When local supplements are published, notify or send a final copy to H AMC/A3V, parent MAJCOM, and appropriate NAF, if applicable Requisition and Distribution Procedures. nit commanders may provide copies for all aircrew members and associated support personnel Improvement Recommendations. Send comments and suggested improvements to this instruction on AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication, to the H AMC/A3V Community of Practice website. Routing procedures of the AF Form 847 for all Active Duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve nits will be in accordance with (IAW) AFI , Flight Manual Procedures, and MAJCOM supplement and AFI , Publications and Forms Management Evaluations. This instruction establishes standardized instrument (INSTM), qualification (AL), mission (MSN), SPOT, and instructor (INSTR) evaluation criteria. It also establishes the areas/subareas necessary for the successful completion of evaluations, and which required areas/subareas will be considered critical and/or non-critical Evaluation Requirements. Accomplish combined evaluations whenever practical. Crew Resource Management (CRM) skills will be evaluated on all evaluations. KC-135 aircrew members will complete the following evaluations (except SPOT evaluations), at 17-month frequency according to AFI V2, and the appropriate MAJCOM supplement. nits collocated with a simulator facility will conduct pilot INSTM and AL flight evaluations in the simulator. The OG/CC is the waiver authority for conducting INSTM/AL evaluations in the aircraft due to simulator availability. Forward approved waivers to AMC/A3VK through AFRC/A3V and NGB/A3O. In addition, document waivers in standardization and evaluation board (SEB) minutes. nits without co-located simulators may elect to send crews to simulator locations to perform INSTM/AL evaluations Instrument (INSTM) Evaluation. All KC-135 pilots and navigators will successfully complete a periodic instrument evaluation including an open-book, written instrument examination and an instrument simulator or flight evaluation ualification (AL) Evaluation. All KC-135 crewmembers will successfully complete a periodic qualification evaluation including the requisite open-book, closed-book and Boldface written examinations, emergency procedures evaluation (EPE), publications check, and a simulator or flight evaluation Mission (MSN) Evaluations. The KC-135 primary mission is tanker air to air refueling. See crew position chapters for additional mission evaluations. All KC-135 crewmembers will complete a mission evaluation as required in AFI Volume 2 and MAJCOM SP. Except as noted in the following crew position chapters, all crewmembers will be evaluated in designated areas/subareas required in the performance of a single operational or training sortie to successfully complete the MSN evaluation All primary crewmembers must be mission qualified in each specific mission prior to performing any maneuvers associated with that mission (example: A receiver air to air refueling qualified aircraft commander will not perform any receiver air to air refueling if the other primary pilot does not have a receiver air to air refueling mission

7 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE qualification). Exception: Crewmembers not qualified in the specific mission may perform maneuvers under the supervision of a mission qualified instructor. Refer to AFI 11-2KC-135 Volume 3 to determine whether instructor supervision is required to be direct or indirect for the specific maneuver Instructor (INSTR) Evaluations. To initially qualify as an instructor in the KC-135, crewmembers will successfully complete an initial instructor qualification course and evaluation. Subsequently, aircrew members designated as instructors will be evaluated on their ability to instruct during all periodic evaluations. Individuals may accomplish a AL, INSTM, or MSN evaluation in conjunction with initial INSTR evaluation if all required items of the respective evaluation are accomplished. Refer to the specific aircrew chapter for requirements SPOT Evaluations. A SPOT evaluation is an evaluation not intended to satisfy the requirements of a periodic (e.g., INSTM, AL, MSN) evaluation. SPOT evaluations have no specific requisites or requirements unless specified in this AFI or MAJCOM/nit supplement. See AFI V2 for options to convert a SPOT evaluation to meet requirements of a periodic evaluation (434ARW) SPOT Evaluations. The aircrew member will be evaluated on any activity performed during the sortie, whether scheduled or unscheduled. The examiner may require additional items to be accomplished during the evaluation. Examiners will use sound judgment when selecting appropriate additional items to be evaluated. Pilots being evaluated should accomplish at a minimum one approach and one landing Emergency Procedures Evaluations (EPE). See AFI V2 and the following: Evaluate MSN specific emergency procedures and system knowledge during MSN evaluations. A single EPE may be used for separate evaluations (e.g. a MSN and INSTM/AL eval) but the combined EPE must be of a scope and duration to cover required areas and must be within the requisite zone for each evaluation. Refer to the specific aircrew chapter for requirements and the following: nits will develop EPE program requirements (topics, special interests, etc.) and publish in unit supplements. The EPE will include areas commensurate with the examinee s level of training, qualification (e.g. initial, line, instructor, evaluator) or as specified in AFI V2 and MAJCOM Supplement. nits may utilize EPs demonstrated during simulator evaluations to fulfill this requirement (434ARW) Emergency Procedures Evaluations (EPE). The EPE topics listed in this supplement are suggested topics. The examiner may use any topic applicable for the evaluation being administered. In addition to the EPE topics listed in this supplement, evaluate local and higher headquarters established Special Interest Items and crewmember s familiarity with information contained in the Flight Crew Information File and Flight Crew Bulletin. See paragraph 2.7 and table 2.3 for pilot EPE topics and paragraph 4.5 and table 4.5 for boom EPE topics Examinees may use publications that are normally available in-flight. The examinee must be able to recite all Boldface items from memory and provide the initial actions of selected emergency procedures that would not allow time for reference.

8 8 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE Examinees receiving an overall EPE grade of unqualified will be placed in supervised status until recommended additional training and re-evaluation are completed. Examinees receiving an overall EPE grade of unqualified because of unsatisfactory Boldface procedures will not be permitted to fly in their aircrew position until a successful re-evaluation is accomplished. Accomplish additional training IAW AFI V Evaluation Prefixes/nique MSN Suffixes. se AFI V2 evaluation prefixes for AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew ualification, and AF Form 942, Record of Evaluation. tilize Cargo or ARR (air refueling receiver) parenthetical (e.g. MSN (Cargo) or MSN (ARR)) to distinguish unique MSN evaluations in the flight phase section of the AF Form 8 and AF Form 942. The first entry of the AF Form 8, Examiners Remarks, A. Mission Description will describe the circumstances for any required evaluation prefix or unique mission suffix Multiple ualification/difference Evaluations. When multiple aircraft qualifications are to be maintained, follow guidance in AFI V1 and AFI V2 and MAJCOM Supplement as applicable. The KC-135 community uses the phrase difference to describe training of one or more areas to meet certification requirements in the same series aircraft in the same MDS (e.g. Pacer CRAG Block 30 to Block 40, MPRS, T-Model difference certification) Manual Gear Extension and Manual Flap Lowering. Mandatory on all navigator and boom operator initial qualification and initial instructor boom/navigator evaluations. Flap lowering may be accomplished in-flight or on the ground. Optional item for all other evaluations Grading Policies se the grading criteria in this instruction in conjunction with AFI V2 to grade areas/subareas accomplished during an evaluation When in-flight or simulator evaluation of a required area is not possible, the area may be verbally evaluated. Flight examiners will make every effort to evaluate all required areas/subareas via flight, simulator or static training tools before resorting to this provision, to include scheduling an evaluation completion sortie/simulator. When a verbal evaluation is used, the evaluator will identify the area or items within the area that were verbally evaluated on AF Form 8 as an examiner remark (following the mission description) For pilots only, if the flight manual recommends a specific airspeed range for performance of a maneuver, the flight examiner will apply the grading criteria to the upper and lower limits of that range Flight examiners will use sound judgment in the application of the grading criteria in this instruction to determine the final grade Grading System. Refer to AFI V Conduct of Evaluations Flight examiners will pre-brief the examinee on the conduct, purpose, requirements of the evaluation, and all applicable evaluation criteria. Flight examiners will then evaluate the examinee in each graded area/subarea.

9 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE Flight examiners will normally not evaluate personnel they have primarily trained, recommended for upgrade evaluation, or who render their effectiveness/performance reports nless otherwise specified, flight examiners may conduct the evaluation in any crew position/seat which will best enable the flight examiner to observe the examinee s performance. As a last resort, evaluator pilots may conduct evaluations when scheduled as primary aircrew members and in this case will perform all duties required of that position (e.g., mandatory advisory calls, etc.) Note discrepancies and deviations from prescribed tolerances and performance criteria during the evaluation. Compare the examinee s performance with the tolerances provided in the grading criteria and assign an appropriate grade for each area An evaluation will not be changed to a training mission to avoid documenting substandard performance, nor will a training mission be changed to an evaluation The judgment of the flight examiner, guidance provided in AFI V2, and this instruction will be the determining factors in assigning an overall grade. The flight examiner will thoroughly critique all aspects of the flight. During the critique, the flight examiner will review the examinee s overall rating, specific deviations, area/subarea grades assigned, and any additional training required In the event of unsatisfactory performance, the flight examiner will determine additional training requirements and restrictions, whether critical or non-critical. Normally, additional training should not be accomplished on the same flight. EXCEPTION: Additional training on the same flight is allowed when, in the evaluator s judgment, unique situations presenting valuable training opportunities (e.g., thunderstorm avoidance, crosswind landings) exist. This option requires utmost flight examiner discretion and judicious application. When used, the examinee must be informed of when the additional training begins and ends When evaluations are less than -1 performance, the flight examiner will debrief the examinee and examinee s commander (supervisor) A certified simulator/training device will be used to accomplish additional training and re-checks when available and when criteria to be graded can be realistically accomplished in the device The flight examiner who administered the original evaluation will not administer the recheck, unless there is no other option available to ensure timely completion of evaluation nsatisfactory Performance Evaluator Responsibilities. Refer to AFI V se of AF Form 3862, Aircrew Evaluation Worksheet. nits (normally OGV) will overprint AF Form 3862/PEX version, using the examples at Attachment 2, Attachment 3, or Attachment 4, to use as an evaluation worksheet. Copy each title, area number and text (in the order illustrated) to the appropriate blocks. nits may add special interest items and/or local evaluation requirements. se the worksheet to ensure all required areas are evaluated. File the examiner-signed worksheet or draft copy of the AF Form 8 in the aircrew member s Flight Evaluation Folder (FEF) immediately after the flight evaluation as a temporary record of the evaluation results. Maintain until the finished AF Form 8 is added to the FEF, then discard.

10 10 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE Trends. Record performance data for tracking aircrew trends. Performance information is required only for major areas; units may optionally record information for subareas (example: a full flap landing followed by a touch-and-go can be recorded under the major area of Landings or can optionally be recorded under both Normal Landing (50 Flap) and Touch-and-Go ) (434ARW) Trends. Trends will be recorded using major trend areas and not subareas. Examiner comments can be used to target more specific areas within the major trend area when needed Aircrew Testing. For all initial and R evaluations, testing requirements are prerequisites. For all other evaluations, testing requirements are requisites. See specific testing requirements in AFI V2 and include the following: Secure uestion Bank (SB). Each unit will maintain a SB from which Open Book and Instructor Open Book exams will be derived. The unit SB may be a single question bank (containing all questions for all crewmembers) or may be separate question banks (separate question banks for each crew position, mission, and/or aircraft type; there may also be classified and unclassified SBs). As a minimum, SB questions will be drawn from appropriate information contained in FCIF Volumes I, II, III, and IV (per AFI Volume 2); however, questions may come from any source deemed pertinent to the operation of unit aircraft and performance of the assigned mission Open Book Exam (Open Book). The open book examination will consist of a minimum of 40 questions from the SB Closed Book (Closed Book). The closed book exam will consist of a minimum of 20 questions derived from the Master uestion File (MF). All crewmembers with Boldface responsibilities will complete a Boldface exam in conjunction with the closed book examination Instrument Exam. Pilots and navigators only, see AFI V2 instrument requirements Typical KC-135 Evaluation Profile nits determine a flight evaluation profile to maximize successful completion of all evaluation requirements on a single in-flight mission. A typical profile may include takeoff, cruise, rendezvous, air to air refueling (AAR), and transition when pilot AL and INSTM portions are to be accomplished in-flight along with the MSN evaluation. Aircrew training simulator (ATS) profiles will be used for accomplishment of simulator evaluations. Flight examiners may alter the order of maneuver accomplishment and may request to see additional maneuvers. Flight examiners may not alter mission parameters (weather, winds, gross weight, etc) from restrictions placed in this volume or H AMC approved ATS courseware (434ARW) KC-135 Evaluation Profile. Examiners will comply with the evaluation profiles given in this supplement, but no specific order of event accomplishment is required. Examiners are expected to know and ensure compliance with all evaluation requirements. Examiners should review profiles with the examinee during mission planning to ensure all requirements are included. During Instructor Pilot (IP) evaluations, examiners will place

11 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE particular emphasis on the examinee s ability to provide accurate, timely and effective instruction during the sortie. Refer to the appropriate crew position AF Form 3862, Flight Evaluation Worksheet, for a complete listing of evaluation areas Senior Officer Requirements. See AFI V1, Aircrew Training, and the appropriate aircrew chapter.

12 12 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE 2011 Chapter 2 PILOT EVALATIONS 2.1. General. This chapter standardizes initial, periodic, and re-qualification evaluations, including the requirements for instrument, qualification, mission, and instructor pilot evaluations Flight evaluation of INSTM/AL is not authorized when ATS is collocated with unit of assignment (EXCEPTION: Refer to paragraph 1.9). Events that are accomplished during ATS portion of the evaluation are not required to be evaluated again (e.g. if a nonprecision approach is flown during a one engine inoperative approach and landing, it does not have to be re-accomplished during the instrument phase of the check ride); however a landing will be accomplished in flight in conjunction with the MSN evaluation. Events accomplished during the flight portion of the evaluation are not required to be evaluated again during the ATS portion of the evaluation Examiner pilots will utilize the standard ATS evaluation profile. Ceiling for all simulator evaluations will be set no lower than 200 feet above the lowest compatible circling approach minimums. Visibility will be set no lower than 1 mile above the lowest compatible circling approach minimums. Crosswinds for simulator evaluations will not be greater than 10 knots (434ARW) Simulator Evaluations. Runway Condition Reading will be wet or better Instrument Evaluations (Initial, Periodic and Re-qualifications). KC-135 instrument evaluations should be combined with a qualification evaluation. Include all items under GENERAL and INSTRMENT. Evaluations will be conducted in a certified simulator when collocated at the unit. The OG/CC is the waiver authority for conducting INST/AL evaluations in the aircraft due to simulator availability. Forward approved waivers to AMC/A3VK through AFRC/A3V and NGB/A3O. In addition, document waivers in SEB minutes (434ARW)Instrument Evaluations (Initial, Periodic and Re-qualification). Instrument (INSTM) evaluations will be conducted in the simulator as a combined evaluation with the qualification (AL) evaluation. An OG/CC waiver is required to conduct this evaluation in the aircraft. However, any INSTM evaluation events accomplished during a mission (MSN) evaluation while in the INSTM zone will count toward completion of the INSTM evaluation. Those events do not need to be re-accomplished in the simulator. Holding and circling approach will be accomplished in the simulator unless previously accomplished in the aircraft as part of the MSN evaluation. See table 2.1 for profile events required for each duty position: Instructor Pilot (IP), Aircraft Commander (AC), Mobility Pilot Development (MPD) Pilot, and Senior Officer Basic ualification Pilot ualification Evaluations (Initial, Periodic and Re-qualification). KC-135 qualification evaluations should be combined with instrument evaluation. Include all areas under GENERAL, and ALIFICATION. Evaluations will be conducted in a certified simulator when collocated at the unit. The OG/CC is the waiver authority for conducting INST/AL evaluations in the aircraft due to simulator availability. Forward approved waivers to MAJCOM/A3V who will inturn provide copies to AMC/A3VK. In addition, document waivers in SEB minutes.

13 AFI11-2KC-135V2_434ARWSP_I 15 JNE (434ARW)ualification Evaluation (Initial, Periodic and Re-qualification). AL evaluations will be conducted in the simulator as a combined evaluation with the INSTM evaluation. An OG/CC waiver is required to conduct this evaluation in the aircraft. However, any AL evaluation events accomplished during a MSN evaluation while in the AL zone will count toward completion of the AL evaluation. Those events do not need to be reaccomplished in the simulator. Accomplish a left seat landing and landing roll braking if not accomplished in the aircraft on the MSN evaluation (not required for instructor pilots flying in the right seat). The Visual Flight Rules (VFR) pattern will be accomplished in the simulator unless previously accomplished in the aircraft as part of the MSN evaluation. See table 2.1 for profile events required for each duty position. At examiner discretion, the following optional events may be evaluated: engine start malfunctions, engine fire on the ground, and takeoff abort FPC (qualified legacy copilot). Evaluate pilot duties performed from the right seat. Engine-out activity, touch and go, and 30/40 flap landing not required FP (flight pilot e.g. senior officer), FP (pilot initial qualification pilot PI ), MP (mission pilot), IP (instructor pilot). Evaluate FP and MP on at least one landing in both left and right seats. A 30 or 40 flap landing is required for dual seat qualified pilots but may be accomplished in either seat. Four-Engine pattern work not required. An instructor pilot may receive all periodic evaluations in either seat, but are not required to be evaluated in both. If an IP evaluation takes place in the right seat, taxi and full-stop braking do not need to be evaluated Mission Evaluations (Initial, Periodic, and Re-qualifications). Include all areas under GENERAL and MISSION (Tanker AAR). Rendezvous is required. Receiver must maintain the contact position (minimum duration determined by evaluator) but an actual offload is not required. Autopilot-off AAR is required on at least one contact (duration at the discretion of the evaluator). When INSTM/AL evaluation is performed in ATS, a landing will be accomplished per pilot in conjunction with the MSN evaluation (434ARW)Mission Evaluations (Initial, Periodic, and Re-qualifications). Normally, conduct all MSN evaluations in the left seat unless two pilots are being evaluated. If two pilots are being evaluated, the instructor pilot (if the crew has one) will be in the right seat. Each pilot being evaluated will accomplish at least one landing in the aircraft. Items required for the INSTM/AL evaluation that are accomplished during the MSN evaluation will count toward the INSTM/AL evaluation. Do not accomplish engine-out procedures unless an OG/CC waiver has been obtained. See Table 2.2 for profile events required for each duty position FPC. Evaluate pilot duties performed from the right seat IP, MP, FP. Pilots can be evaluated in either seat and will be evaluated on AAR and a breakaway as the pilot flying. Breakaway procedures can be evaluated with receiver not in contact, but within the AAR envelope Senior Officer Basic (AL) ualification. Senior Officer initial, periodic and requalification evaluations include the areas under GENERAL, ALIFICATION, and INSTRMENT. Area 13D, Right Seat Landing and Area 16, Simulated Engine-Out Ops are not required.

Include all areas under GENERAL and MISSION (Receiver AAR). For initial/re-qualification evaluations, rendezvous or closure from a minimum of 1 NM is required. Initial and re-qualification pilots will demonstrate 15 minutes of contact time within a 30-minute period of arriving in the astern position. Evaluate aircraft commanders in left seat. Evaluate instructors in either seat. During periodic evaluations, pilots will perform 10 minutes of contact time within a 20-minute period of arriving in the astern position. Evaluate limits demonstrations for instructor pilots, inadvertent disconnect tolerances and breakaway procedures. Conduct a portion of the evaluation with tanker autopilot off. Annotate Receiver AAR ualified in the remarks section Operational Mission Evaluation (OME). A flight evaluation given to prospective aircraft commanders prior to aircraft commander certification. The profile must be balanced between mission availability and the imperative to not delay aircraft commander certification. The evaluation profile is at the discretion of the operations group commander or equivalent. With OG/CC or equivalent approval, a full qualification/instrument and/or mission evaluation administered just prior to aircraft commander certification may satisfy this requirement. If a qualification/instrument and/or mission evaluation is used, the focus for the evaluation shall be on decision making and CRM (434ARW) Operational Mission Evaluation (OME). Local OME evaluations will be flown using the same profile as a MSN evaluation. Tactics maneuvers and formation procedures are encouraged to be added to the profile when possible. An OGV examiner will conduct all OME evaluations unless approved in advance by the OG/CC. Rendezvous and Air to Air Refueling (AAR) events are required to complete the OME. If the AAR cancels after getting airborne on the OME, subsequent sorties will be required in order to accomplish the rendezvous and AAR events Suggested profile for OME. Conduct in the left seat, ground operations, taxi, takeoff/departure, rendezvous and tanker AAR, descent/arrival, and off-station RON Documentation. Document the OME on the AF Form 8 as a SPOT evaluation and include the following comment in the remarks section, This OME was conducted in conjunction with aircraft commander certification.

Flight examiners will place particular emphasis on the examinee s ability to recognize student difficulties and provide timely, effective and corrective action. At a minimum, demonstrate and instruct a variety of approaches. NOTE 1: Pilots who desire to realign their INSTM/AL/MSN evaluation during the initial instructor evaluation will complete (demonstrate) all required areas/subareas in GENERAL, ALIFICATION, MISSION (Tanker AAR), INSTRCTOR, and complete all required requisite written examinations. NOTE 2. For Receiver AAR by an instructor pilot, limited inadvertent disconnects are permissible during a boom limits demonstration and will not be counted against the instructor pilot examinee at the examiner s discretion. NOTE 3. Initial instructor evaluations combined with a AL or MSN evaluation that results in a 3 requires successful completion of the failed AL or MSN evaluation before attempting another INIT INSTR evaluation (434ARW)Instructor Evaluation. In-unit initial instructor evaluations will be conducted by OGV examiners unless approved in advance by the OG/CC. Recurring instructor evaluations may be conducted by any examiner in the evaluation pyramid Conduct initial or requalification instructor evaluations with a qualified pilot occupying the other seat. On initial instructor evaluations, the examinee will occupy the right seat and a qualified instructor (or evaluator) will sit in the other seat for IP-only maneuvers and demos. Initial instructor evaluations are to be conducted in the simulator whenever possible and may be completed in the traffic pattern-only Administer periodic instructor evaluations in conjunction with INSTM/AL/MSN evaluation. Include all areas under GENERAL, ALIFICATION, MISSION (Tanker AAR), MISSION (Receiver AAR) (if applicable), INSTRMENT, and INSTRCTOR Emergency Procedures Evaluation (EPE). nit determines EPE requirements. EPE will normally be conducted in certified simulator in conjunction with INSTM/AL evaluation. One-on-one discussions or on-aircraft evaluation methods may be utilized when certified simulator is not available to conduct the EPE. The EPE should cover a cross section of aircraft systems. Examinees should be able to demonstrate an understanding of aircraft systems in emergency scenarios. Include situations during takeoff/climb-out, cruise, and approach to landing phases. The EPE may also include emergency egress, aircrew flight equipment (AFE), and FCIF and/or special interest identified EPE topics (434ARW)Emergency Procedures Evaluation (EPE). Suggested pilot EPE topics are listed in table 2.3. Combined EPEs for the INSTM/AL evaluation and the MSN evaluation are acceptable if accomplished within the zone for both evaluations and if it covers the scope of both evaluations. Table 2.3.
