Performance Based Flight Training
Demonstrated Proficiency: Flight Training
Night Flight Concepts Flight Training is taught concurrently with ground training and is arranged in a step-based learning process which builds on knowledge learned from an earlier stage of training. Proficiency must be demonstrated through working knowledge and practical application before advancing to the next stage of training. A performance based flight evaluation is administered by a certified flight instructor and the individual must demonstrate proficiency prior to course completion. All tasks/maneuvers have published detailed procedures and include NVG/Night considerations.

- Internal / external lighting systems
- Cockpit and other system familiarization
