CONTACT TRAINING
100. INTRODUCTION
This Flight Training Instruction (FTI) contains procedures and information needed to complete the Contact
stage of training. This instruction is comprehensive; however, it is imperative you reference the T-6A Naval Air
Training and Operating Procedures Standards (NATOPS) manual when preparing for every flight (most notably for
the study of emergency procedures). Before you begin your preparation, you should understand the general goals of
the Contact stage. Student Naval Flight Officers (SNFO)/Student Weapons System Operators (SWSO) receive
"stick time" in a pilot-like syllabus in order to create and build the following skills:
HISTORY: If applicable for the specific stage or chapter being covered.
102. BACKGROUND
Naval Aviation training has come a long way since 1910 when Lieutenant T. G. Ellyson was ordered to flight
instruction to become the first Naval Aviator. Soon thereafter the U.S. Navy purchased its first aircraft, the Curtis
Triad, at a cost of ,500. Since then, naval aviation technology has progressed at a rapid rate. The fleet aircraft of
today's Navy are tremendously complex and demanding machines capable of astonishing performance.
