1. IUT TRAINING OBJECTIVES. The T-45A Jet Transition Strike
Flight Instructor Training Curriculum is designed to satisfy
eight training objectives, which results in the transition of
the IUT into a jet aircraft instructor, capable of teaching Navy
tactical flying skills. Standards of military decorum expected
of all naval officers, as defined in prior training directives,
will be observed on a daily basis. The goal of all T-45A flight
instructors under training is to meet the appropriate terminal
learning objectives within the specified flight hour and
calendar day limitations. Upon satisfactory completion of the
curriculum, the IUT will be able to fulfill the following task
objectives:
a. Aviation. Instruct student naval aviators (SNAs) in
controlling the aircraft dual or solo, day and night, in various
meteorological conditions and stages of flight as required.
Aircraft control must be maintained while meeting all other
objectives.
b. Navigation. Instruct SNAs in maintaining aircraft
position within a desired geographical area or along a desired
ground track using visually acquired landmarks, aircraft
installed electronic equipment, aeronautical charts, voice
communications with controlling agencies, and dead reckoning
techniques while complying with Federal Aviation Regulations and
standard operating procedures.
c. Communications. Instruct SNAs in communicating clearly
with ground facilities and with other aircraft using approved
radio procedures, and light, hand, or aircraft maneuvering
signals as appropriate.
d. Systems Management. Instruct SNAs in the management of
aircraft flight, communications, navigation, and weapons
delivery systems as required for successful mission completion.
e. Flight Planning. Instruct SNAs in planning the safe
conduct of each flight from preflight to mission completion,
considering pilot, aircraft, and weather limitations.
f. Headwork. Ensure SNAs demonstrate understanding of
aerodynamics, navigation, communications, systems management,
and planning principles by the exercise of sound judgment while
accomplishing all training objectives. Compliance with all
