Automated Red Folder Integration
Revolutionizing Air Force Pilot Training Audits
Overview
The Red Folder process is a critical component of Air Force pilot training, serving as an audit of student performance and training consistency. Traditionally, this process requires significant instructor time and effort, often leading to operational disruptions and inconsistent evaluations. Our Automated Red Folder Integration revolutionizes this process by leveraging advanced software solutions to streamline and enhance the audit workflow.
A Red Folder audit examines a student's training records to identify performance inconsistencies and determine whether any issues stem from squadron training methods or the student's aptitude. Common triggers for a Red Folder audit include failed check rides or consistent poor performance. The audit assesses factors such as:
-
Training Inconsistencies: Evaluates if training gaps or squadron deficiencies contributed to the student's struggles.
-
Instructor Continuity: Measures the effectiveness of student-instructor pairings by tracking the number of consecutive flights with the same instructor.
-
Performance Trends: Analyzes past failed performances to identify recurring issues and their root causes.
