b. The squadron CO must forward PRB results with an
endorsement to the TRAWING commander for final disposition if he
recommends attrition, and in all cases required by Table VIII-2.
811.
ACTIONS, REPORTS, AND RECORDS OF PRBs
a. Squadron Action. The original copy of the PRB form and the
accompanying statements shall be completed and filed in the
student's ATJ. If the student's ATJ has been divided into a
permanent jacket and a working jacket, a copy of the PRB form
shall be filed in the working jacket.
b. TRAWING Commander/NAVAVSCOLSCOM Action. When the results
of a PRB are referred to the TRAWING or to NAVAVSCOLSCOM for
disposition, the signed comments of the student's instructor,
senior member of the board, and CO's recommendations shall be
reviewed. The TRAWING commander or CO, NAVAVSCOLSCOM shall
determine the final disposition and return the student's record
to the respective unit. Final retention or attrition authority
may not be delegated. The decision of the TRAWING commander to
terminate flight training is final and no appeal shall be derived
therefrom. Refer to paragraph 904 for additional administrative
requirements and interviews following attrition.
(1) A copy of all PRB results with accompanying statements
shall be retained by the TRAWING/NAVAVSCOLSCOM for record
purposes.
(2) No student shall be attrited without being personally
interviewed by the TRAWING commander or CO, NAVAVSCOLSCOM.
(3) If, prior to meeting the mandatory attrition criteria,
the TRAWING commander believes the student's difficulty is
attributable to a specific flight difficulty that would not
likely affect progress in another pipeline, the student may be
afforded the opportunity to transfer to an alternate NATRACOM
pipeline. The procedures for a pipeline transfer are outlined in
paragraph 903. The pipeline transfer request, RCS CNATRA 1520-2,
must be accomplished prior to submission of the separation from
training report, CNATRA 1900-2, which would disqualify the
student from future naval aviation training.
(4) The date of attrition shall be established as the date
of the TRAWING commander's or NAVAVSCOLSCOM CO's endorsement on
the separation from training report. The assigned attrition
code, from Appendix D of this instruction, determines future
training status of a student. The attrition code must be an
accurate reflection of the reason for the student's failure to
complete.
(5) TRAWING commanders or CO, NAVAVSCOLSCOM shall ensure
that attrited students are thoroughly counseled by appropriate
staff members on the future of their service to the Navy as
follows:
