Instructors: How do I fill out a grade sheet?

A Grade Sheet has to be filled out after every flight. If the pause between block-on and block-off is less thatn 60 minutes, you may combine multiple flights on one grade sheets. If the pause is longer you have to create a new grade sheet.

There are two ways to create a Grade Sheet: Manually from the student file or automatically from iLog. If the aircraft you're training in suppors iLog, please use the automatic creation and refer to the iLog documentation for details.

To manually create a Grade Sheet, logn in as an instructor and navigate to the students training file "FLIGHT OPERATION" by clicking his name in the list of active students on the home screen:

In the "Add new..." section of the page, go the the line named "ATO-Training General:" and click the button labeled "Grade Sheet".
A new Grade Sheet is being created. The course name and student name should be pre-filled.

The Grade Sheet consists of four sections:

1. Header
2. Flight Details
3. Grading
4. Signature

The Header Section contains data for the student, instructor and aircraft used. Fill in or crosscheck the prefilled data according to the following instructions:

• Course Name: The course this training is applied to (should be prefilled)
• Mission Content: Short discription and mission no. from the training manuel. E.g. "Mission #1 General Familiarisation"
  If you train excercises out of sequence it should be noted here, e.g. "Instroduction OEI", or "Repetition Circle to Land Appr".
• Date: The date of the first flight covered by the Grade Sheet.
• Student: Name of the Student, should be prefilled, leave as is.
• Instructor: You. Use your three letter code only. If found, AIRDOCS fills in the full name.
• A/C: Used only for Grade Sheets created from iLog. Don't bother.
• Aircraft Registration: The reg, with no dashes etc. E.g. "DIMME" or "HBLNX"
• Aircraft Type ICAO: The type identiffer you use in your FPL
• Make Model: Coloquial name e.g. "Cheyenne II XL" or leave blank

Next, is the Flight Details Section:

Here, only block time is required. Fill at least:

• Date (DOF, again)
• Offblock
• Onblock
• Blockt.: Block time, should be calculated automatically
• D.T/O: Day take offs
• D.LDG: Day landings
• D.TNG: Day touch and gos
• N.T/O: Night take offs
• N.LDG: Night landings
• N.TNG: Night touch and gos
• Appr.: The number of instrument approaches performed

Then the Grades Section:

N/A = Not applicable or not part of the students tasks; AS = Above Standard; S = Standard; SI = Should Improve. Any SI-Grade has to be explained in detail in the remarks section!
You may use "Set all to S" to start with a baseline and adjust the grades.'
"Standard" should be consideres an average student, doing his first rating in this class of aeroplane.

Finally, the Signatures Section:

Sign the Grade Sheet yourself and make sure the student signs it as well, see Quick Guide: How to sign documents in AIRDOCS?

Notes:

1. Always click "Update Object" at the bottom when you have changed or entered data. Otherwhise, your changes will be lost!
   
   
2. All changes will be logged with timestamp and user.
   
   
3. Make sure to fill out the Grade Sheet on the day the training was performed.
