Phase 3-Flight Evaluation.(1) Briefing. The evaluator will explain the flight evaluation procedure and brief theexaminee in the tasks to be evaluated. When evaluating an evaluator/trainer, the evaluatormust advise the examinee that, during role-reversal, they may deliberately perform sometasks outside standards to check the examinee's diagnostic and corrective action skills. Theevaluator will conduct or have the examinee conduct a crew briefing in accordance with Task1000 and the unit’s approved aircrew briefing checklist.(2) PMD, preflight inspection, engine-start, run-up procedures engine ground operations,and before-takeoff checks. The evaluator will evaluate the examinee's use of the operator’smanual and/or the integrated electronic technical manual, as appropriate. The evaluator willhave the examinee identify and discuss the function of at least two aircraft systems.3-10 TC 3-04.35, C1 31 August 2010

TC 3-04.35descending below barriers. Adjust search/landing light for best illumination angle withoutcausing excessive reflection into the cockpit. Entering IMC with artificial illumination mayinduce spatial disorientation. Cockpit controls will be more difficult to locate and identify;take special precautions to identify and confirm the correct switches and levers.(2) Night unaided. Use of white light or weapons flash will impair night vision. The P*should not directly view white lights, weapons flash, or impact. Allow time for adapting todark or, if necessary, adjust altitude and airspeed until adapted. Exercise added caution ifperforming flight tasks before reaching full dark adaptation. Dimly visible objects may bemore easily detected using peripheral vision and may tend to disappear when viewed directly.Use off-center viewing techniques to locate and orient on objects.(3) NVG. Use of NVG degrades distance estimation and depth perception. Aircraft in flightmay appear closer than they actually are due to the amplification of external lights and thelack of background objects to assist in distance estimation and depth perception. If possible,confirm the distance unaided. Weapons flash may temporarily impair or shut down NVG.g. Training and evaluation requirements. Training and evaluation requirements definewhether the task will be trained/evaluated in the aircraft, FS, or academic environment. Listingaircraft/FS under the evaluation requirements does not preclude the evaluator from evaluatingelements of the task academically to determine depth of understanding or planning processes.Some task procedures allow multiple ways to achieve the standards.h.

Appendix ANonrated Crewmember Training and QualificationA-1. *NONRATED CREWMEMBERS. Aircraft qualification training: Presently, no formal Armymilitary occupational specialty (MOS) producing school exists for the Mi-17 NCM. Trainingcan be obtained at USAACE, at the unit by completing the aircraft systems, academic and flighttraining subjects as listed in tables A-1 thru A-3, or at an OEM certified training facility.a. Academic qualification training. The NCM must receive sufficient instruction to beknowledgeable in the aircraft manuals, systems, and flight-training subjects listed below.Academic instruction will be IAW this manual. The academic instruction may be completed inany order, but must be completed (to include the examination) and documented in the IATF onDA Form 7122-R (Crew Member Training Record) before flight training. The academic classesare mandatory, but the hour requirements are based on crewmember retention. Crewmembersmust pass the examinations with a grade of at least 70 percent. The required examinations foreach subject area are identified in table A-1. Commanders will develop written examinationscovering the subject areas listed in this appendix. Each of the following subject areas requires a50 question open book examination:(1) Operators manual/systems subjects (to include emergency procedures).(2) Maintenance manuals.(3) Academic subjects.(4) Flight training subjects.31 August 2010 TC 3-04.35, C1 A-1

The NCM will be required to demonstrate proficiency in all individual basetasks listed in table 2-7 (page 2-8) and crew coordination and airspace surveillance proficiency.An X in the night column of table 2-7(page 2-8) identifies night tasks required for qualificationtraining. Flight hour requirements for aircraft qualification training are based on individualcrewmember proficiency. The flight time shown in table A-2 may be used as a guide. Total flighttraining for aircraft qualification will not be less than 10 hours. Table A-3 (page A-4) may beused as a guide for flight time allotted during each training day.Table A-2.
