- When you agree to take this role and upon completion of our evaluation, we expect you to prepare dutifully before an Operation on the Air Frame. -

- What does Dutifully prepare mean?

:The expectation is at least an hour before the OP you take time to put in attempting to fly. 
:You know you best so do what you need to do to be prepared so you're nerves don't get the best of you when it's time to fly.
