  2. Unsatisfactory grade: ATF and pink sheet must be completed and delivered to student training immediately after all of IP's flights are complete. SNA will report to student training following debrief. Notify ODO.
  3. Incomplete event: Annotate items graded on additional ATF for SNA to present at next brief
  4. Crew Rest/Crew Day: Notify ODO if changes to schedule are necessary
