training. System training management is designed to facilitate
two graded events (flight, simulator, or exam) per student per
day.
b. Accelerated Progression. Under exceptional
circumstances, a student’s previous flight experience or
demonstrated proficiency may warrant accelerated progression.
The Squadron Commander may advance the student to the next block
of instruction when all required items for the current block of
instruction meet EOB MIF. This policy shall not be used to
accelerate squadron production goals. It is strictly for the
rare instances where the student’s demonstrated proficiency
makes completion of all events within a block of instruction
unnecessary. For example, pipeline reassignment students from
Strike may warrant acceleration through the Instrument stage
based on previous instrument training. All records for the
accelerated student, including the ATJ and mini-ATJ, will be
clearly marked ACCELERATED PROGRESSION. ATFs for the events not
flown will be completed with a note in the remarks section
stating “ACCELERATED PROGRESSION – EVENT NOT FLOWN. ATF
COMPLETED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY IAW
CNATRAINST 1542.SERIES.”
c. Maneuver Continuity. Students must accomplish
previously introduced maneuvers frequently enough to ensure
maintaining required proficiency.
d. Hours/X. Instructor Pilots shall plan and execute
missions to meet H/X as closely as practical. If actual event
length varies from H/X by more than 0.3 hours, annotate
reason(s) in ATF’s general comments section. A student’s
deficiency is not an acceptable reason to exceed H/X by more
than 0.3 hours.
e. Special Syllabus Requirements. SSRs are allocated to
flights. Unless noted otherwise, IPs may accomplish SSRs on any
flight within the block. SSRs shall be completed in the
specified block. Annotate completed SSRs in the ATF’s SSR
comments section. Assign NG/1 as the SSR maneuver grade.
f. Aviation Training Jacket Reviews. Class Advisors will
conduct jacket reviews at least weekly. SMS students require
weekly ATJ reviews with Student Control Officer or
representative.
