21. PM Duties

Aim

Determine the candidate’s ability to demonstrate proper division of PM duties in accordance with the COM and SOP’s.

Description

Each pilot will demonstrate PM duties sufficient to determine compliance with and knowledge of, aircraft procedures and company SOP’s. This will include normal and abnormal procedures while operating as PM. Flight crew may be required to conduct PM duties from a seat position that they do not normally occupy (PPC with two Captains or two F/Os). In this situation, the training unit will provide PM training to the candidates in the seat they will occupy during the PPC.
