CHAPTER 2

COURSE ADMINISTRATION

SECTION A — Syllabus Management

1. Syllabus Interpretation — This syllabus is directive in nature and will be followed as written. If no clear syllabus guidance exists, resolve the situation using existing AFI guidance through the appropriate chain of command. If the logical course of action appears to conflict with other directives, contact AMC/A3T.

2. Syllabus Waiver — An approved syllabus waiver is required for any planned exception to the syllabus caused by special or unusual circumstances. Waiver approval authority for this syllabus is IAW AFI 11-2C-21, V1, para 1.5.4. Permanent or blanket waivers are not authorized, but should be recommended as a syllabus change to HQ AMC/A3T. Do not accomplish or omit any training requested in a waiver until notification of approval. Maintain a record of all approved waivers in the student‘s training folder.

Note: All references to ‗training folder‘ in this syllabus are intended to mean ‗paper or electronic training folder or Training Management System (TMS) record if available.‘

3. Syllabus Deviation — A syllabus deviation is any unplanned variation from syllabus requirements such as prerequisite flow or failure to complete a training event. All syllabus-directed training must be accomplished unless a waiver request is approved. If unforeseen circumstances result in an omission of required training, the ATS site manager or 375 OG/CC will determine if omitted training can be accomplished later in the syllabus flow without adversely affecting the quality of student training. Document all syllabus deviations, ATS site manager or OG/CC directed corrective actions, and the accomplishment of the omitted training in the student‘s training folder.

4. Incomplete Training — Training requirements that cannot be accomplished due to prolonged shortfalls or limitations in equipment, facilities, and/or aircraft will be annotated in the student‘s training records. In situations where end of course requirements are not achieved, Stan/Eval will also annotate the deficiency on AF Form 1381 or AF Form 8, as appropriate, for inclusion in the student‘s Flight Evaluation Folder.

5. Disenrollment — Rated officers who voluntarily disenroll from this course may meet a

Flying Evaluation Board (FEB), as directed by AFI 11-402, Aviation and Parachutist Service, Aeronautical Ratings and Badges. For active duty rated officers attending an AMC formal flying training course, AMC/CC is the final approval authority for all FEB and waiver of FEB actions.

6. In-Unit Course Completion — Unless specifically authorized in this syllabus, students who are enrolled in a formal course will not complete training ―in unit‖ without an approved syllabus waiver as described in paragraph 2. In addition, a restricted AF Form 8 may be issued depending upon training completed at the FTU.

Notes

1. Support hours include briefing, preflight, debriefing, and mission planning

2. Total number of mission and mission hours includes 5 flight training sorties and an evaluation flight.

3. Track B adds 3 days of FTU ground training (24.0 hours) and 3 days of flight training (17.0 hours).

4. On a case by case basis, with OG/CC approval, annual refresher simulator may be substituted for IP simulator and academics.

b. Instructor Responsibilities — Instructors are responsible for training accomplishment however, students should monitor their own training and develop mission profiles when appropriate.

c. Additional Training — In the event a student fails to complete the course in the recommended time, it is the responsibility of the contractor (per Performance Work

Statement) for ground training events and the Squadron DO or representative for flight training events, to ensure continued training until the student either completes training/graduates or is removed from training by the Government. The Squadron

Commander or DO may authorize a maximum of 2 additional training sorties to remediate unsatisfactory performance IAW progress review guidelines (see Figure 1).

d. Events Per Day — Students will not accomplish more than two syllabus events per day.

The exception is an incomplete sortie due to an air abort or weather divert that may not qualify as an ―accomplished‖ event. The Squadron DO or representative will assess the effect of an incomplete sortie on the student‘s ability to successfully complete two events that day.

2. Training Requirements and Restrictions

a. Minimum Hour Requirement. There is no minimum hour/event/sortie requirement for graduation.

b. Proficiency Advancement. The Contractor Site Manager, Squadron DO, or representative is the approval authority for student proficiency advancement. The student may advance to the next unit of training or flight evaluation provided MIF requirements are met.

3. Break-in-Training Events — The Contractor Site Manager, Squadron DO, or representative may authorize an additional training event due to extended training delays. As a guide, consider seven calendar days without an aircraft event as an extended break. Use this authority only when the remaining syllabus events are insufficient to compensate for the break-in-training. All additional training will be documented in the student‘s flying training folder.

Additional training events will be limited to that required for the student to regain the proficiency level attained prior to the break in training.

4. Demonstrations — The instructor may demonstrate procedures prior to the student attempting them, based upon difficulty and student ability.

5. Flying Safety and Operational Risk Management (ORM) — Develop flying safety awareness by emphasizing emergency procedures, air discipline, judgment, and ORM.

6. Cockpit/Crew Resource Management (CRM) — CRM skills will be integrated into mission briefings and debriefings IAW AFI 11-290, Cockpit/Crew Resource Management

Training Program. The following items will be incorporated into all aspects of flying training and reflected on all grade sheets:

a. Situational Awareness

b. Crew Coordination

c. Communication

d. Decision Making

e. Task Management

f. Mission Planning/Briefing/Debriefing

g. Threat and Error Management

7. Briefing Requirements — Briefings set the tone of the mission. Briefing times will be established by the instructor for training device missions. Briefing items should be the minimum established in the mission briefing guide. The instructor pilot will schedule flight briefing times but instructor candidates will have the opportunity to conduct selected portions of the briefing at the discretion of the instructor. Accomplish a post mission briefing to measure the success of the mission.

8. Regression Rules — Regression occurs when a maneuver is graded Unsatisfactory (U) after having achieved Proficient (P) in the same task. A regression from a ―P‖ to a ―U‖ requires an explanation in the student‘s training folder. The only subsequent grade allowed is either ―P‖ or ―U‖. Three or more incidences of regression in a single training event constitutes a mandatory overall grade of unsatisfactory or conditional. The determination between unsatisfactory and conditional is at the instructor‘s discretion.

9. Overall Unsatisfactory Performance — Following an overall Unsatisfactory grade on a flight or simulator training unit, students will not progress to the next training flight or simulator until the objectives of that event are satisfactorily achieved. Academic and Ground training units may continue.

10. Airsickness/Manifestation of Apprehension (MOA) — Instructors will document the student's training folder when a student experiences any form of airsickness or manifestation of apprehension (MOA). Initial aircrew trainees experiencing airsickness will be sent to the flight surgeon as soon as practical for examination, counseling, and treatment. This visit must be made prior to the next flight. For rated or previously trained aircrew, if airsickness leads to significant deviation from training profile or prevents the student from meeting MIF requirements, the student will be referred to the flight surgeon for evaluation IAW AFI 48-123, Medical

Examinations and Standards.

11. Commander’s Review Process — For students showing unsatisfactory progress, refer to

Figure 1. For additional guidance, refer to AFI 11-2C-21 Volume 1, paragraphs 1.16 and 6.6.

Note 1. Students should progress through training from one sortie to the next. A failed sortie (prior to the last sortie of the block) does not require a re-fly of that sortie unless an item in that sortie has a required proficiency level (RPL) prior to the next sortie (i.e., if a student must be proficient in day landing prior to night landing, additional training will be flown until successful accomplishment of day landing).

Note 2. Evaluation sorties, additional sorties for incomplete sorties or breaks-in-training do not count as additional sorties for progress review triggers.

Note 3. WG/CC reinstatement for failure of the training system: OG/CC will develop reinstatement training program. Subsequent failures during reinstatement training require SQ/CC review. For failure to complete reinstatement training, OG/CC will recommend FEB/AEB action to

WG/CC.
