3. Scoring Rubrics for Flight Simulation (25%)


Band 1 (1-3)
Band 2 (4-5)
Band 3 (6-7)
Take-off
Poor control of aircraft. Aircraft drifts far from centreline and is not corrected. Rotation speed or technique is poorly used.
Acceptable/Above average handling. Aircraft straying from centreline is quickly corrected. Proper rotation speed and technique used.
Confident in handling of aircraft

Perfect handling of aircraft. No drifting from centreline and all speeds and attitudes used are perfect. Extremely confident in handling of aircraft
Upwind
Aircraft weaves in and out. Heading, speed and altitude vary. Poor control of aircraft.
Most parameters flown correctly, slight drift in heading/altitude/speed.
Steady climb at full power used.

Perfect handling of aircraft. Proper climbing technique used on full power. All parameters correct.
Crosswind
Poor/unsteady rate of climb is performed. Full power is not used in a climb. Not levelling off before circuit altitude. Not correcting heading drift and incorrect turning onto downwind.
Acceptable rate of climb, pilot compensates for a dip or rise in speed as required. Pilot correctly levels off at the circuit altitude. Heading drift corrected and turn onto downwind is accurate.

Perfect rate of climb, pilot maintains perfect climbing speed and level off correctly upon reaching circuit altitude. Turn onto downwind is also perfect.
Downwind
No attempt made at maintaining: 1) Spacing from runway
2) Circuit altitude
3) Downwind heading.
Poor aircraft handling and trimming.

Maintain parameters to a satisfactory extent. Flies downwind leg accurately and displays proper trimming techniques.
Maintain parameters near perfect. Perfect trimming techniques with minimal loss of height.
Base

(Turning point: 45 degrees to runway)
Poor entry and descent techniques. Descent is unstable and does not turn at the appropriate point on the circuit. All other parameters not flown well.

Satisfactory techniques and stability on the descent. Initiation of descent takes place within limits (40 to 50 degrees).
Parameters flown correctly.
Perfect technique and control of the aircraft on the descent. Perfect timing when initiating the turn onto base. Parameters flown perfectly.
Final
Turn to final done incorrectly. Overshooting or undershooting of the approach path. Incorrect height maintained. Poor judgement and anticipation.
Poor effort to maintain centreline or correction for entry into approach. Aircraft is poorly set up for landing.

Turn to final done correctly. Slight overshooting or undershooting. Satisfactory judgement and anticipation.
Efforts are made to maintain centreline and corrections for approach. Aircraft is set up for approach accurately.

Turn to final executed perfectly. No overshooting or undershooting. All turns and descents performed perfectly and accurately. Aircraft is set up for perfect approach.
Landing
Poor landing techniques. No attempt made to flair out. Poor in maintaining centreline, aim point, and speed. Hard landing.
Satisfactory landing techniques. Flair out is done correctly but is either slightly shallow or poorly timed. Able to maintain centreline, aim point, and speed. Landing rate is satisfactory.

Perfect use of landing techniques. Flair out is perfectly executed and maintaining of parameters. Smooth landing.
General
General score on entire flight (1-7)
TOTAL
8 criteria x 7 marks each = 56

56 points will converted to a score out of 25% of the overall score.
