Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com helicopters will be conducted only during aviator and instructor pilot qualification and transition training per formal POI at Department of the Army designated training bases. Touchdown emergency proce- dures are also authorized for— (a) IPs and SPs designated to conduct touchdown emergency procedures in single engine helicopters at designated training bases. (b) Directorate of Evaluation and Standardization (DES) IPs and SPs. (c) Local qualification training in OH-58A/C, AH-1, UH-1 and OH-6 helicopters.

(2) Procedures must be conducted in designated training locations free from obstructions. There must be air-to-ground communications and crash and fire rescue equipment available. Night training areas will be designated and used. (3) Unannounced touchdown autorotations will not be made ex- cept for IP and SP training or evaluations. (4) Autorotations with power recoveries and terminations with power will be conducted per the ATM. (5) In multi-engine helicopters, practice touchdown autorotations are prohibited. (3) By an IP, SP, IE, ME, FI, or SI per the appropriate ATM/ ATP. (4) To determine an individual’s proficiency and/or currency.
(5) To determine which phase of training is appropriate for entry into or continuing in the ATP. (6) No-notice proficiency evaluations may be written examina- t i o n s , o r a l e v a l u a t i o n s , a i r c r a f t f l i g h t e v a l u a t i o n s , o r c o m p a t i b l e flight simulator evaluations. d. Post-mishap flight evaluation. This flight evaluation is admin- istered to an aviator or nonrated crew member to determine their ability to perform required duties following an aircraft mishap. Avi- ators or nonrated crew members performing crew duties involved in a Class A or B mishap will be suspended from flight duties until successful completion of a flight evaluation.
The evaluation will be conducted in the same mission, type, design, and series aircraft in which the mishap occurred. Aviators or nonrated crew members performing crew duties involved in a Class C mishap may be sus- pended from flight duties and required to successfully complete a flight evaluation at the discretion of the commander. An IP, SP, FI, or SI will conduct the evaluation per the appropriate ATM. (See AR 40-501 for medical release requirements prior to flight.) e. Medical flight evaluation. This flight evaluation measures an aviator’s or nonrated crew member’s ability to perform required duties after incurring a medical disability.
The evaluation will be administered on the recommendation of the flight surgeon. The evaluation of flight duties will be conducted by an IP, IE, SP, FI, or SI per the appropriate ATM. f. Maintenance test pilot evaluator and maintenance test pilot evaluation. This evaluation encompasses maintenance test flight ma- neuvers and is conducted in each aircraft series group (para 4-19) which the aviator is required to test fly. The evaluation will be conducted— (1) To establish MP or ME qualification per the appropriate ATM. (2) By a designated ME qualified and current in the aircraft series group being flown.
(3) During the APART in the primary aircraft and during each training year in alternate and additional aircraft. (4) National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve personnel will take the MP or ME evaluation during the same quarter as their standardi- zation flight evaluation. 4–9. Hands-on performance test Each crew member must successfully complete periodic hands-on performance tests by an IP, SP, IE, ME, FI, or SI per the appropri- ate ATM/ATP. Hands-on tests are: a. Standardization flight evaluation.
This flight consists of visual flight maneuvers and/or procedures conducted in each aircraft mis- sion, type, design, and series group (para 4-19) an aviator or non- r a t e d c r e w m e m b e r i s r e q u i r e d t o p e r f o r m . T h e e v a l u a t i o n i s conducted to determine the examinee’s ability to perform assigned flight duties. The evaluation will— (1) Consist of the flight evaluation described in the appropriate ATM. (2) Be conducted by a designated IP, SP, FI, or SI to establish initial qualification in an aircraft series and, once each year. b. Instrument flight evaluation.
An instrument flight evaluation will determine examinee’s ability to perform assigned flight duties under IMC. (1) The evaluation will be conducted— (a) Per TC 1-210 and the appropriate ATM. (b) Annually, in an aircraft equipped with dual controls, by an IE qualified and current in aircraft category or in a compatible simula- tor by an IE qualified in the aircraft category. Simultaneous evalua- t i o n s o f t w o a v i a t o r s m a y b e c o n d u c t e d i f b o t h p e r f o r m t h e maneuvers and procedures required by the ATM. (c) Annually in the examinee’s primary and alternate aircraft if dual rated and required to fly both categories.
(d) With instructor pilots in AH-1, AH-64, OH-58, and OH-6 aircraft, provided they are designated by the commander as an IP in the aircraft being flown, have undergone an instrument flight evalu- ation in the aircraft category conducted by an IE during APART or Readiness Level (RL) progression, and are current per paragraph 4- 18. (2) The commander may direct use of a compatible flight simula- tor if circumstances preclude safe, affordable, or timely evaluation in the aircraft. (3) Unusual attitudes, simulated engine shutdown or engine fail- ures, and autorotations will not be initiated while under IMC.
An IE, IP, or SP qualified and current in the aircraft being flown must be at one set of the flight controls when performing these maneuvers. If the IE is not also an IP or SP, the IE must be evaluated to perform these maneuvers. c. Proficiency flight evaluation. This evaluation is administered to any rated or nonrated crew member in any aircraft series group (para 4-19) or aircraft system he or she is required to operate. The evaluation will be conducted— (1) At the discretion of the commander. (2) At the direction of HQDA. 4–10. Failure to meet ATP requirements a. When ATP requirements are not met the commander will investigate.
After investigation, the commander will— (1) Take one of the following actions: (a) Authorize the crew member up to 30-day extension to com- plete the requirements. The 30-day extension will start after the commander completes his investigation. Commanders are not au- thorized to grant themselves a 30-day extension. (b) Request a waiver of requirements per paragraph 4-2. (c) Place the crew member before a flight evaluation board per AR 600-105. (2) Enter restrictions imposed and extensions granted in the Indi- vidual Aircrew Training Folder (IATF). (3) Enter extensions and waivers granted on the crew member on DA Form 759.
(4) Restrict aviators from performing pilot in command duties in the aircraft (primary, additional or alternate) until ATP requirements are met. b. For primary aircraft, if additional time or waiver is not gran- ted, or if requirements are not met within the authorized period, the commander will— (1) Suspend aviator from aviation service. (2) Place a military aviator before a flight evaluation board (AR 600-105). (3) Process a DAC aviator per appropriate Federal Civil Service regulations. (4) Terminate flying status order for a nonrated crew member per AR 600-106. 12 AR 95–1 • 1 September 1997
