CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

1-1. GENERAL.

This flight training guide (FTG) outlines learning objectives selected for training during the IP/MOI course. Training is conducted by civilian contractors with quality assurance monitored by the 1-212 th

Aviation (AVN) Regiment (REGT)

Standardization Division and the BWS MOI section. This course of instruction is also authorized as a guide for qualification and refresher training in the OH-58A, OH-58C, and TH-67 series aircraft. For contractor pilot qualification and refresher training, only the base (1000 series) tasks listed within this FTG as outlined in the Aircrew Training Manual (ATM) need be trained. For military pilot qualification/ refresher training, tasks listed in this FTG and base tasks not listed but outlined in the

ATM must be trained prior to the completion of Readiness Level (RL) progression. For qualification training between series aircraft, a minimum of one hour hood and one hour night must be flown for each series aircraft. Additionally, qualification and refresher training will require the aviator to complete an Operator’s Supplement open-book examination with a minimum grade of 90 percent and demonstrate a working knowledge of the applicable topics in the FTG as outlined in the ATM. Normal progression is based on the average student flying each training day and practicing those maneuvers outlined during the training period. The BWS Director may award additional time to complete the course. IPs returning from extended absences may be required to complete the entire course.

a. Location: Fort Rucker, Alabama.

b. Duration: 7 weeks, 4 days.

1-2. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

a. Prior to the first flight, the briefing officer and the instructor pilot will brief the student pilot on airfield operations and procedures; airfield layout and facilities; survival vest components, survival radio, and helmet inspection requirements; and the Standing Operating Procedures (SOP).

b. Safety will be briefed by the briefing officer and the assigned instructor as an integral part of each daily flight period, and will include hazards the crew expects to encounter during the flight and the controls available to mitigate those hazards.

c. Aircraft will be operated in accordance with (IAW) the current Operator’s Manual Supplement and AR 95-1.

d. All checks listed in the Operator’s Manual Supplement and CL will be performed as appropriate (example: preflight, before takeoff, before landing, and engine shutdown checks).

e. Students will have their flight helmets and air warrior vest inspected by the assigned Aviation Life Support

Equipment (ALSE) shop prior to their initial flight and every 180 days thereafter.

f. Flight safety clothing and equipment will be used IAW appropriate regulations. All students will wear two metal ID tags on a chain around their neck or they will not be permitted to fly.

g. Only those tasks specified in this FTG will be performed or demonstrated.

h. Prior to flight, the student must have a current Medical Recommendation for Flight Duty (DA Form 4186) or FAA

Second Class Flight Physical on file.

i. Risk management will be IAW the SOP.

j. Students will be briefed on go-around and hot start procedures during initial briefing IAW the SOP.

1-3. DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING.

a. Stage I (Contact Training) - Consists of 28.5 hours which includes time for aircraft qualification/series qualification/refresher (if required) and 1.5-hour flight evaluation. Stage I concentrates on the capabilities, limitations, and emergency procedures of the OH-58A/C and TH-67 helicopter. Students will be responsible for VFR procedures/rules, IFR approach procedures, rotary wing aerodynamics, instructor pilot fundamentals, aeromedical, and flight characteristics IAW this

FTG.

b. Stage II (Combat Skills) - Consists of 16.6 hours which includes a 1.6-hour flight evaluation. The training orients the student on the utilization of the OH-58A/C and TH-67 helicopter in Basic Warfighter Skills training. Students concentrate on basic navigation and mission planning skills, to include terrain flight maneuvers.

c. Students will be taught in left and right seats during this training at the discretion of their IP. The IP will at times act as a student pilot and will make deliberate deviations from standards to indicate common errors associated with a particular maneuver. The IP will not allow unsafe situations to occur.

d. Evaluation flights during this course will be conducted by an SP from 1-212 th

AVN REGT, 110

th

Aviation (AVN)

Brigade (BDE), DES, or BWS MOI section.

e. This is a proficiency based course with progression based on individual student performance and instructor pilot recommendations. Students going through Qualification/Refresher training will demonstrate Pilot proficiency in all base tasks by the hour level depicted. A student failing to perform a task within the standards after P3 time will receive a red “N” on the

FGS. A student receiving a red “N” during the course will be referred to the BWS Director for disposition.

f. The FTG is a guideline to be followed for normal progression and student training. Certain circumstances, such as inclement weather or accelerated progression, may preclude all maneuvers scheduled for one phase of training from being completed prior to an end-of-stage evaluation. This will not stop a student from taking the scheduled evaluation provided the student is prepared and is recommended by his instructor. Students will demonstrate proficiency in all tasks prior to course completion.

1-4. STUDENT HANDOUT MATERIAL.

On the first training day, the following material will be issued to the student at the flight line.

CHAPTER 3. TRAINING OBJECTIVES

3-1. TASK FORMAT AND DISCUSSION.

a. General. Tasks selected for training in this chapter specify the minimum learning objectives required to successfully complete this course. To utilize this chapter, the student must understand the format, key words and phrases used throughout the chapter.

b. Chapter Three Format. Each task selected for training is organized into the following five elements:

(1) Task.

(2) Conditions.

(3) Standards.

(4) Description.

(5) Considerations.

(6) Training and Evaluation.

(7) Reference.

3-2. TASK CONSIDERATIONS.

a. References to the instructor pilot (IP), in the task conditions include the, standardization instructor pilot (SP).

b. When IP is cited as a condition, an IP will be at one set of the flight controls.

c. Unless otherwise specified in the conditions, all in-flight training and evaluations will be conducted under VMC.

NOTE: P* denotes the pilot on the controls.

P denotes the pilot not on the controls.

3-3. EXPLANATION OF TERMS.

The term WITHOUT ERROR is used in the standards of many tasks. This term indicates that there is a well established, long accepted, and in most cases, a written procedure to be followed to arrive at an acceptable end result. The term DOES NOT necessarily require that the end result always be exactly the same. You may, for example, give three students the same information to do a safe control margin problem and due to the thickness of their pencil lead, whether or not they used a straight edge, the angle at which they viewed the chart, etc., all three come up with a slightly different answer. If the correct procedure was used, the end result will be acceptable and the standard WITHOUT ERROR has been met.

3-4. FLIGHT TASKS.

TASK CONTENTS.

a. Conditions. The conditions specify the situation in which the task will be performed. They describe the important aspects of the performance environment. References to OH-58 helicopters apply to all OH-58A/C design helicopters. Unless specified otherwise, all references to the TH-67 helicopter apply to all TH-67 series helicopters (A+, VFR, and IFR). Reference will be made to a particular helicopter within a design series when necessary. All conditions must be met before task iterations can be credited.

(1) Common conditions are—

(a) In a mission aircraft with mission equipment and crew, items required by AR 95-1 and required publications (Operator’s Manual, CL, navigational and terrain maps).

(b) Under VMC, IMC or simulated IMC, Day, night, and night vision device employment.

(c) In any terrain or climate.

(2) Common training/evaluation conditions are—

When an IP or SP is required for the training of the task, then that individual will be at one set of the flight controls while the training is performed. References to IP in the task conditions include SP.

(3) Unless otherwise specified in the conditions, all in-flight training and evaluation will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Simulated instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) denote flight solely by reference to flight instruments.

b. Standards. The standards describe the minimum degree of proficiency or standard of performance to which the task must be accomplished. The terms, “without error”, “properly”, and “correctly” apply to all standards. The standards are based on ideal conditions. Task descriptions may contain required elements for satisfactory completion of a given task. Crew actions specified in the description are required to satisfactorily perform crew coordination. Some standards are common to several tasks. The following common standards apply to all tasks—

(1) All tasks.

c. Description. The description explains the preferred method for accomplishing the task to meet the standards. Tasks may be accomplished using other techniques, as long as the task is done safely and the standards are met; however, attention to the use of the words, will, should, shall, must, or may throughout the text of a task description is crucial. These actions apply in all modes of flight during day, night, and simulated IMC operations. When specific crew actions are required, the task will be broken down into crew actions and procedures as follows:

(1) Crew actions. These define the portions of a task performed by each crewmember to ensure safe, efficient, and effective task execution. The designations P* (pilot on the controls), P (pilot not on the controls), do not refer to PC (pilot in command) duties. When required, PC responsibilities are specified. For all tasks, the following responsibilities apply:

(a) Both crewmembers. Perform crew coordination actions, and announce malfunctions or emergency conditions monitor engine/systems operations, and avionics (navigation and communication), as necessary. During VMC, focus attention primarily outside the aircraft, maintain airspace surveillance, and clear the aircraft.
