Making The Grade

Self-evaluation can be an important component of a pilots ongoing training and currency efforts. If we dont know how well we did on a given flight, how will we know what to practice on the next one? How will we know how well well shoot an ILS when it counts if we cant manage one in severe clear on a nice day? Presuming you, like me, always want to fly with the fewest mistakes, some kind of self-evaluation is both necessary and appropriate. How you go about it is key.

Key Takeaways:

• Pilots should regularly self-evaluate their flights to continuously improve, identify areas for practice, and maintain proficiency against established standards.
• Effective self-evaluation involves setting clear goals and benchmarks (both tangible and intangible) before a flight, then honestly comparing actual performance against them.
• Standards for self-assessment can include maintaining precision in altitude and heading, accurate instrument approaches, and proficient ATC communication or proactive planning.
