Robinson R-22 & R-44 Flight Review - WINGS
In Brief
What It Addresses
NOTE: This worksheet is optional for use by both the airman and flight instructor in conducting the preflight briefing and the post flight assessment At the completion of the flight, an assessment will be conducted independently by the airman and the flight instructor, and then compared during the post flight critique. The Flight Instructor will ensure the airman possesses the knowledge, ability to manage risks, and skills consistent in the performance of flight maneuvers specifically listed in SFAR 73 and the Areas of Operation that follow in bold text to the ACS completion standards.

NOTE: This worksheet is optional for use by both the airman and flight instructor in conducting the preflight briefing and the post flight assessment At the completion of the flight, an assessment will be conducted independently by the airman and the flight instructor, and then compared during the post flight critique. The Flight Instructor will ensure the airman possesses the knowledge, ability to manage risks, and skills consistent in the performance of flight maneuvers specifically listed in SFAR 73 and the Areas of Operation that follow in bold text to the ACS completion standards.
While this WINGS Flight Activity targets specifically the Area(s) of Operation highlighted or in bold test by the instructor, Airmen should satisfactorily demonstrate all pertinent parts of the ACS in their Preflight, Flight, and Post Flight activities consistent with their certificate or rating. For WINGS credit, the airman will satisfactorily demonstrate the maneuvers and procedures listed in SFAR No. 73 and the highlighted or bold text below for the privileges of the certificate or rating being exercised in order to act as Pilot-in-Command (PIC).
FLIGHT MANEUVERS (FM) GRADE
D - Describe – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to describe the physical characteristics and cognitive elements of the flight activities. Instructor assistance is required to successfully execute the maneuver.
E - Explain –at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to describe the flight activity and understand the underlying concepts, principles, and procedures that comprise the activity. Significant instructor effort will be required to successfully execute the maneuver. P - Practice – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to plan and execute the flight. Coaching, instruction, and or assistance from the CFI will correct deviations and errors identified by the CFI.
C - Perform – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to perform the activity without assistance from the CFI. Errors and deviations will be identified and corrected by the Airman in an expeditious manner. At no time will the successful completion of the activity be in doubt. (“Perform” will be used to signify that the Airman is satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in traditional piloting and systems operation skills for the certificate or rating being exercised in order to act as Pilot in Command.)
N/O - Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required
SINGLE PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GRADE (SRM) E- Explain – the Airman can verbally identify, describe, and understand the risks inherent in the flight. The Airman will need to be prompted to identify risks and make decisions.
P - Practice –the Airman is able to identify, understand, and apply SRM principles to the actual flight situation. Coaching, instruction, and/or assistance from the CFI will quickly correct minor deviations and errors identified by the CFI. The Airman will be an active decision maker. M/D - Manage/Decide - the Airman can correctly gather the most important data available both within and outside the cockpit, identify possible courses of action, evaluate the risk inherent in each course of action, and make the appropriate decision. Instructor intervention is not required for the safe completion of the flight.
(“M/D” will be used to signify that the Airman is satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in SRM skills for the certificate or rating being exercised in order to act as Pilot in Command.)
N/O - Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required
