FAA Tabletop Prep

A live, scenario-based prep day for crews preparing for an FAA Tabletop Evaluation. We start with your LOAs, your manuals, and your routes, before walking every step required to execute the evaluation with confidence.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Crews preparing for an FAA Tabletop Evaluation.

Tabletop Prep is for operators who want to fortify their International Procedures knowledge base and walk into an evaluation prepared. Equally valuable any time you need to demonstrate operational readiness, including before a new LOA.

PREREQUISITE

Scott IPC Initial or Recurrent training completed within the previous 12 months.

INSTRUCTORS

Prepared by the people who have done the evaluations.

Several members of the Scott IPC instructor team are retired FAA international experts who once administered the very evaluations your crew is preparing for. Combined with current and former international captains and military aviators, our senior instructors have decades of operational depth, and understanding of the regulations crews fly under today.

CURRICULUM

Customized and adapted to your operation.

Each prep day is assessed to your specific areas of operation, your manuals, and the scenarios inspectors are most likely to evaluate.

AREAS OF OPERATION

Special Areas

North Atlantic (NAT HLA), Central East Pacific (CEP), North Pacific (NOPAC), and the West Atlantic (WAT). Plus the specific authorizations (LOAs, OpSpecs, & MSpecs) and the routes your operation flies.

PROCEDURES

ICAO-standard procedures

Oceanic clearances, position reporting, separation standards, and equipment requirements - all to current ICAO and NAT Doc guidance.

PLANNING

Flight planning and route execution

Route validation, ETP construction, fuel planning, and oceanic transition planning, built around your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), aircraft, and routes.

CONTINGENCIES

Contingency management

Weather, equipment, communication failure. We walk every contingency the FAA may put in front of your crew.

EXECUTION

Communication and SOP execution

Clear communication, structured handoffs, regulatory alignment, and SOP discipline; the operational habits inspectors are evaluating.

REFERENCE

Navigating your IOM in real time

Crews leave knowing where to find the relevant information in your IOM, the ICRH®, and supporting references, under tabletop pressure.

★ TABLETOP CRITICAL

Train with the tools and procedures you fly with.

Tabletop Prep integrates the operational tools and procedures your crew uses, so the day of the evaluation feels like any other line operation, not an exam.

Scott IPC Oceanic Checklist on an iPad

Your Oceanic Checklist

We prep your crews against the oceanic and contingency checklists they actually fly. No standardized checklist yet? We'll train you on the Scott IPC Oceanic Checklist, built around what crews do on the crossing and what inspectors evaluate.

HOW IT WORKS

One day of prep. Scoped to your operation.

From scoping to walkthrough, our Tabletop Prep is structured to match how your operation works.

01

Initial Conversation

We start with a planning conversation: your authorizations, your routes, your IOM, and your target evaluation date. Curriculum is built from there.

02

Train Live

One day of customized Live or Remote-Live instruction. Scenario-based, working with the tools and references your crews fly with.

03

Prepare for Takeoff

Crews leave with a documented walkthrough of every step required to execute the FAA Tabletop Evaluation and year-round instructor access if questions come up.

FORMAT

Delivered Live at your facility or Remote-Live via Zoom — same instructor, same materials, either way.

OUTCOMES

What your crew walks away with.

✓

A documented walkthrough

Of every step in the FAA Tabletop Evaluation, scoped to your operation. Crews leave with a reference they can review before evaluation day.

✓

Tool fluency under pressure

Familiarity with Scott Plot®, the ICRH®, and the oceanic checklist during evaluation scenarios — not on the day, for the first time.

✓

IOM mastery

Confident navigation of your company IOM during evaluation — exactly where to find what, under tabletop pressure.

✓

Year-round instructor access

Real-world questions get real-world answers from the same instructors who delivered the prep — not a help desk.
