Task Definitions

The flight syllabus contains definitions that indicate the amount of

student/instructor involvement when conducting a task as prescribed on a flightlesson. These definitions are as follows and should be considered when evaluating

whether the student meets the completions standards:

Introduce: Tasks listed under the title “Introduce” should bedemonstrated by the instructor and then guided by the instructor asthe student attempts the maneuver. Instructor guidance and

intervention is expected. Students should be able to complete themaneuver with the aid of the instructor as outlined in the “Completion

Standards” listed within each flight lesson.

Review: Tasks listed under the title “Review” should be demonstrated

only by the student with some guidance from the instructor as thestudent attempts the maneuver. Instructor guidance may be

necessary depending upon their experience and proficiency level, butphysical intervention is expected to be minimal.

Perform: Tasks listed under the title “Perform” should bedemonstrated only by the student for the purpose of evaluating. Noinstructor guidance is to occur, and the instructor should not have to

intervene at this level. Additionally, “Perform” tasks refer to solo

activities which do not have distinct completion standards.
