Performance evaluation, refer to the student evaluation plan in the student guide.

Evaluation

Instructional Lead-In

As with all equipment, if it is not properly cared for it will not remain operational. Checking the oil, water and tires etc. is the operators responsibility. If your assigned equipment is not kept operational, you will not be able to accomplish your mission. Pay close attention and learn how to perform these simple checks to ensure you and your machine can successfully complete your units missions.
