CURRICULUM GUIDELINES

Sequencing.

a. General. The T-45A Strike Flight Designated Naval

Aviator Jet Refresher/NATOPS (JREF/NATOPS) Training Curriculum

is comprised of the NATOPS training stage which integrates

academic instruction, flight support lessons, simulator and

aircraft instruction.

b. Guidelines. The JREF/NATOPS Course Map follows the

Instructor Under Training (IUT) curriculum through a NATOPS

evaluation flight. It incorporates sequencing alternatives, as

well as hard prerequisites. Additional training will be provided

as required by the individual Jet Refresher (JREF/NATOPS)

Trainee.

2. Briefing and Debriefing.

Adequate briefing time shall be

provided and utilized.

a. Briefing. All briefs will be in accordance with the

appropriate NATOPS flight manual and briefing guide.

For multi-plane events, all flight members (i.e., instructors,

observers, students, passengers, etc.) shall be briefed by the

flight leader in the briefing area. Although JREF's 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 completion, omissions and deletions of

prerequisite exercises,

(2) Attainment/non-attainment of aircraft control and

mission performance standards,

(3) Specific comments on the JREF's performance

requirements when appropriate.
