QEs

• Evaluate a candidate as a team member or leader
  in stressful situations. A coxswain, for example,
  holds the ultimate safety of the crew and vessel
  in their hands.
• Evaluate seamanship, specific task/procedure
  skills
• Evaluate future independent performance safely,
  under USCG policy, and as a USCG representative

REVIEW

The Check Ride

• is inherently stressful for the candidate real
  capabilities become visible because of training
  and candidates own confidence in the face of
  evaluation stress.
• QEs must observe and let the candidate make
  decisions.but step in and terminate any
  evolution that has become unsafe. (The
  coxswain-of-record is ultimately responsible for
  safety.)
• QEs explain their evaluations, not remain forever
  silent and only say go/no-go at the end.

5
Before Any Check Ride

• Candidates must truly be ready. Mentors must
  agree (for initial qualification). The Flotilla
  Commander must agree (either through personal
  knowledge or by knowledge of the FSO-MT and/or
  FSO-OP).
• Many people are involved with a check ride
  (facilities, crews, QEs, candidate(s)) it is
  important to make sure this will be a productive
  session, and not have to revert to a training
  session
