Piloting. 20.1 Locomotive engineers acting as pilots will be paid from the time required to report for duty until time of registering off duty on completion of trip or day's work at the rate of pay applicable to the class of power and under conditions pertaining to the class of service piloted, except that articles dealing with inspection time shall not apply.
Piloting. 16.1 When a pilot as defined in Operating Rules is required, a competent employee will be supplied in addition to the regular crew. An employee unfamiliar with the physical characteristics of any portion of the territory on which a pilot is required will not be required to act as a pilot thereon.
Piloting. 9.1 Engineers acting as pilots will be paid from the time required to report for duty until time of registering off duty on completion of trip or day's work at the rate of pay applicable to the class of power and under conditions pertaining to the class of service piloted, except that articles dealing with inspection time shall not apply.
Piloting. 12.1 Employees acting as pilots will be paid from the time required to report for duty until time of registering off duty on completion of the trip or day’s work.
Piloting. 14.01 An Engineer in charge of an engine ordered over any subdivision with which they are not familiar will be furnished with a competent pilot. An Engineer will be used as pilot when available.
Piloting. Given the relatively complex nature of the questionnaire (with a large amount of filtering and collection of data at different levels), and additional questions, the Contractor will pilot all waves of the survey in Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI), in terms of both question wording and the CAPI programming. This pilot will consist of 20 achieved interviews (spread across the age range of the children). The sample will be selected from Child Benefit records. All interviewers assigned to the pilot will be briefed by telephone. The briefing will cover the background to the survey, the purpose of the pilot exercise, contacting and screening procedures, the questionnaire, and the type and format of feedback required. All interviewers will be contacted by phone to obtain their immediate feedback. The Contractor will submit a short written report on the findings from the pilot, including recommendations for any changes prior to the start of main fieldwork. Any necessary amendments to the questionnaire will be made as a result of feedback from the pilot interviewers and investigation of the pilot data by the researchers. Any changes will be agreed with the Department. Definition of childcare and early years provision In order to ensure consistency across the survey series, the Contractor will keep the same definition of childcare as in 2009. In later waves the Steering Group may consider modifying the list of providers in line with policy changes or if parents continue to cite other childcare providers consistently, and in a way that suggests the Contractor may need to include additional answer codes. However, any changes (at all) to the definition will need careful thought and piloting in order to avoid any methodological bias in our measures of use of childcare and early years provision. Interviews with a second parent The 2007-09 survey series included an interview with the second parent (in two parent families) about their economic activity, education and other basic demographic information. Given the difficulties of securing interviews with all second parents (and the resultant limited analytical use), only partner information that could be easily reported by the respondent (i.e. behavioural information rather than attitudinal) was collected. This format and content will be retained for the future waves. As in the previous survey series, the Contractor will interview partners who are at home during the time of the respondent interview. However, ...
Piloting. 16.1 Employees running over a line with which they are not familiar may request a pilot who is not a member of the crew and who is in the same classification for which employee has been called, providing one is available and qualified. The pilot will be paid at the same rate as the employee called.
Piloting. A formal cognitive pilot of the school survey will not be conducted. The Contractor shall instead use the first 20 survey responses to reflect on the viability of any questions that were not included in the 2011 survey.
Piloting. If the shipmaster pilots the vessel in waters where a marine or inland water pilot is generally used, compensation will be paid as agreed by the shipowner and shipmaster. This does not affect vessels that have a line pilot.
Piloting. From the STA list of schools, the Contractor shall invite two local primary schools to take part in our piloting of the case study interview and focus group schedules. The Contractor shall seek feedback from the pilot respondents (staff and pupils) of the questions and instruments, and amendments will be made to ensure they enable the appropriate level of detail without burdening staff and pupils. The Contractor shall clear all instruments with the DfE prior to commencing fieldwork. Phase 2: Telephone interviews with schools that did not enter pupils for the test Sampling and recruitment The Contractor shall design a sampling matrix for the 40 telephone interviews based on data from the Annual School Census and National Pupil Database (NPD), supplied by DfE. Using their unique reference number, all L6 schools will be removed from the database, enabling the random selection of 200 maintained primary schools to be categorised into the matrix cells, using the same matrix as in Table 1. As with the case study schools, a range of other characteristics will also be taken into account when contacting and selecting the final 40 non-L6 schools. The Contractor will ensure the inclusion of a large number of schools with able pupils by over sampling schools with a higher % of L5 pupils. The Contractor shall contact the teacher who made the decision not to enter pupils for the L6 test (most likely the Headteacher) by telephone and asked whether they would be willing to take part in a further telephone interview. If interested, the Contractor shall e-mail a project information sheet and consent form to the Headteacher/relevant staff member and arrangements made for a convenient time to conduct the telephone interview. The long list of up to 200 non-L6 schools should ensure an achieved sample of 40. Design and piloting of telephone interview The schedule will include a range of open and closed questions, designed to quickly and effectively capture data to answer the xxxxxx range of questions in Appendix 1 of the contractors tender. The Contractor shall record and upload data onto an excel spreadsheet for rapid analysis. The Contractor shall ensure that the interviews take no longer than 20 minutes to encourage participation. Telephone interviews will be piloted with local non-L6 schools with whom the Contractor already has links and can access at short notice. The Contractor shall clear any amendments with DfE before fieldwork starts. Phase 3 - Results Analysis Once the ...
