that wherever possible, the CO, or in his absence, the XO, shall
conduct FPCs. In the event that neither the CO nor XO are
qualified or available to instruct in the required stage, the CO
may designate a senior officer (O-4 or above) to conduct the FPC
by direction. The student's on-wing or the IP that generated
the UNSAT grade resulting in the FPC shall not administer the
FPC. A qualified FPC IP shall monitor an FPC conducted in the
simulator. The FPC IP is responsible for a return to training
decision or an elimination recommendation to the COMTRAWING.
