Grade 4 indicates pass, exceeding standards. Grade 3 indicates pass, meeting standards. Grade 2 indicates partial pass with one or more segments requiring re-testing or remediation. Grade 1 indicates fail with a full re-test required.

EXAMINER’S NOTES

Great work, sir! Only two notes: best practice is to scan for traffic before jumping to warp (even if control advises us we’re clear), and I might’ve taken a shallower approach on our atmospheric entry to prevent the deflector from working harder than it needed to. But your Advanced qualification is hereby totally certified. Congratulations!

STARTUP CHECKS

  • Monitors automated startup diagnostic check
  • Completes manual test of critical systems: life support, inertial dampeners, deflector system(s), RCS thrusters, impulse engines
  • Identifies any system errors/flags and determines if vessel is serviceable for flight

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

COURSE PLOTTING

  • Inputs predetermined destination on nav computer and verifies route is correct
  • Contacts destination with intentions and estimated time of arrival
  • Determines appropriate corrective action for hypothetical emergency situations

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

DEPARTURE

Note: Autopilot may not be used for this segment

  • Obtains clearance for departure from appropriate traffic control authority
  • Exits docking bay/port at a safe speed without posing risk to any other vessel, object or personnel
  • Accurately complies with all departure instructions or, if unable to do so, promptly informs traffic control authority with justification

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

EN-ROUTE

  • Intercepts initial course vector as soon as clear of traffic control area
  • Accelerates to appropriate impulse speed or warp factor for route
  • Monitors communication systems and sensors for other nearby vessels

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

MANUAL ATMOSPHERIC RE-ENTRY (ADVANCED)

Note: Autopilot may not be used. This segment is omitted for flight tests of type “Small Craft, Basic”

  • Enters standard orbit of an acceptable planetary body
  • Decelerates below orbital velocity to descend towards surface
  • Prevents excessive acceleration to maintain safe hull temperature with RCS thrusters

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

APPROACH AND DOCKING

  • Requests arrival instructions from appropriate traffic control authority
  • Slows to safe maneuvering speed prior to entering traffic control area
  • Accurately complies with instructions and secures vessel at correct docking bay/port

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

SIMULATED SYSTEM FAILURE

Note: During any one preceding segment, examiner will simulate a failure of one flight-related system of their choosing

  • Remains calm and correctly identifies problem
  • Determines and applies appropriate corrective action
  • Assesses if further corrective action is necessary

GRADE 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
