CHAPTER 3
THE TRAINING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)
300.
Purpose
a. This chapter outlines the Training Improvement Program
(TIP). It is the administrative sequence required to change or
revise the aviation training publications outlined in paragraph 104.
b.
Trouble Calls
(1) Trouble calls are a necessary and functional part of
the Flight Training Support Center (FTSC) and all CNATRA training
management systems (TMS2, TIS, STASS, and TIMS).
(2) Any problem with training management system
hardware or data fixes should be resolved via a trouble call IAW
the flowchart in Figure 3.1. Issues which require a change to
the curriculum managed by any training management system will
require use of the TCR as described below.
301. The Training Change Request (TCR) Form. The following two
figures (see Figures 3.2 and 3.3) contain copies of the CNATRA
TCR form. These forms shall be located at each squadron, TRAWING
training department, and simulator location, and will be made
available to all instructors and students via hardcopy or
electronic copy. The TCR form may be ordered through CNATRA
(N1221) or downloaded from the CNATRA web site. Instructors and
students should be familiar with the purpose and location of
these forms. TCRs will be administered per paragraph 302.
302. Completing a TCR. The first page of a CNATRA TCR is a
joint form that was developed by the Navy and Air Force for use
in conjunction with the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System
(JPATS) Program. As a result, the first page is used by both
services. CNATRA has created a "page 2" which is to be used only
within CNATRA. In order to complete the entire TCR, the
following guidance is provided:
Block 1.
Originator's Name and Squadron/Unit (required)
Block 2.
Command Name and Address (required)
Block 3.
Date of submission (MM/DD/YY) (required)
Block 4.
DSN or full commercial phone number (required)
Block 5.
