The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority has developed this practical test asa standard to be used by ECAA operations inspectors when conducting theaircraft dispatcher practical test. Instructors are expected to use this Appendixwhen preparing applicants for the practical test.

This Appendix sets forth the practical test requirements for the aircraftdispatcher license.

Pra+ti+al Test Standard Con+e t

Egyptian Civil Aviation egulations !ECA "s# specify the areas in which$nowledge and s$ill must be demonstrated by the applicant before the issuanceof an aircraft dispatcher license. The ECA "s provide the flexibility that

permits the ECAA to issue practical test standards containing specific TA%&%in which competency must be demonstrated by the applicant before theissuance of an aircraft dispatcher license. The ECAA will add' delete' or reviseTA%&% whenever it is determined that changes are needed in the interest ofsafety. Adherence to provisions of the ECA "s and the practical test standardsis mandatory for the evaluation of aircraft dispatcher applicants.

ECAA ) erations Ins e+tor Res onsibility

The operations inspector who conducts the practical test is responsible fordetermining that the applicant meets the standards outlined in the ob(ective of

each TA%& within the appropriate practical test standard. The operationsinspector shall meet this responsibility" by accomplishing an ACTI)* that isappropriate for each TA%&. +or each TA%& that involves ,$nowledge only,elements' the operations inspector will orally qui- the applicant on thoseelements. +or each TA%& that involves both ,$nowledge and s$ill, elements'the operations inspector will orally qui- the applicant regarding $nowledgeelements and as$ the applicant to perform the required s$ill elements. Theoperations inspector will determine that the applicant"s $nowledge and s$illmeet the ob(ective in all required TA%&%. )ral questioning may be used at anytime during the practical test.

*)TE /here appropriate' the applicant should be allowed to use referencematerial.

required by changes in regulations' certification procedures' and other areasrelated to flight safety upon which emphasis should be placed.

Air+raft "is at+!er Pra+ti+al Test Standard "es+ri tion

T!e AREAS )$ )PERATI)( are sub(ects in which an aircraftdispatcher must have $nowledge and demonstrate s$ill. They begin with the

preparation for the flight and end with emergency procedures. The operationsinspector' however' may conduct the practical test in any sequence that resultsin a complete and efficient test.

T!e RE$ERE(CE identifies the publications that describes or refers tothe TA%&. 2escriptions of TA%&% are not included in the aircraft dispatcherstandards because this information can be found in references listed for eachTA%&. 3ublications other than those listed may be used as references if theircontent conveys substantially the same meaning as the referenced publications.

()TE The latest revision of the references should be used.

T!e )#/ECTI0E lists the important elements that must be satisfactorily performed to demonstrate competency in a TA%&. The )@7ECTI E includes

1. specifically what the applicant should be able to doB. the conditions under which the TA%& is to be performedB and?. the minimum acceptable standards of performance.

1se of t!e Pra+ti+al Test Standards

This practical test contains only one practical test standard. /hen usingthis Appendix' the operations inspector must evaluate the applicant"s$nowledge and s$ill in sufficient depth to determine that the standards of

performance listed for all TA%&% are met.

All TA%&% in this practical test standard are re2uired for t!e issuan+eof an air+raft dis at+!er li+ense.

It is not intended that the operations inspector follow the precise order inwhich A EA% )+ )3E ATI)* and TA%&% appear in this Appendix . Theoperations inspector may change the sequence or combine TA%&% with similar)@7ECTI E% to conserve time. The operations inspector will develop a planof action that includes the order and combination of TA%&% to be demonstrated

by the applicant in a manner that will result in an efficient and valid test.TA%&% with similar )@7ECTI E% may be combined to conserve timeB

however' the )@7ECTI E% of all TA%&% must be demonstrated at some timeduring the practical test. It is of utmost importance that the operationsinspector accurately evaluates the applicant"s ability to perform safely as anaircraft dispatcher.

The operations inspector will place special emphasis upon A EA% )+)3E ATI)* which are most critical to flight safety. )ne of these areas issound (udgment in decision ma$ing. Although these areas may not be shownunder each TA%&' they are essential to flight safety and will receive carefulevaluation throughout the practical test.

In an automated environment ' the operations inspector must require an"0applicant to demonstrate manual flight planning.

Air+raft "is at+!er Pra+ti+al Test Prere2uisites

An applicant for an aircraft dispatcher practical test is required by theECA "s to

. obtained the applicable experience prescribed for the aircraftdispatcher license under ECA %ection 45. =?!b# and must providedocumentary evidence of such experience.

Re2uired Material for t!e Pra+ti+al Test

The operations inspector is responsible for supplying weather data for the testwhen current weather information is not available.8aterials to be supplied by the applicant are

1. Company Aircraft )perating 8anual or +light 8anual.. eneral )perations 8anual and )perations %pecifications.?.

weather information is not available.

Satisfa+tory Performan+eThe ability of an applicant to perform the required TA%&% is based on1 . showing competency within the standards outlined in this test

Appendix.. following emergency procedures as required by the ECA "s and

company proceduresB?. exercising good (udgmentB and>. applying aeronautical $nowledge.

1nsatisfa+tory Performan+e

If' in the (udgment of the operations inspector' the applicant does not meetthe standards of performance of any TA%& performed' the associated A EA)+ )3E ATI)* is failed andB therefore' the practical test is failed. Theoperations inspector or applicant may discontinue the test at any time after thefailure of an A EA )+ )3E ATI)* ma$es the applicant ineligible for thecertificate sought. The test will be continued only with the consent of theapplicant. If the test is either continued or discontinued' the applicant isentitled to credit for only those TA%&% satisfactorily performed. ;owever'

during the retest and at' the discretion of the operations inspector' any TA%&may be reevaluated' including those previously passed.

Re+ording 1nsatisfa+tory Performan+eThe term A EA )+ )3E ATI)* is used to denote areas in which the

applicant must demonstrate competency prior to being issued an aircraftdispatcher certificate. This Appendix uses the terms A EA% )+)3E ATI)* and TA%& to denote areas in which competency must bedemonstrated. /hen a disapproval notice is issued' the operations inspectorwill record the applicant"s unsatisfactory performance in terms of A EA% )+)3E ATI)* appropriate to the practical test conducted.
