CURRICULUM GUIDELINES
1.
Sequencing
a. General. The T-45C Strike Flight Instructor Training
Curriculum is comprised of categories and training stages which
integrate academic instruction, flight support lessons, and
simulator and aircraft instruction.
b. Guidelines. The Instructor Under Training (IUT) Course
Map incorporates numerous branching, or sequencing alternatives,
as well as hard prerequisites. Specific guidelines are as
follows:
(1) NA-07S and NA-08 are not required for NATOPS
qualification but are prerequisites for becoming a qualified
instructor.
(2) Prior to the multi-plane ON flights (ON-04 through
ON-06X), the IUT must complete the TACF and WEP stages.
2. Briefing and Debriefing.
Adequate briefing time shall be
provided and utilized.
a. Briefing. All briefs will be in accordance with the
appropriate briefing guide.
NOTE:
For multi-plane events, all flight members (i.e.,
instructors, observers, students, passengers,
etcetera) shall be briefed by the flight leader in
the briefing area. Although IUTs may be briefed
early on techniques by their individual flight
instructors, all members of the flight will be in
attendance for the final "Conduct of Flight" portion
of the brief.
b. Debriefing. Timely debriefing of each simulator and
flight event is an essential part of the learning process. The
debriefer shall debrief in accordance with established
convention. The minimum items that shall be covered in the
debrief are:
(1) Overall review of the event plan in chronological
order, citing completions, omissions, and deletions of
prerequisite exercises.
(2) Attainment/non-attainment of aircraft control and
(3) Specific comments on the IUT's teaching techniques
when appropriate.
