Training Time Analysis
a. Additional Curriculum Time. The following table shows
the additional training time involved for each programmed
curriculum hour, flight or simulator event. The figures
represent the average additional time an IUT is involved in the
direct learning process. Training time is expressed in
curriculum time, not calendar days or calendar weeks.

b. Administrative Time. Transit time from activity to
activity, meals, scheduling delays, and military watchstanding
duties are not considered. The IUT training week is based on 6
hours of training per day, 5 days a week (30 hours). Computation
of curriculum time is based on the following formula:
ch

Curriculum hours
e
=
Events
k

Tc

Total curriculum time
ch + (ch x k) or (e x k)

6 (hrs per day) or 30 (hrs per week)
c. Time-To-Train (Tt). The following factors are considered
in computing time-to-train: weather, unsatisfactory events,
associated delays, medical grounding, and flight or simulator
events canceled due to lack of instructor or equipment
availability. The combination of these factors constitutes
additional time (∆t) required to train expressed as a percentage
of the curriculum time (Tc). The ∆t for the T-45C Strike Flight
Instructor Training Curriculum is 10.0 percent. The formula for
computing time-to-train (Tt) is as follows:
∆t) = Tt
Tc + (Tc
