Helicopter instruction CAAP or similar?

[Arm out the window]

G'day all,

Am just doing some FI(H) knowledge and skills revision.

There's a CAAP (5.14-2) on Flight Instructor Training (Aeroplane) - does anyone know if there's a similar CASA reference for helicopters?

I'm looking for a list of the required long briefs and their content, as per the aeroplane document. I may just be stupidly missing it somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be in the Day VFR Helicopter Syllabus or in the Helicopter Flight Instructor Manual. The HFIM has a series of topics, but they don't necessarily follow a sequence of long briefs - eg, 'hovering' and 'takeoff and landing to/from hover' are in separate sections, whereas you'd cover both in a single long brief, I'd have thought.

I didn't come through the civil training system so it's not second nature to me, and thought I'd ask the question here on the 'there are no stupid questions ...' principle! I could happily crank up a series of long briefs based on what I think should go in them, but I want to make sure I include all the required info, hence the question.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe CASA did produce a copy of a flight instructor's manual similar to the plank one (an update Pub 45) of several years ago. Will check my stash when I get home and PM you.

Thanks very much, Capt.

I have got a copy of their Helicopter Flight Instructor Manual issue 3 (Mar 2012) which has some decent gumph in it, but doesn't specifically lay down what the long briefs should be.

Like I said, I could have a good crack at it but I'd rather be trying to produce what they're after first up rather than having to change it all later.

Cheers

The Helicopter instructor CAAP, is still in draft mode, so expect it end of the year......

Ah yep, thanks - I see a reference to it on the CASA website as CAAP 5.14-3, still a work in progress - no published draft or anything as yet unfortunately.
