(3) Progress Check Procedures
(a) The Progress Check Pilot shall consider the
student's proficiency, judgment, air sense, and overall ability
to maneuver the aircraft safely and confidently. The student
must also demonstrate the potential to successfully complete MNTS
and advanced training. All progress checks must meet MIF for the
most recently completed block of training. Progress checks shall
be full mission profiles emphasizing the student's weak areas and
a representative cross section of area and pattern maneuvers.
All critical items do not need to be accomplished. Document
failed progress checks on a pink-colored version of the
respective ATF for the failed event generating the progress
check. Flight and Ready Room unsatisfactories proceed in
separate, parallel tracks.
1. The student's first flight progress check is
an IPC/F (SXX88) event. Any subsequent flight progress check is
an FPC/F (SXX89). Previous RRUs do not affect this progression.
2. Similarly, the first RRU generates an IPC/R.
A subsequent RRU generates an FPC/R. Previous flight progress
checks do not affect this progression.

IPC, IPC outcomes, and IPC IPs.
