APPENDIX B T-34C TERMINAL OBJECTIVES
The Aerospace Medicine Specialist curriculum is designed to teach
the fundamental skills of flying in a lightweight, single-engine
aircraft. Flying skills learned by the student aviator in this
training phase are common throughout the undergraduate pilot
training program. Upon satisfactory completion of this primary
phase, the student will be able to perform the following task
objectives:
1. Control the aircraft in visual and instrument meteorological
conditions with instructor assistance, during day and night shore-
based operations; solo in visual meteorological conditions during
day shore-based operations. The student will demonstrate the
ability to perform flight maneuvers with the proficiency required
to satisfactorily meet the entrance standards of the next phase of
training.
2. Analyze the meteorological, physiological, life support
factors, aerodynamic principles and interpret the limiting
environmental factors affecting flight, prior to and during
flight. Standards are further defined in the learning objectives.
3. Communicate with air traffic control facilities assisted by
the instructor. The degree of proficiency attained will enable
the student to use standard Navy terminology and standard
terminology of the Federal Aviation Administration in airborne
4. Manage aircraft systems, while operating under the conditions
stated in paragraph A. The student will be able to assess the
material condition of the aircraft and relate aircraft readiness
to the procedures and limitations set forth in the Naval Air
Training Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) Manual,
tactical doctrine and command directives.
5. Control the aircraft in formation flight, with instructor
assistance, during day visual meteorological conditions. The
student will demonstrate the ability to recognize relative motion
and perform the fundamental maneuvers required for two-plane
formation flight.
6. Adopt a course of conduct and behavior which reflects, by
action and word, the highest standards of the Naval Service.
