that may require careful preparation, as follows:

  • Anatomy of the ear and eye
  • Visual illusions on approach
  • Physiological stress

On the topic of TEM, candidates should read ‘Teaching and assessing non-technical skills for single pilot operations' dated January 2017, in particular 'Definitions' and section 9, Threat and error management. The areas which require more careful attention are:

  • Undesired aircraft state (UAS)
  • Various classifications of threats and errors
  • Various categories of countermeasures
  • Managing Undesired Aircraft States
