FSLG Background

CNATRAINST 1550.6E

14 October 2003

604. FSLG Background. Students are expected to read the

appropriate portion of the FTI prior to attending the flight

support lecture. The lecture is intended to tie the FTI, NATOPS,

and specific 1542 requirements together in addition to providing

a logical opportunity for the instructor to bring in local

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Course Rules as they

apply to that stage. The published CNATRA FSLG will be void of

all SOPs and Course Rules. At the conclusion of the flight

support lecture, each student or IUT will be given a test of

twenty or more questions to cover all learning objectives.

605. FSLG Content. SM/CMs are responsible for submitting

proposed FSLGs, normally as a result of a curriculum conference,

using the following steps (and format found in Appendix J):

a. Instructors using the FSLGs should be encouraged to

submit improvement recommendations using the TCR form.

b. A thorough knowledge of the FTI, NATOPS, and the 1542

is required before writing an FSLG.

c. All items taught to the student from the 1542 should be

listed in chronological order, that is, in the order that the

student will experience them. Items which have been previously

discussed in an FSLG should be listed but need not be reviewed.

d. Objectives, as listed in the 1542 under the Flight

Support Lecture, should be addressed as procedures that are

discussed. Every objective must be covered. If the 1542 is

lacking, this would be the best time to update the 1542

objectives as well (see Chapter 4).

e. SM/CMs need only submit the content pages. CNATRA is

responsible for the cover, letter of promulgation, and TCR.

f. The smoothed FSLG should be submitted as outlined in

Chapter 3.

606. Electronic Classroom and Computer Assisted Instruction.

SM/CMs are responsible for ensuring all electronic classroom and

CAI software is updated and remains current. Required changes

should be submitted to the CNATRA PTO. The CNATRA PTO will

forward required changes to the FTSC for revision and

distribution via TIMS, as applicable.
