Who uses the Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, and Unsatisfactory columns in Block 11 of FAA Form 3120-25?

• A. Operations Supervisor
• B. OJTI
• C. Developmental
• D. Training team

Answer: (A)

In this form section, the ratings Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, and Unsatisfactory are the final performance judgments tied to a trainee’s on-the-job work. The person who makes and records those judgments is the supervisor who oversees the trainee day to day. They’re in the best position to judge whether tasks meet the required standard, need improvement, or are not acceptable in real work conditions, and they sign off on the trainee’s progress.

The on-the-job training instructor (OJTI) observes and documents performance, providing input, but the formal rating in this section is the supervisor’s responsibility. The Developmental staff and Training team contribute guidance, curriculum, and support, but they do not typically place the formal performance rating in Block 11.
