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 maneuverthat 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 student’s 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 • Student’s first progress check is an Initial Progress Check (IPC) and labeled as Sxx88 • Student’s 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 EOB…not per event
