3. Commanding Officer-directed FPC/F or /R when

the student's potential to complete MNTS is in doubt, failure to

meet specific goals of SMS, or officer-like qualities are

inadequate.

FPC outcomes are:

Passing returns the student to normal

syllabus flow.

Failing results in a TRB.

5. FPC Instructor. The CO, XO, or a CO-

designated representative administers the FPC. It is the intent

of CNATRA 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, in writing, a senior officer (O-4

or above) to conduct the FPC by direction. The FPC shall not be

administered by the Instructor that generated the Unsatisfactory

grade resulting in the FPC, or by the student's personal

advisor. The FPC Instructor is responsible for the

elimination/retention decision.

Progress Check Counseling

(1) Prior to an IPC. The student's Flight Leader or the

Operations Officer shall counsel the student on the progress

check training review process and document counseling on a

supplemental ATF.

(2) On Completion of an IPC. The IPC Instructor or

Operations Officer shall counsel the student on the progress

check training review process. When conducted by the IPC

Instructor, document counseling on the IPC ATF. When conducted

by the Operations Officer (and the Operations Officer was not

the IPC Instructor), document counseling on a supplemental ATF.

(3) On Satisfactory Completion of a Final Progress Check.

The CO or his designated representative will counsel the

student. Counseling should consist of the progress check

training review process, elimination/retention recommendations,

and future courses of action. The CO shall document counseling

on the FPC ATF. If conducted by a designated representative,

document counseling on a supplemental ATF.
