Chapter I

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 course of action appears to conflict with other directives, consult CNATRA (N71).

c. Deviations. Document all deviations on the event’s ATF.

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

e. Execution. Instructors Under Training (IUT), Test Pilot School Preparatory (TPS), Maritime Transition (MT), Aircraft Commander (AC), and Copilot (CP) aviators will execute curriculum events as listed below:

(1) Instructors Under Training. All events through I4590 in accordance with Chart I-1.

(2) Maritime Transition. All events through C4390 in accordance with Chart I-3.

(3) Test Pilot School Preparatory. All events through C4390 in accordance with Chart I-3.

(4) Aircraft Commander. All events through C4390 in accordance with Chart I-3.

(5) Copilot. All events through B4101 in accordance with Chart I-4.

NOTE: B4101 is a copilot only event. Only copilots under training will fly this event. No other syllabus will complete this event.

f. Syllabus Description. These syllabi are divided into stages. Stages are grouped by like-flight training regimes:

Contact, Instrument, Copilot, Navigation, Formation, and Tactical. Each stage is subdivided into training blocks. The training blocks consist of a specified number of flights.

Course Training Standards (CTSs) are modified by the Maneuver

I-2

Item Files (MIFs) to identify the acceptable level of performance that must be achieved at the completion of each training block.

2. Training Management

a. Syllabus Progression. Fly events within each block sequentially. Do not start a block without all prerequisites completed. Students may be in different stages simultaneously.

Where applicable, students shall be prepared, and will be eligible, for more than one syllabus event. Students must complete all events except as listed in paragraph 1e. The flowcharts on pages I-5, I-7, I-9 and I-11 delineate the sequence of flying events and their ground training prerequisites. System training management is designed to facilitate two graded events (flight, simulator, or exam) per student per day.

b. Accelerated Progression. Under exceptional circumstances, an instructor’s previous flight experience or demonstrated proficiency may warrant accelerated progression.

The Squadron Commander may advance the instructor to the next block of instruction when all required items for the current block of instruction meet End of Block (EOB) MIF. This policy is not to be used to accelerate squadron production goals. It is strictly for instances where the instructor’s demonstrated proficiency makes completion of all events within a block of instruction unnecessary. For example, previous instructor experience in the contact phase will warrant acceleration through the instructor contact syllabus. All records for the accelerated instructor, including the ITJ, will be clearly marked ACCELERATED PROGRESSION. ITFs for the events not flown will be completed with a note in the remarks section stating

“ACCELERATED PROGRESSION – EVENT NOT FLOWN. ITF COMPLETED FOR

ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY IAW CNATRAINST 1542.SERIES.”

c. Maneuver Continuity. IUTs and students must accomplish previously introduced maneuvers frequently enough to ensure maintaining required proficiency. Reference the Aviation Training Summary (ATS).

d. Hours/X (H/X). ITU Instructor Pilots (IPs) shall plan and execute missions to meet H/X as closely as practical. If actual event length varies from H/X by more than 0.3 hours, annotate reason(s) in ITF or ATF’s general comments section.

I-3

e. Special Syllabus Requirements (SSRs). SSRs are allocated to flights. Unless noted otherwise, IPs may accomplish SSRs on any flight within the block. SSRs shall be completed in the specified block. Annotate completed SSRs in the ITF’s SSR comments section. Assign NG/1 as the SSR maneuver grade.

f. Aviation Training Jacket (ITF/ATJ) Reviews. Aviation Training Jackets shall be reviewed by the ITU Officer on completion of each stage of training and as required by squadron policy.

g. Aircraft and Simulator Interchangeability. In the event the T-44A/C or TC-12B simulator is not available, any simulator event may be flown in the aircraft. In the event the cockpit procedures trainer is unavailable, C21XX may be completed in the TC-12B aircraft or simulator.

3. Instructor Continuity. IUTs and students shall brief and fly events C0101, C4101, and C4102 with the same ITU instructor.

4. Additional Flights/Simulators

a. Instructor Proficiency Flights. Instructors may receive proficiency events as deemed necessary by the Squadron Commander.

b. Practice Simulators (SXX85). IUTs and students may receive practice simulator events as availability permits.

These practice events are not part of the syllabus.

5. Ground Training and Briefing Requirements

a. Mission Preparation, Briefings, and Debriefings

(1) EOB Events. The SI shall carefully review the Aviation Training Summary (ATS) in planning the EOB event to ensure the profile includes opportunities to reach MIF on all critical items and optional items attempted in the block.

(2) Preparation. IUTs and students shall arrive for each flight with:

(a) Thorough knowledge of:

1. Discuss items, as listed in Chapters III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII.

2. Procedural knowledge of the critical items for the event’s training block.

(b) A flight profile tailored to training requirements, weak areas, and continuity.

(c) The latest ATS for the stage.

(3) Briefing. Thoroughly cover the mission’s:

(a) Event discuss items, as listed in Chapters III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII.

(b) Specific objectives.

(c) Techniques and required procedures for accomplishing those objectives.

I-13

(d) Planned profile, contingencies, and ORM considerations.

(4) Debriefing

(a) After each event, the SI shall critique the IUT’s or student’s performance using cause/effect analysis, particularly with respect to the CTS.

(b) The mission’s complexity and IUT’s or student’s progress will govern the time required for the debrief.

(c) The SI shall provide the IUT or student with a copy of the new ATS, and may provide a copy of the event’s

ATF/ITF.

b. Emergency Procedures (EP) Briefing and Training

(1) EP training builds the IUT’s and student’s confidence in the aircraft. The IP shall conduct emergency procedures training on all dual aircraft events, either on the ground or in the aircraft. Correct procedural deficiencies through additional instruction and study assignments.

(2) Incorporate emergency procedures training into simulator events when practical; however, instructional block objectives take precedence.

(3) Grade the IUT’s or student’s overall EP knowledge and performance under Emergency Procedures.

6. Mission Grading Procedures and Evaluation Policies

a. General Grading and Evaluation Policy. Course Training Standards listed in this instruction and the Maneuver Item Files are minimum stage/phase completion standards per maneuver.

CTSs/MIFs are designed to allow for minimum performance in a specific area with the understanding that performance above the minimum CTS/MIF will offset the weak area.

I-14

b. Grading Procedures (Aircraft and Training Devices)

(1) NATOPS Maneuver Grading. During the NATOPS phase of training, grading will be IAW NATOPS standards. This applies to the following blocks of training, regardless of syllabus:

C4100 I4290 I3100 C4201 I3200 C4390 I4100

Judge the IUT’s or student’s proficiency only against the item’s CTS or NATOPS grading criteria. The grading scale will be as per the NATOPS as listed below:

5 = Not applicable to NATOPS Block Training 4 = Q

3 = CQ

2 = UQ

1 = Demonstrate

(2) Absolute Maneuver Grading. All flights with the exception of the EOB flight will be graded on a pass/fail criteria. For the EOB flight, use the following grading scale to document the IUT’s performance on maneuvers attempted during the EOB event. This is an absolute grading scale. Judge the IUT’s proficiency only against the item’s course training standard.

(a) Demonstrated (NG/1 Level). Enter "No Grade."

1. When the ITU instructor demonstrates the maneuver and the IUT or student does not subsequently perform it during the event.

2. To indicate accomplishing SSRs. Specify incomplete SSRs in the ITF/ATF’s SSR comments section.

(b) Unable (U/2 Level). Performance is unsafe or lacks sufficient knowledge, skill, or ability. Deviations greatly exceed CTS, significantly disrupting performance.

Corrections significantly lag deviations or aggravate the deviation.

I-15

(c) Fair (F/3 Level). Performance is safe, but with limited proficiency. Deviations exceed CTS, detracting from performance. Corrections noticeably lag deviations, and may not be appropriate.

(d) Good (G/4 Level). Characteristic performance is within CTS. Deviations outside CTS are allowed, provided they are brief, minor, and do not affect safety of flight.

Corrections must be appropriate and timely.

(e) Excellent (E/5 Level). Greatly surpasses CTS.

Performance is correct, efficient, and skillful. Deviations are very minor. Corrections, if required, are initiated by the IUT or student and are appropriate, smooth, and rapid.

(3) Maneuver Requirements. For each block:

(a) Mandatory Items. Items with a number and a plus (+) are mandatory and must meet the required proficiency by EOB.

When a maneuver is performed multiple times in a block of training, the last grade assigned for the maneuver will determine if the student meets EOB MIF.

(b) Optional Items. Items with a number, but without a plus (+), are optional. However, if flown, they must meet the required EOB proficiency the last time the maneuver is graded in the block.

(4) Incomplete Events. In general, SIs should consider an event complete if able to accomplish the requirements in paragraph (a) below. This is particularly true when weather precludes accomplishing certain maneuver items, but the ITU instructor is able to emphasize training on other maneuver items. Subsequent events in the block, when available, can reverse this emphasis, hence achieving overall training balance.

If an IUT or student has had ample opportunity to learn a task and subsequently flies a short mission, do not incomplete the mission solely to provide unwarranted extra training.

(a) Assessment. Assess the event complete if:

1. Seventy-five percent of the event’s H/X were used for training, and

2. Sufficient events remain in the block to redress the imbalance, and

I-16

3. Individual maneuvers can still be accomplished within the block.

4. Otherwise, assess the event incomplete.

(b) Completion Events. An event may both complete a previous event and count as an advancing X.

(c) Simulator Event Completion. Assess a simulator event complete if the IUT or student has received a full 1.5-hour training period.

c. Policies for Evaluation Flights and Ground Evaluations

(1) Check Rides (SXX90). Check rides amount to single event training blocks. Therefore, all rules regarding progressing out of a block apply, except as noted below:

(a) Should fly a representative cross section of optional maneuvers.

(b) Up to two optional maneuvers may be graded F/3 where G/4 is required without requiring an overall unsatisfactory.

(c) The entire event should be devoted to assessing the IUT’s or student’s ability and readiness to progress to the next stage of training. All maneuvers indicated with a plus (+) are check ride critical and must be accomplished to MIF.

(d) The IUT or student should be able to demonstrate required levels of proficiency without instructor assistance.

However, instruction is allowed on check rides and IUTs or students may reaccomplish maneuvers at the check pilot’s discretion.

(2) Incomplete Check Ride. The check ride shall be incomplete when:

(a) Any (+) item was not flown, or

(b) The check pilot was unable to sample sufficient examples of a given maneuver to assess the IUT’s or student’s overall performance.

NOTE: The subsequent flight need only include maneuvers required to complete the check.

I-17

(c) EXCEPTIONS. The check is complete and the overall grade is unsatisfactory if:

1. Any critical item is below MIF, or

2. More than two noncritical items were graded F/3 where G/4 is required, or

3. Any maneuver is U/2.

7. Special Instructions and Restrictions (Flight Hour/Event Requirements and Restrictions)

a. Programmed Hours and Events. Syllabus-programmed flight hours are listed on page x. Event lengths, SXX86, 87, 88, and 89 events will cause variation.

b. Minimum Night Hours

(1) Prior to C4201, the IUT or student shall receive 2.0 hours of nighttime.

(2) During I44 block, the IUT shall receive an additional

2.0 hours of nighttime.

(3) During I46 block, the IUT or student shall receive 1 hour of nighttime.

c. Minimum IUT/Student Turn-Times. One hour is required between debriefing of a flight event and the brief for a follow-on flight or simulator event. This does not apply to out-and-in and cross-country profiles. However, the ITU instructor shall ensure adequate debrief and brief time is allocated.

d. Crew Day. Crew day and flight hour limitations are established by OPNAVINST 3710.7T and applicable NATOPS.

e. Crew Rest. Crew rest limitations are established by OPNAVINST 3710.7T and applicable NATOPS.

f. Pre-Maneuver Requirements. The student shall not perform a maneuver for the first time until the IP discusses, briefs, or demonstrates the maneuver, unless previous training adequately fulfills this role.

I-18

g. IUT Flights

(1) All IUT flights will be conducted in accordance with the current T-44A or TC-12B NATOPS, FTI, and local SOP. No deviations from standard maneuvers are authorized except in cases of emergency. Completion of the NATOPS stage as described in this instruction meets the NATOPS qualification requirements for the T-44A or TC-12B aircraft.

(2) Student/Instructor Under Training seat position will be in accordance with the following list:

Left Seat: C21XX I41XX

C41XX I4290

I31XX C4201

I32XX C4390
