ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
a. ITOs. The procedures for handling ITOs are found in
SECNAVINST 4950.4A, Chapter 7. All required endorsements shall
be forwarded within five working days after check in/out.
Training shall not commence without a valid ITO.
b.
Leave and Holidays
(1) IMS leave shall be granted in accordance with
SECNAVINST 4950.4A. NITC OIC, TRAWING FIVE shall coordinate and
approve leave requests for Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF)
students. The CLO may grant up to 30 days of leave each year.
(2) After coordinating with the squadron and TRAWING, the
IMS will initiate all leave requests via his or her CLO or
Embassy. If the CLO or Embassy approves the leave, that
approval shall be sent by facsimile or email directly to the
TRAWING IMSO, who will ensure all IMSs are briefed and
understand leave procedures.
(3) Non-chargeable leave may be granted under the following
circumstances:
(a) All official U.S. holidays.
(b) All official home country holidays as delineated by
SECNAVINST 4950.4A, not to exceed one academic day per holiday.
(4) Special care should be taken to ensure safety when
scheduling an IMS for flight events during religious or other
fasting periods.
c. Watch Bills. IMSs shall not be included on watch bills.
IMSs can not be held responsible or disciplined for their
actions while standing watch. Also, requiring IMS to stand
watch may cause a delay in training at the expense of the IMS's
home country. Assistant Runway Duty Officer (ARDO) duty for an
IMS has proven to be an effective way to improve IMS landing
pattern performance as is not considered watch. Any curriculum
tools used to correct substandard IMS performance, such as
Student Monitoring Status (SMS), test remediation, extra
instruction authorized in the curriculum, or by this manual, are
applied to improve IMS performance and are not considered watch.
d. Discipline. IMSs are not subject to punishment under the
Uniform Code of Military Justice and shall not be subject to
restraint or detention for breaches of discipline except where
necessary to prevent bodily harm to themselves or others. Flight
training students shall be required to comply with the
regulations, orders, instructions, and customs of the NATRACOM
insofar as they are appropriate and applicable under the
circumstances and consistent with the laws and regulations of the
government of the Parent Party. See SECNAVINST 4950.4A Chapter
V-7
