criteria for F/A-18 aircraft. Publications relating to environmental procedures peculiar to shorebased

29.3.12 Flight Evaluation Grading Criteria. Only those sub-areas provided or required will be

graded. The grades assigned for a sub-area shall be determined by comparing the degree of adherence

to standard operating procedures with adjectival ratings listed below. Momentary deviations from

standard operating procedures should not be considered as unqualifying provided such deviations do

not jeopardize flight safety and the evaluee applies prompt corrective action.

29.3.13 Flight Evaluation Grade Determination. The following procedure shall be used in deter-

mining the flight evaluation grade: A grade of Unqualified in any critical area/sub-area will result in

an overall grade of Unqualified for the flight. Otherwise, flight evaluation (or area) grades shall be

determined by assigning the following numerical equivalents to the adjective grade for each sub-area.

Only the numerals 0, 2 or 4 are to be assigned in sub-area. No interpolation is allowed.

Unqualified

0.0

Conditionally qualified

2.0

Qualified

4.0

To determine the numerical grade for each area and the overall grade for the flight, add all the points

assigned to the sub-areas and divide this sum by the number of sub-areas graded. The adjective grade

shall then be determined on the basis of the following scale.

0.0 to 2.19 - Unqualified

2.2 to 2.99 - Conditionally Qualified

3.0 to 4.0 - Qualified

EXAMPLE: (Add Sub-area numerical equivalents)

(4+2+4+2+4) ÷ 5 =3.20 Qualified

29.3.13.1 Final Grade Determination. The final NATOPS evaluation grade shall be the same as the

grade assigned to the flight evaluation. An evaluee who receives an Unqualified on any ground

examination or the flight evaluation shall be placed in an Unqualified status until he achieves a grade

of Conditionally Qualified or Qualified on a reevaluation.

29.3.13.2 Records and Reports. A NATOPS Evaluation Report (OPNAV Form 3510-8) shall be

completed for each evaluation and forwarded to the evaluee’s commanding officer only. This report

shall be permanently filed in the individual NATOPS Flight Personnel Training/Qualification jacket.

29.3.13.3 Critique. The critique is the terminal point in the NATOPS evaluation and is given by the

Evaluator/Instructor administering the check. Preparation for the critique involves processing,

reconstructing data collected, and oral presentation of the NATOPS Evaluation Report. Deviations

from standard operating procedures will be covered in detail using all collected data and worksheets as

a guide. Upon completion of the critique, the pilot will receive the completed copy of the NATOPS

Evaluation Report for certification and signature. The completed NATOPS Evaluation Report is then

presented to the Unit Commanding Officer.

29.3.13.4 NATOPS Evaluation Question Bank. The following bank of questions is intended to assist

the unit NATOPS Instructor/Evaluator in the preparation of ground examinations and to provide an

abbreviated study guide. The questions from the bank may be combined with locally originated

questions in the preparation of ground examinations. The closed book exam shall consist of no less

than 50 questions. The time limit for the closed book exam is 1 hour and 30 minutes. The requirements

for the open book exam are the same as those for the closed book exam, except there is no time limit.

FOLDOUT SECTION

The purpose of the Foldout Section is to make these illustrations available for ready reference while

reading the associated text. The illustrations are referenced from several sections of the manual and are

referred to in the text as (see figure FO-, foldout section).

The System Foldouts are extremely simplified to provide a general understanding of very

complicated systems. They do not contain all components, circuits, etc. For a complete diagram(s) of

a system, refer to the applicable maintenance publication.
