Academic/Flight Support
a. Academic Training. Academic training shall be
accomplished in accordance with the Sequencing Guidelines.
Criterion tests and end of course tests will be administered,
graded, and recorded in accordance with the procedures outlined
in CNATRAINST 1500.4F. Acceptable standards are also given in
that instruction.
b. Flight Procedures Examinations. Prior to the first
simulator or aircraft event, and prior to designated curriculum
events FAM-17X, BI-07, RI-05, AN-07, NFAM-03X, FCLP-02X, ON-04,
WEP-06, TACF-01, NFORM-03X, ACM-01, ACM-10, and CQ-15X, each
student shall successfully pass the flight procedures
examination covering the appropriate stage. Failure of the
examination shall constitute an observed down for preflight
preparation and shall be processed in the normal manner.
16. Drop on Request (DOR) Policy. All NATRACOM courses are
voluntary. Accordingly, students have the option to
individually request termination of training. Any time the
student makes a statement such as "I quit" or "DOR", the student
shall be immediately removed from the training environment and
referred to the operations or training officer for
administrative action.
17. Training Time Out Policy. Any time a student or instructor
of another, he or she shall signal for a "Training Time Out" to
clarify the situation and receive or provide additional
instruction. "Training Time Out" signals other than verbal
shall be appropriate to the training environment and clearly
briefed.
18. Landing Per Stage. The following is the recommended
minimum number of landings per stage, with corresponding
recommended average landings per sortie. A flight should not be
incomplete if a student does not meet the recommended average
landings per sortie for a given event. Commanding Officers are
authorized to schedule warm up flights in order to meet
recommended stage minimums, if student performance so warrants.
However, students are required to have 170 landings minimum
prior to FCLP-02X, and 310 landings minimum prior to CQ-04.
Landings are defined as full flap, left-hand pattern (FCLP
type).
