appropriate. Under the "Action taken" the blank box in the lower
right corner shall be checked and annotated "trend analysis
only". Student counseling shall be documented by his/her
signature on the pink sheet. Actions dictated by paragraph 719
shall be followed after the assignment of a marginal Mid-Stage or
End-of-Stage.
b. Weekly, the squadron shall generate a list of students who
are marginal. A student whose stage grade is 1.2 or greater
standard deviations below the current squadron stage average
shall be designated marginal 'mid-stage or end-of-stage',
referencing paragraph 718 for disposition instructions; a CNATRA-
GEN 1542/31 "pink sheet" shall be initiated. Students identified
as marginal before the end of a stage shall be treated as
marginal until the end of that stage.
c. If a student receives an unsatisfactory grade and a pink
sheet on an event, and is also designated as marginal as a result
of the same event, no additional pink sheet is required.
However, the pink sheet will be annotated that the student's
performance is also marginal in addition to the unsatisfactory
grade.
718. MARGINAL PERFORMANCE DISPOSITION. The purpose of marginal
(R
designation is to highlight a student's trends, and apply
practical steps to determine what actions are required to prevent
unsatisfactory completion. For students in the Multi-Service
Pilot Training System Curriculum, CNATRAINST 1542.140, specific
provisions of that instruction are applicable. For all students
in any other CNATRA curriculum, the following steps shall be
taken:
a. Student control officer and stage head/flight leader shall
conduct a jacket review to determine specific trends/problems
during that stage, previous stages, or ground support
(academics/flight support) and document their findings on CNATRA-
GEN 1542/16, Supplementary Jacket Form.
b. Trends such as what instructors seem to be least/most
effective in presenting material to that student, circumstances
which present problems for the student or any relevant individual
trends, shall be considered to affect improvements to the
student's performance. Any remediation proposed should be
directed to resolve specific problems with student performance,
i.e., recommend specific course of action to include additional
flight training (ETs), simulator events, chalk-talks. For
example: a student marginal during FAM might be identified as
having problems with traffic pattern and landings - thus
remediation should be focused on those basic procedures and
skills, not merely reflying FAM stage flights.
