Chapter IX
Course Training Standards
1. Purpose. These standards outline the tasks and proficiency
required of IUTs during the initial and upgrade training.
2.
IUT Duties and Responsibilities
a.
Plan the mission.
b. Ensure the aircraft is preflighted, inspected, and
equipped for the assigned mission.
c. Operate the aircraft to accomplish the mission using
sound judgment and airmanship.
3.
General Standards
a. Achieve training standards for visual meteorological
condition (VMC) maneuvers in conjunction with visual clearing.
b. Unless otherwise specified, use Basic Air Work (BAW)
standards for all items with altitude, airspeed, or heading
parameters.
c.
"Standard" equates to good (G/4).
d. Aircraft control must be smooth and positive.
Performance may be within CTS and still not warrant a grade of
good if control inputs are delayed, erratic, imprecise, or
inappropriate. Slight deviations in establishing or maintaining
the proper or desired aircraft attitude or position may occur
during the maneuver being performed.
e. Momentary deviations outside CTS that do not compromise
flight safety are acceptable if subsequent corrections are
timely.
f. Procedural knowledge and application must comply with
applicable directives and allow efficient mission
accomplishment. If individual tasks require pre-mission
planning, the standards from Mission Planning apply.
4. Execution. The MIF regulates IUT progression to meet
required standards prior to phase completion. Standardization
Instructors shall evaluate IUT performance against these
standards.
