The Tc calculated is the total contact time required to complete
the phase of training.
b. Time To Train (Tt). The following factors are
considered in computing time to train: weather, unsatisfactory
events and associated delays, medical groundings, and flight or
simulator events canceled due to lack of instructor or equipment
availability. The combination of these factors constitutes
additional time required to train expressed as a percentage (∆t)
of the curriculum time (Tc). The ∆t for the T-45A Jet
Transition Strike Flight Instructor Training Curriculum is 15.0%.
The formula for computing time to train (Tt) is as follows:
∆t) = Tt
