16. Training Preparation Time. In addition to the hours formally planned for classes, simulators, and flights, significant additional time to prepare and study should be expected outside of scheduled training hours. This range will vary depending on the complexity of the material and individual student’s needs, and may be up to several hours per event. For simulator and flight events, specific brief and debrief times shall be programmed into the CNATRA approved Training and Learning Management System (T/LMS) and accounted for on the flight schedule, per the following table:

ADDITIONAL TRAINING TIME PER CURRICULUM HOUR/EVENT

Training Area Brief/ Preflight Debrief Total

19. Primary Instructional Methods. Lecture, Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), self- and group-paced study, simulators, and in-flight instruction.

20. Preceding Curriculum Data. This curriculum replaces CNATRAINST 1542.167A.

21. Student Performance Measurement/Application of Standards. The standards outlined in Chapter IX, Course Training Standards, are used to evaluate Naval Flight Student (NFS) performance of individual items and maneuvers. Final judgment regarding the satisfactory performance of any flight maneuver rests with the Instructor Pilot who must assess the environmental and systems factors affecting the conditions under which the performance is measured.

22. Summary of Lead/Chase Overhead. The summary of the Instructor Lead/Chase planning factor hours for the T-45 Combined MPTS are tabulated below. The tables are a compilation of the events requiring Instructor Chase that can be found in Chapters IV through VIII of this publication.

General Instructions

1. Syllabus Management

a. Distribution. Participating squadron personnel.

b. Interpretation. The syllabus is directive. Should circumstances create situations not covered within the scope of this syllabus or a specific course of action appears to conflict with other directives, consult CNATRA (N71).

c. Deviations. Document all deviations on the event’s ATF or a supplemental ATF if found after the event.

d. Changes. Recommended changes shall be submitted in accordance with CNATRAINST 1550.6F.

e. Execution

(1) Students shall execute all the events listed in the Intermediate Jet phase of this curriculum. Following completion of the Intermediate Jet phase, students shall begin the Advanced Strike phase of training.

(2) All flights shall be flown from the front cockpit unless otherwise delineated.

(3) All multiplane flights shall have a dedicated IP Lead unless otherwise noted.

f. Syllabus Description. The T-45 Combined MPTS consists of Intermediate Jet and Advanced Strike undergraduate flight training for USN, USMC, and IMS students. These two phases of training are flown in the T-45C aircraft. Each phase is divided into stages. Each stage is subdivided into training blocks. The training blocks consist of a specified number of flights.

Maneuver item files identify the acceptable level of performance that must be achieved at the completion of each training block.

g. Grade Calculation

(1) Phase Aggregate Score (PAS). A NFS’s PAS is a comparative ranking based on the previous population of completers for a specific phase of aviation training. PAS indicates only NFS performance relative to a normative population of other recent NFSs. Under the MPTS system, PAS is not by itself an indication of whether an NFS has met the criteria necessary for winging or continuation in aviation training.

(2) MPTS NFS’s Calculations. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J.

I-2

(3) NSS calculation. The following blocks/events shall not count toward NSS calculation unless overall grade is UNSAT:

OCF31XX OCF41XX FCL31XX FCL43XX CO31XX CO32XX

CQL21XX CQL31XX CQL42XX OCF4201

2. Training Management

a. Syllabus Progression

(1) Other than noted exceptions, syllabus events shall be flown sequentially within each stage. Blocks shall not be started without all prerequisites completed. Students must complete all events in their assigned phases.

(2) Where clearly identified, students may be in different stages or blocks simultaneously.

Where applicable, students will be eligible for, and shall be prepared for, more than one syllabus event. The flowcharts on pages I-3, I-4, I-5, and I-7 delineate the sequence of events and their ground training prerequisites except as listed in paragraph 1e and 2b. System training management is designed to facilitate up to two graded events (flight, simulator, exam, or combination thereof) per student per day.

b. Winged Aviators executing Pipeline Changes (e.g. E2/C2 to VFA/VAQ transition) shall execute this syllabus. Training Acceleration Program (TAP) should be utilized due to previous experience. FCLP-type landing STAGE requirements for Tailhook transitions utilizing TAP are waived at the discretion of the TRAWING Commodore. 250 FCLP-type landings required by completion of the CQL4390 Field-Check (Alternate CQL flow typically will not be utilized due to FCLP-type landing requirement not met due to TAP). Non-Tailhook transitions shall execute all FCLP-type landing Stage and CQL requirements in this instruction (See CQL Notes on VIII-1 for additional CQL requirements and scheduling restrictions).

c. Training Acceleration Program (TAP). See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

d. Maneuver Continuity. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

e. Hours/X (H/X). See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

f. Special Syllabus Requirements. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

g. Aviation Training Jacket Reviews. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

3. UNSAT Performance. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

4. Training Review Board. See CNATRAINST 1500.4J for requirements.

5. Instructor Continuity

a. Students may be assigned up to two on-wing instructors. Familiarization blocks FAM41 and FAM43 shall be flown with an on-wing. A FAM “S” IP may be substituted for one FAM41 or FAM43 flight as an off-wing. FAM42 block does not require on-wing instructors.

Familiarization check flight FAM4490 shall not be flown with an on-wing instructor.

b. There are no other instructor continuity requirements.

6. Break in Training Warmup Events (SXX86). In addition to CNATRAINST 1500.4J requirements, the following apply:

a. Warmup events are separate from front-seat landing currency events. See paragraph 10.b.(6) for landing currency requirements.

b. Warmup Events in FCL and CQL Stages. A warmup FCLP period shall be awarded if three days have elapsed since the last FCLP period. FCLP warmup is required if more than two days have elapsed between successful field qualification (CQL4490) and the first carrier landing.

FCLP currency (for CQL) is subsequently required every two days thereafter. A touch-and-go or trap at the ship satisfies this requirement.

c. Intermediate Jet and Advanced Strike are separate phases of training. Mandatory stage warmup criteria do not apply between phases.

d. Advanced Phase instrument events do not require warmups as long as the student has logged First Pilot flight time within the preceding 14 days.

e Additional Safe-for-Solo Warmup Events

(1) Award an additional safe-for-solo flight if four or more calendar days have elapsed since last safe-for-solo check flight prior to FAM4501.

(2) Not Safe-for-Solo. If the student is not safe-for-solo the event is UNSAT per

CNATRAINST 1500.4J.

(a) If a Progress Check is NOT triggered, the next flight shall be another safe-for-solo check.

(b) If a Progress Check is triggered follow CNATRAINST 1500.4J procedures.

I-9

7. Additional Flights and Simulators

a. Extra Training Events (SXX87). In addition to CNATRAINST 1500.4J requirements, FCL or CQL may be solo as determined by the LSO.

b. Practice Simulators (SXX85). Scheduling and instructor requirements shall be IAW

CNATRAINST 1500.4J.

c. BFM/SEM Currency. In addition to CNAF-M 3710.7 and CNATRAINST 1500.4J:

(1) Flights shall be Syllabus Events (ex: BFM41XX, SEM41XX).

(2) Warmup flights, 86's, shall be flown if CNAF-M 3710.7 currency requirements are not met.

(3) NFS's shall log First Pilot time for events to count.

(4) OCF4201 updates OCF and Dynamic Flight currency.

8. Ground Training and Briefing Requirements
