Questions and answers

When are unusual attitude recoveries performed in single-seat aircraft?

Unusual attitude recoveries are not performed in single seat aircraft. (paragraph 2)

How are unusual attitude recoveries evaluated for single-seat aircraft?

For single seat aircraft they are evaluated in the simulator. (paragraph 2)

Can a simulated flame-out evaluation be delayed?

Pilots unable to accomplish an SFO during their INSTM/QUAL evaluation may delay this emergency traffic pattern/approach requirement until their next periodic evaluation (usually a MSN evaluation). (paragraph 3)

What happens when a simulated flame-out is delayed until the next periodic evaluation?

When delayed until the next periodic evaluation, that evaluation will be incomplete until the SFO is accomplished. (paragraph 3)

How are weapons deliveries on different ranges counted for evaluation?

When weapons deliveries are performed on different ranges during the same mission, or like deliveries constituting separate events are performed on the same range, all events count for evaluation, and the area grade should be predicated upon the criteria below. (paragraph 6)
