Use appropriate methods and techniques to assess learner performance in ground or fligh...

Bottom line

Assessment of demonstrated ability during flight instruction must be based upon established standards of performance, suitably modified to apply to the learner’s experience and stage of development as a pilot. The assessment must consider the learner’s mastery of the elements involved in the maneuver, rather than merely the overall performance. At the conclusion of an assessment, learners should have no doubt about what they did well and what they did poorly and, most importantly, specifically how they can improve.
