General Instructions(Chapter I)

Grading process Established scale to document performance on maneuvers

Scale compares performance to the course training standards (CTS)

Grading Scale Demonstrated NG / 1

IP demonstrates the maneuver

Used for solo flights where an IP cannot observe maneuvers

Indicated grade for accomplishment of Special Syllabus Requirements (SSR)

Unable U / 2 Performance is unsafe or lacks sufficient knowledge, skill, or ability

Deviations greatly exceed CTS & corrections are extremely slow

Requires constant IP coaching to accomplish skill or maneuver

Fair F / 3 Performance is safe but with limited proficiency

Deviations exceed CTS & corrections still lag and may not be appropriate

Still requires moderate coaching

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Grading Scale (cont)

Good G / 4

Performance is within CTS

Deviations outside of CTS may occur if they are brief, minor, & do not affect safety

Corrections must be appropriate and timely

Excellent E / 5

Performance greatly surpasses CTS

Performance is correct, efficient, and skillful

Any deviations are minor & corrections are rapid but smooth & appropriate

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Maneuver Item File (MIF)

The required grade for a specific maneuver that must be obtained by EOB

Every stage has all blocks & maneuvers spelled out in Curriculum Guide

Example: For In-flight Checks/Fuel Management, the syllabus requires you to get a grade of U/2 thru the end of the C3102 simulator block. By the end of the C4104 block (4 aircraft events), the syllabus now requires you to get a grade of F/3

Syllabus looks for progression of skills with more training

Critical Items (Mandatory)

Displayed with a + next to the required grade

Mandatory to meet the required proficiency by EOB

Optional Items

No + with required grade

If maneuver is accomplished, must meet indicated proficiency level

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Grades and TIMS gradebook

Each event will have a grade sheet filled out

Grades are stored in your TIMS gradebook (electronically)

Each grade sheet has the maneuvers, MIF, and awarded grade

Example: On this event, General Knowledge/Procedures requires a grade of F/3+ by the EOB. The + makes this maneuver/grade mandatory. The student was awarded a G/4 for their performance as measured against CTS

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Overall Grade

Represent the students progression through JPPT

Based on performance against the MIF

Overall Grades

Pass Progress is adequate to meet standards by end of block (EOB)

Marginal Ability to meet standards by EOB is questionable

Unsatisfactory Student exhibits dangerous tendencies or progress towards meeting standards by EOB is insufficient

Awarding Overall Grades

Must meet MIF by EOB

Prior to EOB, performance must meet/exceed previous block MIF

Must not regress in grades from block to block (Regression Rule)

May get an F/3 on two maneuvers where a previous block required a G/4

If more than two maneuvers awarded F/3 when previous block required a G/4 = Unsatisfactory Overall

If performance on a maneuver for two consecutive events is an F/3 when a G/4 is required in previous block = Unsatisfactory Overall

If any maneuver is awarded a U/2 after required grade is F/3 or G/4 in previous block = Unsatisfactory Overall

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Unsatisfactory Performance

Ready Room Unsat (RRU)

Student performance at the briefing is unsatisfactory

The flying portion of the event shall not occur

Result in going directly to an Initial Progress Check (IPC)

On an event

If events remain in the block, student continues to the next event until the 2nd consecutive unsat or 3rd cumulative unsat in the block

If no events remain in the block, student repeats last block event until the 2nd consecutive unsat or 3rd cumulative unsat in the block

If student unsats a check ride, has two consecutive unsats in a row, or three cumulative unsats in a block = IPC

If student unsats a subsequent check ride, has two further consecutive unsats in a row, or three cumulative unsats in a block = FPC

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Warmup events (86 events)

Used for breaks in training

Eligibility based on the # of days since last flight or sim in the same stage

Coded with phase, block & 86 (example: C4286)

Warmup grades do not satisfy block required grades to progress in that block

When events awarded? See table

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Special Monitoring Status (SMS)

Students placed in SMS to focus supervisory attention on their progress in training, specific deficiencies, and potential to complete the program

May also relate to students resolving personal issues

Intended as a short term program (set goals for removal)

If student achieves required goals or personal issues resolved, student returns to normal training flow

If student fails to achieve required goals or performance does not improve, student goes to an IPC or FPC

General Instructions(Chapter I)

Progress Checks Used to evaluate the students potential to complete JPPT and advanced training

Students first progress check is an Initial Progress Check (IPC) and labeled as Sxx88

Students second progress check is a Final Progress Check (FPC) and labeled as Sxx89

Triggers for an IPC: First RRU

Second academic test failure

Failed check ride

Two consecutive or three cumulative unsat events in the same block

Results of an IPC: Pass and return to normal syllabus flow

Fail and move to an FPC

Triggers for an FPC Following a failed IPC

Conditions for an IPC exist but the student has already been to an IPC

CO directed when the potential to complete JPPT and advanced training is in doubt

Results of an FPC: Pass and return to normal syllabus flow

Fail and move to attrition recommendation by CO

Course Training Standards (CTS)(Chapter IX)

Purpose

Outline the tasks and proficiency required for each maneuver

Standards equates to a G/4

Aircraft control must be smooth and positive. Performance may be within CTS and still not warrant a grade of good if inputs are delayed, erratic, imprecise or inappropriate

Momentary deviations outside CTS that do not compromise safety are acceptable if corrections are timely

KNOW THE COURSE TRAINING STANDARDS FOR THE MANEUVERS!

Ground Training(Chapter II)

Covers all of the initial training to be accomplished prior to flight line ops

Goes through and defines:

Gxxxx Ground event CAI and classes

SYxxxx Systems CAI and classes

PRxxxx Procedures CAI and classes

Lists prerequisites - items that must be accomplished prior to moving on

Stage Training Sections(Chapters IV-VIII)

Different stage chapters (Contact, Instrument, etc.)

Each stage chapter starts with overall MIF grid

Gives overall snapshot of stage

Shows expectations of skill set proficiency advancement for each maneuver

Shows all the various training blocks in the stage

Breaks out simulator, aircraft, and check flight events

After MIF grid, stage chapter will break out each individual training block

Stage Training Sections(Chapters IV-VIII)

Breakouts for each block of training (i.e. C21xx, C41xx block, etc.)

Does not get very specific to each individual event in the block

List prerequisites that must be accomplished prior to beginning the block

Lists syllabus notes as to what will be accomplished on various block events if any required

Lists Special Syllabus Requirements (SSRs) that need to be accomplished if any required

Lists discussion items by event in block

Stage Training Sections(Chapters IV-VIII)

Each block section breaks out all the graded maneuvers and required MIF by EOB

Grades for a block are always expectations by EOBnot per event
