f. Due care shall be exercised not to lump all below average
performances into the headwork, procedures, or basic airwork
categories. Conversely, multiple below averages should not be
assigned for a single shortcoming, e.g., assigning a below
average in headwork, basic airwork, and approaches for being
below target airspeed.
R)
705. INSTRUCTOR PREPARATION OF STUDENT AVIATION TRAINING FORMS
(ATFs). Each instructor shall ensure that ATFs are completely
filled out with the best information possible. Not only shall
the ATF be used to measure student performance on each flight
compared to the standards listed in the appropriate FTI and/or
curriculum outline, but it shall document any trends that may be
evident to the instructor. Instructors shall also:
a. Total unsatisfactory, below average, average, and above
average grades and log them in the appropriate blocks. The value
"0" shall be used in blocks not utilized. For students in the
Multi-Service Pilot Training System Curriculum, CNATRAINST
1542.140, grade documentation provisions of that instruction are
applicable.
b. Give justification for all above averages (AA), below
averages (BA), and unsatisfactory (U) grades. For students in the
Multi-Service Pilot Training System Curriculum, CNATRAINST
1542.140, maneuver items resulting in an overall sortie grade of
"unsat" must be noted and the instructor must provide supporting
commentary.
c. Provide general comments to include any significant trends
evident to the instructor.
d. Give specific reasons for warm-ups and incomplete flights,
e.g., "Incomplete due to weather...aircraft problems...student
airsick..."; "Warm-up given due to student not scheduled for 20
days". For students in the Multi-Service Pilot Training System
Curriculum, CNATRAINST 1542.140, provisions for documentation and
award of "incomplete" sortie or "break-in-training sorties of
that instruction are applicable.
e.
Fill in all other appropriate blocks.
f. If completing ATFs by hand, use black ink to fill out the
form. Do not use felt-tip pens.
706. IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE GRADES. The grades that a student
receives are the basis for personal decisions and selections that
are important to the individual and the Navy. It is essential
that they be awarded as accurately, uniformly, and fairly as
possible. Student control shall notify students of all "clerical
error" grade corrections, should the change affect his/her
training status, (e.g., student becomes marginal stage or phase)
and the reason for grade corrections. Students shall be briefed
