In the Replay stage, what does the instructor do?

• A. Listens and goes over the discrepancies
• B. Grades the performance immediately
• C. Demonstrates the maneuver again
• D. Observes without comment

Answer: (A)

The Replay stage is about feedback and learning through discussion of what happened during the flight. The instructor listens to the student’s account, reviews what didn’t go as planned, and goes over the discrepancies—explaining why those errors occurred and how to correct them. This debrief helps the student repair their mental model and prepare for the next iteration. Grading immediately isn’t the focus of this stage, and simply repeating the maneuver or standing by without comment wouldn’t provide the needed guidance.
