MISSION OF CNATRA TRAINING
104. Flight Training Curricula. The program for aviation
curriculum consists of training instructions, training
publications, training forms, and training examinations (see
Figure 1.2). (For the purposes of this instruction, all training
instructions, publications, forms and examinations will
henceforth be described collectively as "training publications.")
Each phase of flight training normally uses all of the
publications. Some flight support lectures utilize computer
based electronic classrooms and Computer Assisted Instruction
(CAI).
a. CNATRA instructions 1542 curricula (CNATRAINST 1542s)
are the Chief of Naval Operations authorization to conduct a
course of instruction. These instructions are required for all
CNATRA courses since they authorize manpower and material
expenditures. The 1542 outlines the required maneuvers to be
flown on each flight and objectives to be learned from each
lecture. It provides instructors and students with a guide which
they can use
to brief and fly each aircraft and simulator event. Additionally,
the 1542s outline the sequence of all events for each phase of
instruction. Instructors and students shall have a working copy of
the 1542. A complete 1542, which includes Appendix A, shall be
maintained in each standardization library. All other CNATRA
training publications are derivatives of their respective
CNATRAINST 1542.
b. Aviation and Instructor Training Forms (ATFs/ITFs)
(henceforth collectively referred to as simply "ATFs") are forms
used by the instructors to grade each flight. They reflect
information found in the 1542.
