CHAPTER 9

AIRCREW GRADING SYSTEM

The aircrew grading system provides the commander a complete and continuous performance record on each crew member in his unit. These records reflect the performance of individuals at a given time. Poor performance may or may not indicate inadequacy on the part of the crew member. The problem may be with the unit training program itself. A detailed analysis of all records should tell the commander where the problem is. Only then should he attempt to fix it. Five separate forms are used for evaluation or training flights. Blank copies of these forms are at the back of this training circular. They may be reproduced locally on 5 1/2- by 8-inch paper. The importance of these records to the commander as quality control and standardization tools cannot be overstated. They must be filled out carefully, completely, and legibly (printed in dark blue or black ink).

9-1. DA FORM 4507-R (STANDARD EVALUATION/TRAINING GRADE SLIP)

This form is used to record information concerning evaluations or training. It consists of two pages and is identical for all Army aircraft or simulation devices. A sample of a completed DA Form 4507-R is in Figures 9-1 and 9-2. Instructions for completing the form are given below.

9-2. DA FORM 4507-2-R (CONTINUATION COMMENT SLIP)

This form is used to continue comments from the back of DA Form 4507-R. The form consists of two pages and is identical for all Army aircraft or simulation devices. A sample of a completed DA Form 4507-2-R is in Figures 9-3 and 9-4. When completing this form, use the procedure described in paragraph 9-1c. When all forms have been completed, staple them together.

This maneuvers grade slip provides a record of evaluation and training conducted at the unit level. It addresses those tasks and procedures required in the performance of maintenance test flights. DA Form 5051-11-R is an important tool in attaining standardization and quality control. It should be filled out correctly and legibly. The instructor or evaluator should carry the grade slip during the evaluation or training flight. A sample of a completed DA Form 5051-11-R is in Figure 9-7. Instructions for completing this form are given below.
