The planning and organization for professional post-flight activities is essential. Debriefing needs to be valid and comprehensive.

(a)  The recommending instructor should be on hand for the post-flight debriefing.

(b)  The candidate should be advised of the outcome as soon as practicable.

(c)  Highlight above standard performance.

(d)  Debrief using the flight test report. The debriefing should begin with the strong points and work towards the weaker performance areas. The candidate may express where they did poorly.

(e)  Use the flight test guide to explain the reason for assessment of major deviations or unacceptable performance.

(f)  Offer recommendations to correct any errors or deficiencies.

(g)  Afterwards, brief the flight instructor on the candidate’s performance. This should be completed without the candidate present. Care should be taken not to criticize the instructor.

Note:  Do not belabour your debrief but keep it to important points only. Do not get involved in arguments about the conduct of the test or the result. If there is a problem, record the details and actions and inform the Regional Superintendent - Flight Training.
