| iOB 2.4 | Resumes instruction/evaluation as practicable after any intervention |
| iOB 2.5 | Plans and prepares training media, equipment and resources |
| iOB 2.6 | Briefs on training devices or aircraft limitations that may influence training, when applicable |

| iOB 3.5 | Sustains operational relevance and realism |
| iOB 3.6 | Adapts the amount of instructor inputs to ensure that the training objectives are met |
| iOB 3.7 | Adapts to situations that might disrupt a planned sequence of events |
| iOB 3.8 | Continuously assesses the trainee’s competencies (e.g. by including the root cause(s) of the deficiency(-ies) observed according to the competency framework) |
| iOB 3.9 | Encourages the trainee to self-assess |
| iOB 3.10 | Allows the trainee to self-correct in a timely manner |
| iOB 3.11 | Applies trainee-centred feedback techniques (e.g. facilitation, etc.) |
| iOB 3.12 | Provides positive reinforcement |
| Interaction with the trainees | |
|---|---|
| Description: | Supports the trainees’ learning and development and demonstrates exemplary behaviour (role model) |
| iOB 4.1 | Shows respect for the trainee (e.g. for culture, language and experience) |
| iOB 4.2 | Shows patience and empathy (e.g. by actively listening, reading non-verbal messages and encouraging dialogue) |
| iOB 4.3 | Manages trainees’ barriers to learning |
| iOB 4.4 | Encourages engagement and mutual support between the trainees |

| iOB 4.9 | Actively seeks and accepts feedback to improve own performance |
| Assessment and evaluation | |
|---|---|
| Description: | Assesses the competencies of the trainee and contributes to continuous training system improvement |
| iOB 5.1 | Complies with operator/ATO and authority requirements |
| iOB 5.2 | Ensures that the trainee understands the assessment process |
| iOB 5.3 | Applies the competency standards and conditions |
| iOB 5.4 | Assesses trainee’s competency (-ies) |

| iOB 5.11 | Produces reports using appropriate forms and media |
The recommended competency assessment grading system methodology for instructor competencies should be the same as the one used for pilots. This is the Venn model. More information can be found in ORO.FC.231 point (d)(1) and the related AMC and GM.
