ROTARY

- In Charlie-Mike we expect you to take this role extremely serious. Understand that you could ruin the entire mission by goofing off, showboating, or trying to go beyond your skill level. -

- 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. Whether it be on the server, on personally done on your own, please take this seriously.

- After completion and passing of our evaluation, we require Pilots to be forthcoming in the AAR process, whether verbal, or in writing after the OP.-

Forthcoming? What we require of you, is to be responsible about your flying and talk to us if there was issues, or concerns while flying in the OP. We'll have you talk about what you did well, and what you could do to improve. If you Crash, we'll require you to write up the incident in the Rotary Wing so we can review it, and discuss ways to mitigate in the future.

Evaluation Process

- We'll use an airframe that's right in the middle - a Medium AirFrame UH-60/ RHS or Vanilla -

- We'll be looking for Calm controlled handling while communicating.

- What will be involved in this evaluation:

   1. Approach to a landing.

   2. Confined Landing.

   3. Orbit of a fixed area.

   4. Nap of the Earth (NOE) route

   5. Terrain Masking Movement

- We're looking for smooth control, ingress that's not "ballooning" and with consistent flight level that leads into a smooth transition to landing.

Dsiqualification & Required Follow on Training

- Things that will lead to disqualification:

    1. Janky, over correcting flying

    2. Crashing the Helicopter repeatedly

    3. Improper Navigation

    4. Poor Communication (Little to none)
