training recommended to bring the student up to satisfactory
standards.
b. Safe for Solo, or Unsafe for Solo. Upon completion of a
curriculum dual flight preceding a student's solo, the instructor
shall mark the ATF "Safe for Solo" or "Unsafe for Solo" as
appropriate.
(1) Safe for Solo means that the student has demonstrated
the capability to safely take off, fly the required maneuvers,
respond satisfactorily to emergencies, return, and land the
aircraft alone.
(2) Unsafe for Solo means that the student has not
demonstrated the capabilities above, or has demonstrated a
propensity for flying in a dangerous manner or indicates serious
headwork shortcomings. This is also considered an unsatisfactory
event.
c. Dangerous or Unsafe Tendencies. Performance which is
sufficiently erratic or inconsistent such that, if not corrected
or anticipated by the instructor, is likely to result in injury,
incident, or accident. This includes erratic headwork, or sudden
hazardous procedural deviations which tax or exceed the
instructor's corrective ability.
710. GRADING PROCEDURES. For students in the Multi-Service
(R
Pilot Training System Curriculum, CNATRAINST 1542.140, specific
provisions of that instruction are applicable to grading
procedures.
a. Completed Events. The marks assigned and recorded on each
ATJ are totaled separately for each grading column. Except for
events listed in paragraph 710c, the totals in stage for each
column are then carried forward cumulatively. When completing a
previously incompleted event, grade only those items needed to
complete that event, unless certain items that had already been
assigned a grade warranted an Above Average (AA), a Below Average
(BA), or were Unsatisfactory (U).
b. Incomplete Events. Incomplete curriculum events are graded
(on those items completed) and these marks are used in the
cumulative totals.
c. Events Excluded from Cumulative Totals. The following
events are graded, and the marks entered on the ATF, but such
grades are not included in the cumulative totals:
(1) Warm-ups
(2) Extra Flight Instruction (ETs)
