## Abstract

A system and method of evaluating and examining a student pilot in an automated, consistent, unbiased way using a flight data recorder and analyzing the flight data recorded in real time.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot comprising:
a. a flight data recording device affixed to an aircraft collecting flight data;
b. a software program running on a computer processor accessing the flight data recorded by the flight data recording device;
c. wherein the software program running on the computer processor calculates the difference between proposed flight data provided prior to the beginning of a maneuver and actual flight data recorded while the maneuver was conducted and calculates a score based on the difference between the proposed data and the actual data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the computer processor is located inside the flight data recording device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the computer processor is located outside the flight data recording device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the software program running on the computer processor determines whether the student pilot has passed or failed the maneuver based on the calculated score.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the proposed flight data describes one maneuver.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the proposed flight data describes more than one maneuver.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the flight data recording device is a Garmin G-1000.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A consistent unbiased automated method for evaluating and examining a student pilot of claim 1 wherein the flight data recording device is a Wingbug.
