well some clubs have pilot rankongs determined by performing manuvers,here is an example from my club.


Concord Skyhawk's
Flight Proficiency Program
The following section describes the five levels which
make up the Concord Skyhawk's Flight Proficiency Program.
Level I is mandatory for all flying members to fly without an
instructor. Levels II, III, IV, and V are optional.
Flight tests are given by the flight committee and
are limited to two attempts per level per day. Advancement
between levels is limited to no more than one level per day.
When a member feels he or she is ready to advance to the
next level, that member should notify someone on the flight
committee so that a flight test can be arranged. A flight committee
member or club officer and one Level I club member
must be present for a flight test to be official.
If a level II, III, IV, or V test is not passed on the first
attempt, only those maneuvers that were not successfully completed
need to be repeated. If any portion of a Level I test is
done improperly, however, the entire test must be repeated.
Level I:
This level requires only a minimum amount of skill.
Its purpose is to demonstrate to the club that you are aware
of safety guidelines and to confirm that you have the ability
to maintain control of your aircraft through a variety of flight
and non-flight situations. Upon successful completion of
this level, the club will award you a set of wings at the next
scheduled meeting.
Level II:
The second level requires intermediate skill. Completing
this level shows that you have mastered the basics of RC
flight and can perform simple aerobatics. Upon successful
completion of this level, the club will award you a set of silver
wings at the next scheduled meeting.
Level III:
This level is for the intermediate to advanced flier who
is able to perform moderate aerobatics and has developed a
good sense of flight coordination. Upon successful completion
of this level, the club will award you a secondary level,
silver set of wings at the next scheduled meeting.
Level IV:
The fourth level is for the advanced flier who is able
to perform moderate aerobatics with well-defined and properly
executed maneuvers. Upon successful completion of this
level, members receive a secondary level, gold set of wings
at the next scheduled meeting.
Level V:
The final level is for the expert flier who not only has
the ability to perform difficult aerobatics and execute complex
maneuvers, but can do so with a reasonable amount of expertise
and finesse. Upon successful completion of this level,
members receive a gold bar at the next scheduled meeting.

The following is a brief description of maneuvers for each level. When you attempt to
pass a level, a flight committee member will coach you through each maneuver. If your
plane is not capable of performing the maneuvers in Level I, a trainer aircraft and radio
can be used.
Level I
1) Demonstrate proper range checking techniques and preflight checks.
2) Start engine and taxi to designated runway.

notice there is no expert ranking but each is tougher than the one before.you should be able to hudge yourself and see where you stand.the rest is just practice with a plane cabable of the manuevers
