6 PAGE A-6 QUALIFICATION STANDARDS Each course of training (TCO) contains general completion standards. Falcon Aviation Academy will strive to maintain the highest standards in any of the programs. Because Falcon Aviation Academy is an FAA approved school, regulation requires that strict adherence to standards be maintained. Therefore, a passing grade of 80% must be obtained on any written exams. Flight training progress should allow satisfactory progress with no more than 20% above the planned hours. If a stage check is failed, up to 4 hours may be allowed for retraining. The Chief Instructor must approve any time in excess of this. IDENTIFICATION OF BELOW NORMAL PROGRESS The guidelines and procedures set forth below are intended to provide a reliable means of identifying less than satisfactory progress. A progress review is intended to help identify the underlying causes of difficulty and give needed direction to re-establish satisfactory progress. It is intended that early identification and remedial action should promote and maintain a higher level of learning and flight proficiency for all Falcon Aviation Academy graduates. A student will be considered weak and in need of a progress review when any one or a combination of the following conditions exists: Receives three (3) below standard flight progress grades in succession. Fails to progress within syllabus time. For this purpose, the phrase progress within syllabus time means the satisfactory completion of a stage of instruction or block of learning as set forth in the syllabus, within the training hours allotted plus not more than 20% extra time. Fails a stage check after the second attempt. Fails to maintain an academic average of at least 80%. Displays erratic performance or otherwise gives indications of poor piloting ability or judgment to the extent the instructor is compelled to report such occurrences to the Chief or Assistant Chief Flight Instructor. When a student is weak, the following procedures will apply: During a progress review, the Chief Flight Instructor, Assistant Chief Flight Instructor, or Designated Student advisor will notify the student.. The instructor will be consulted and when appropriate, attend the review to lend additional help to ascertain the student s difficulty. After a full discussion with the student of the steps that should be taken to resolve weak areas, specific guidance will be given by the instructor with regard to the nature and amount of remedial instruction and flight hours granted. As part of the progress review, the student will be advised of the extra training cost resulting from the any additional instruction; and how the current level of progress may affect or bear upon subsequent progress to be expected in this or future programs. Students will be advised only by designated members of the staff experienced in flight-testing and evaluation of pilots. The Chief Flight Instructor may conduct an observation flight. This may be the form of a retake of a failed stage check. An instructor change may be made in order to promote learning. The Chief Flight Instructor may give an evaluation check flight if it is considered to be in the best interest of the student. Evaluation checks may substitute for a required stage check. In the event the evaluation check is failed, the Chief Flight Instructor will determine what additional training is warranted prior to another evaluation check and/or the student will be advised by the Chief Flight Instructor of his professional opinion regarding the possibility of discontinuing training. Falcon Aviation reserves the right to terminate any student for unsatisfactory progress at any time or for behavior, which jeopardizes safety or the standards of the school.

7 PAGE A-7 A record of all progress review and evaluation checks, as well as findings, will be entered in the student s flight progress log. QUALITY CONTROL To achieve the objectives of this program, Falcon Aviation Academy will accomplish the following: Provide Initial Instructor Training for all IP s Each IP must attend annual ground and flight recurrent training Each IP must attend an upgrade course within 12 months * Each IP will be reviewed by the Chief Instructor every 12 months *An upgrade course is an additional rating on a Pilot or Flight Instructor certificate, and additional Ground Instructor certificate or any other technical or academic course related to aviation.

PREVIOUS CREDIT The student who has prior flying experience is eligible for credit towards the hourly requirements established for each FAA pilot certificate or rating. Qualified students are thus provided an opportunity to achieve their objectives in a flexible time frame commensurate with their abilities and flying background. It is the policy of Falcon Aviation Academy to grant credit to the maximum extent possible under the provisions of FAA regulations. Credit that may be assigned is governed by the FAR (c), which is quoted in part below: 1. If the credit is based upon a part 141 approved training course, the credit given that student for the previous pilot experience and knowledge may be 50% of the curriculum requirements and must be based upon a proficiency test or knowledge test, or both, conducted by the receiving pilot school. 2. If the credit is not based upon a part 141-approved training course, the credit given that student for the previous pilot experience and knowledge shall not exceed more than 25% of the curriculum requirements and must be based upon a proficiency test or knowledge test, or both, conducted by the receiving pilot school.

14 PAGE A-14 The FAA regulation quoted above permits Falcon Aviation Academy to give a student credit for previous flying experience for up to one-half of the hourly requirements for a program. This credit is subject to a review and evaluation by the Chief Flight Instructor as to the applicability of those hours to the Falcon Aviation Academy training syllabus. The regulations permit credit to be awarded in cases where a student gained flying experience at another FAA certified flight school in the same program of instruction. In this case, when a student is transferring schools and desires credit transfer, the student must submit a 141 transcript that certifies the amount of training received and the result of each stage and final test given to that student. The transcript must be signed by a school official and contain the schools or Air Agency certificate number. DRESS CODE All personnel are expected to present a professional look while in attendance on school property. Instructors will dress in the school shirt and wear casual dress pants. GRADING An event grading system is used to measure performance of each training session. This system allows the IP to accurately describe the knowledge and skill of the trainee and to pass the information to additional IP s as necessary. It also provides the trainee with a true assessment of performance. Grading is as follows: PAPER SYSTEM T = Maneuver or procedure do not meet lesson completion requirements S = Maneuver or procedure meets or exceeds lesson completion requirements ELECTRONIC SYSTEM The records used in the electronic Myfbo system are supporting documents to the FAA approved paper record system. STAGE CHECKS The purpose of the stage check is to measure the effectiveness of the training, ground or flight, knowledge or skill. The check looks at both the trainee and the quality of the training provided; therefore the IP is evaluated also. All lessons within a stage must be completed prior to advancing to the next stage. If a check is unsatisfactory, it must be trained and retest prior to advancement. Only the Chief or Assistant Chief Instructor will conduct a final stage check unless authorized by the chief instructor. FLIGHT TESTS All flight checks are conducted in accordance with FAR Part 61 and with the applicable Practical Test Standards. All courses of training will meet or exceed the Practical Test Standards.

15 PAGE A-15 DISPATCH OF AIRCRAFT (See also Dispatcher Responsibilities) The following rules apply to the dispatch of any aircraft: 1. Each flight must be scheduled. 2. The Dispatcher, Instructor and/or trainee if solo, must verify the maintenance status of the aircraft. 3. No aircraft will be dispatched with an open discrepancy. 4. A dispatch log must be completed. 5. A weight and balance log must be completed. 6. No solo flight will be allowed unless the Instructor is present. SOLO FLIGHTS An authorized flight instructor must approve any solo flight by a student pilot and that instructor must be present at the airport. Any solo cross country flight is considered dispatched for the entire trip unless the flight is diverted or if delayed of an intermediate stop for more than one hour. In that case the instructor and student must be in phone contact prior to release of the next segment. TIME REQUIREMENTS Time period for each stage of training is 90 days. Any stage not completed within 90 days must be evaluated by the Chief Instructor. An evaluation will be given to determine if further training will be allowed under FAR 141. DESCRIPTION OF TESTS AND CHECKS Falcon Aviation Academy will use stage tests provided by Jeppesen. These tests are part of the courseware purchased with a program. Written tests are administered by an Instructor. A master answer guide is stored in a secure location. Flight stage checks are conducted in accordance with the training program.
