CNATRAINST 1500.4F CH-5

1. Forward the request to COMTRAWING SIX
recommending approval, or
R)
2. Disapprove the request. If the request is
disapproved, send a copy of the disapproval letter to TRAWING
SIX and CNATRA (N31). No further action is required.
e. Reassignment Procedures. After a program change has been
approved by competent authority, NAVAVSCOLSCOM, the student's
TRAWING or MATSG will coordinate the student's transfer.
902. SNFO TRAINING ACCELERATION PROGRAM (TAP). CNATRA
established the TAP to prevent duplication of training for
former pilots entering the SNFO training and SNPs granted
program changes after completing a substantial portion of the
SNP program. COMTRAWING SIX shall review each student's NATOPS
jacket or ATJ, then establish an accelerated training program
suitable to that student. The following guidelines apply:
a. COMTRAWING SIX shall design modified courses of
instruction, in cooperation with the squadron TAP officer, who
is an instructor assigned to monitor the TAP students in the
program.
b. Students shall not repeat subjects successfully completed
while in SNP training unless the lapse of time is of such
duration that a refresher course is necessary to support other
training (e.g., instrument ground school to support T-39 airways
navigation flights). The student's grades for appropriate
courses completed in SNP training shall be transposed to the
student's SNFO ATJ, and weighted for credit according to
squadron factors. SNP flight grades shall not be transferred to
the SNFO ATJ, nor counted in final totals.
c. All TAP students shall function in a "self-paced" learning
status, independent of regular classes, except that they shall
attend classes which require scheduling (e.g., instrument ground
school and electronic warfare).
d. The TRAWING and squadrons must exercise caution to ensure
that training is not omitted which would detract from a
student's performance while in the SNFO program.
e. The squadron shall closely monitor the progress of TAP
students. If, in the judgment of the squadron TAP officer and
COMTRAWING SIX, the student's performance becomes marginal due
to participation in the TAP, the student will join a regular
class.
903.
PIPELINE CHANGES
a. Definition. Pipeline changes are used to switch SNAs from
one pipeline to another when they cannot continue training in
their current pipeline. (refer to Figure XI-2)
