Advanced Flight Review

Reviewer's script and assessment card. The quoted lines are what you say — they stay on screen and never print. Failure of any single item fails the review.

Candidate

Aircraft

Review

PASS no error MIN minor MAJ major CRI critical — fails the item

Standing rules for the reviewer

  • The candidate performs all flying and management. Do not assist with handling, radio calls or navigation.
  • Watch for other traffic. Notify the pilot in command immediately when any action or inaction jeopardises safety.
  • Stop the review the moment safety is compromised.
  • Mark each item as soon as it is completed, not from memory afterwards.
  • Maximum 8 RPAS flight reviews in one day. Verify ID documents — never copy or retain them.

Classifying an error

Minor

Inconsequential to completing the task. Example: overshoots the landing area by a few feet and recovers safely.

Major

May lead to an undesired aircraft state or a reduced safety margin. Example: overshoots the landing by about twenty feet.

Critical

Mismanaged action or inaction that leads to an undesired aircraft state or compromises safety. Example: overshoots by about thirty feet and nearly hits a person. This is a failure.

Complete re-do required when

  • Any single item is failed
  • No appropriate site survey is conducted
  • A pattern of ineffective visual scanning emerges
  • Flying is unsafe
  • Behaviour is dangerous, even unrelated to a specific skill
  • A lack of training or competency is evident

Result

Worked out from the item grades. A critical error on any item fails the review.

Not graded
Automatic re-do, whatever the item grades

“Let’s step over here for a moment. I’m going to give you the result, and then we’ll go through it.”

Give the pass or fail verbally and straight away, in private. On a failure, work through strengths and weaknesses rather than reading out a list of faults.

Comments

Before you leave it for the day

  • Enter the result in the Drone Management Portal within 24 hours.
  • Record a failure immediately. It may not be held until a later attempt, or turned into a training event.
  • The candidate may re-test after 24 hours.
  • These results are personal information under the Privacy Act. Store them securely.
