"Cadet Dermont has more recorded flight time that my two junior flight instructors combined. Given his success on the written exam and previous test flights, it was an assumption that this exam would be easily one of his best. Everything was fine, and he had received full marks through the obstacle course. We were nearing the landing pad, and as always the cadets are required to land manually. Dermont was coming in perfectly, but at the last second he angled the nose of the shuttle up and we ended up overshooting the landing zone by almost sixty meters. Needless to say, this ended up severely hindering his final score. When I questioned him on what happened, he merely shrugged and apologized for misjudging. I must put in a note saying I question this reason. I have flow over two hundred final flight tests and his original vector was near perfect and can only speculate whether the overshoot was intentional." | |||

"Cadet Dermont knows his mechanical theories. And while, sure, he is better with the hands on aspect of the engineering job, he nonetheless scored excellently in all aspects of the engineering classes. Certainly well enough to be placed on a ship in the fleet. However, I just have to note this for whatever Captain may deem it worth reading. Dermont just might not be material fit for running his own crew. Now, I know his background, but I didn't see it today. We were in his final exam...a holo exercise where he takes over the role of Chief Engineer. It is designed to see how much infomation he has assimilated throught his last year and to see how he applies it in engineering. He was handling things pretty well, but at key times he failed to order the crewman to perform procedures that would have solved the problem before him. A problem that he answered without issue on the written section not an hour before. So he is either forgetting how to translate the knowledge he has into a command format or he was failing to do so intentionally. I suppose only time will tell which one. I suggest retesting one year into his commission. | |||
