FOR

HC-144 – Mountain and Canyon Flying Training Course

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

ATC Mobile, HC-144 Training Division is working to bolster advanced training. Currently every Fixed wing Coast Guard unit, in some capacity either through their respective Area of Responsibilities or while on deployment have been exposed to mountainous terrain with no official tactics, training or procedures. The advantages of such a program will allow for a better understanding of mountain phenomenon coupled with the importance of aircraft performance planning. The need for this training is apparent when you look at several FAA, ICAO, and NTSB studies.

1.2 SCOPE

Four subject matter experts from each Coast Guard fixed-wing platform will attend this training: a course auditor, an HC-144 Standardization Instructor Pilot, a C-27J Standardization Instructor Pilot and a C130J Standardization Instructor Pilot. Training is four days and will comprise of a combination of ground and flight instruction. Upon successful completion, course participants will have an advanced level of capability and proficiency to employ mountain flying techniques and will be able to instruct fleet pilots on these methods.

1.3 OBJECTIVE

HC-144 Training Division will learn teaching techniques to be able to better train the fleet. In addition, as part of the course audit, high altitude and flight performance training may become part of a C-School listing that will subsequently allow other members to attend the course.

2.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS/TASKS

Instruction will include ground school and flight training as listed in section 2.1. Course must include instructional tools (train the trainer) so the subject matter experts can provide instructional techniques to operational pilots. In addition, recommended flight maneuvers and discussions for specific Coast Guard fixed wing aircraft will need to be part of the training. Due to country clearance and travel limitations, the course must be located in the contiguous United States of America. The performance is four days and must be completed by 4 September 2021. Reservations will be contingent upon contract award.

2.1 TASK ONE. Performance Standards and Enabling Objectives

• 12+ hours of ground instruction consisting aircraft performance, climb gradient, density altitude, confined area landings, emergency considerations, mountain phenomenon and meteorology, go or no-go decision making, and the various phases of mountain approach.
