c. The IP is satisfied the student is ready
to progress to the next sortie.
2. The IP must award an overall unsatisfactory

a. Regression was to a U/2 where F/3 or G/4
is required.
b. Performance on the same maneuver for two
consecutive sorties resulted in an F/3 where a G/4 is required.
c. There was regression on more than two
items.
(5) Maneuver Requirements.
For each block:
(a) Mandatory Items. Items with a number and a plus
(+) are mandatory and the student must meet the required

without a plus (+), are optional. However, if flown, the
student must meet the required proficiency by EOB.
