Use exercise identifiers, not private player information. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— SESSION DETAILS Learner identifier: ____________________________________________________________ Instructor / assessor: ____________________________________________________________ Session date / agreed role or variant: ____________________________________________________________ Vessel, configuration and equipment: ____________________________________________________________ LIVE build / capability test date / tested by (if practical): ____________________________________________________________ Stop signal / recovery contact / communication arrangement: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— PURPOSE Run a short watch from briefing through a changed destination, relief and debrief. COURSE CONTEXT Lex Astra’s first integrated watch asks whether another crew can continue from the candidate’s record without the instructor repairing it. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— ENTRY Complete: FD 110, FD 120, FD 130, FD 140 Equipment: A crew, observer, tested route and backup communications. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CASE: The first independent relief 1. The brief lists a destination, alternate and four crew tasks. 2. Recovery is listed but no person has accepted it. 3. The destination changes when the incoming watch arrives. The candidate keeps their FD 110 role. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND GAME SKILLS An integrated foundation sortie Practical instruction revision 1 / 9 October 2026 Set up a complete movement Prepare one short trip with a known landing site, a nearby alternate and a two-person ground movement at arrival. Each participant demonstrates equipped protection and access to their assigned station. The pilot demonstrates the stopping check away from traffic; support verifies route and receiving access. A spoken “ready” is followed by the relevant observable action. Connect flight and ground skills At arrival, verify the ship is settled before releasing passengers. Move the ground pair using the movement-and-observation sequence from FD 130, with a confirmed return route to the ship. On a cancelled pickup, the pair returns to cover while the pilot selects the alternate. Nobody runs after a moving ramp or assumes the aircraft has seen the ground team. Recover the whole crew Use a simulated injury report to require inspection of the medical display and a transport decision without deliberately harming a student. Count those aboard, confirm the returning flight mode and complete the landing. During relief, demonstrate the actual state of the station and accessible equipment, not just the intended configuration from the first brief. PRACTICAL DRILL Run departure, transit, landing, paired ground movement and recovery with one cancelled pickup. Assess in the FD 110 role already recorded; a support candidate does not acquire Pilot credit from a shared flight. OBSERVED-SKILL CHECKS Each candidate performs the relevant readiness and movement actions personally. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ The pickup change leaves the ground pair covered and the pilot with a clear next destination. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ Every person and outstanding equipment limitation is accounted for at relief. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ Apply the technical checks in the agreed role. Discussion and simulation do not certify live handling; Crew Support evidence does not confer Pilot qualification. GAME REFERENCES The linked pages were read for this revision. Community references mix release eras; each source note identifies what is used and what is excluded. Technical explanations below are an Academy synthesis, and drills and performance checks are Academy-designed. Before practice, compare the named actions with the installed LIVE build and actual equipment. Bind actions by name rather than copying old default keys. Research is not an in-game validation. Star Citizen Wiki — Controls https://starcitizen.tools/Guide:Controls Control categories, movement axes and targeting concepts. The page contains legacy bindings and flight-system descriptions; use the installed game’s bindings, not its key table.

Official LIVE release check: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/patch-notes ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 1: Connect the separate checks Combine the route, crew tasks, communication method and recovery plan in one brief. Check that the same names and destinations appear throughout. A complete set of forms is not enough if no one has accepted the recovery task. Conduct the brief as a cross-check between people, not a reading of completed boxes. Ask the navigator to identify the alternate, the receiver to explain acceptance and the recovery owner to state their first action after a failure. A contradiction discovered here is a planning correction, not something to hide from the assessor. Practise: Find and repair an unassigned task in the watch brief. Ready when: The final brief assigns every essential task and the crew can explain the recovery plan. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 2: Respond in your trained role Use the Pilot or Crew Support role recorded in FD 110. When the destination changes, check the route, tell the affected crew and confirm the receiver. The assessor observes your decisions, not just the vessel’s eventual arrival. At the changed condition, state what remains valid as well as what changes. The crew may retain its callsigns and role allocation while replacing the destination and arrival estimate. This keeps a small amendment from becoming a confused restart and shows that the candidate understands the dependencies in the original brief. Practise: Carry out the movement and respond to a diversion. Ready when: You complete your own role’s actions and obtain acknowledgement of the change. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 3: Leave the next watch a usable record Give the next watch the current plan and unfinished work. Correct an inaccurate entry by noting what changed and why, rather than deleting it without explanation. Finish by naming one improvement for the next watch. Debrief in sequence: intended action, observed action, consequence and next improvement. Choose something another watch can implement, such as requiring a receiving acknowledgement before departure. “Be more careful” cannot be checked; a defined change can be rehearsed and compared with the next watch’s performance. Practise: Hand over and correct one log discrepancy. Ready when: The receiver accepts the open work and the correction preserves the earlier entry and reason. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— WORKED DECISION A candidate cancels the approach at the agreed limit and hands over the alternate route. The mission remains incomplete, but the observer has evidence of sound judgment. 1. Find the unassigned recovery task before departure, obtain an owner and update the shared brief. 2. Carry out the role-specific movement. On the change, confirm the alternate and give the incoming watch the current instruction. 3. Correct the old destination entry with a reason and preserve it as the earlier plan. Ask the incoming watch to state its next check without prompting. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR EXERCISE Complete the brief, changed movement and relief. Submit only the actions and decisions you personally performed, alongside the shared crew record. WHAT CHANGES The destination changes just as the next watch takes over. My decision and reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR WORKING RECORD Assigned role / accepted task owners / recovery contact ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Changed condition / individual decision / acknowledgement ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Original entry / correction and reason / relief acceptance ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CHECK YOUR REASONING Everyone arrived. What does the assessor still need? My answer before consulting the explanation: ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— EVIDENCE TO KEEP Individual observations, a role-labelled flight log and a corrected handover. Criterion 1: The final brief assigns every essential task and the crew can explain the recovery plan. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 2: You complete your own role’s actions and obtain acknowledgement of the change. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 3: The receiver accepts the open work and the correction preserves the earlier entry and reason. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— FINDINGS AND NEXT ATTEMPT Demonstrated: observed work meets the criterion. Further practice required: an observed gap needs a specific practice task. Interrupted: conditions prevented valid assessment; not a failure. Not assessed: enough evidence has not yet been collected. All three criteria need individual evidence. A team result or quiz cannot replace an unobserved practical. Practice variant for a fresh attempt: Change the receiver’s availability instead of the destination. Reobserve the missed skill while preserving the candidate’s role. My next practice task: ____________________________________________________________ Review contact: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— COMPARE AFTER ANSWERING Evidence of each candidate’s own briefing, response and handover. A team result cannot fill a gap in individual observation. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— SOURCE AND EDITION Academy Ordinance /academy/archives/academy-ordinance Governs instruction, individual assessment, conduct and review.
