OVERVIEW

• SYLLABUS PANEL OBJECTIVES• PRE-LAUNCH QUESTIONS + ANSWERS• UNIVERSAL SYLLABUS SNAP-SHOT• CURRENT MNTS SYLLABUS VS PROPOSED

SYLLABUS– Flt/Sim/Academic/Instructional Hours per OUI– Bottom Line on TTT/Cost/Manning

• Goods/Bads/Counters• Summary• Questions

OBJECTIVES

• Meet evolving needs of FTU/FRS• Streamline, Unify, & Cater Training

– Produce more competent, fleet-ready aviators who leave with current skill-sets AND an Amplified “BIG THREE” Competency.

WHAT ARE THE BIG THREE?

• BAR– Gaining Units & Internal Review Directs

Need for increased airmanship and navigation skill, to include approaches, TACAN savvy, and air sense.

• Radar Proficiency– Strike Platforms Require Basic A/A &

enhanced A/G proficiency/understanding for tactical environments

• Real World Timing/Terrain Integration

– S/F Mission dictates stronger emphasis on radar skill for A/A & A/G.

WHAT ARE THE BIG THREE?

•M/C Responsibilities

–T-2 Internal Review/FTU & FRS feedback reveals Strike & S/F complete OUIs deficient in owning and directing mission

–M/C Responsibilities are a product of and a catalyst for increased BAR and Radar Skill

Panel Pre-Launch Questions

• How Can We Accomplish the Big Three?– What events give “best bang for the buck?”– What is required for introductory A/A radar

understanding?– How will syllabus affect cost and TTT?– How will syllabus manning & aircraft needs?– How will Instructor Training/Qualifications

potentially be affected?

ANSWERS

• Maximizing Out/Ins & Non-local events facilitates Big Three for every OUI on every sortie– Strikes + Comps

• All OUI’s will progress through modified syllabus and select after basic A/A academics and simulators.

•Strike & S/F Instructors potentially teach all events from STK Seminar Through Selection.

•TTT/Cost/Manning/Aircraft

Level II Data:Training & Acquisition

• The Navy wants to…– Ensure Sailor Succeeds in Navy and Civilian Life– Increase Opportunities by providing Industry recognized certifications– Ensure Training is Effective – Identify Redundancies in Training– Identify Gaps in Training– Identify Inadequate Training

• How do we get there?– Gather more granular data associated with Level I data– This process is the Level II Data Collection– Level II is an inventory of how you perform Level I data


•Level II data collection gathers information on training and the Integrated Learning Environment.

•Level II data elements offer more discrete descriptors of work requirements and performance statements.

•Level II content data elements include: – Subtasks– Steps– Specialty Skills– Special Abilities– Specific Tools– Specific Knowledge– Specific Resources

Level II – Training and Requirements Analysis Introduction


The Case for Use Case

• Use Cases allow you to collect Level II Data for scenarios in which the same occupational task is performed differently

• Use case is a Platform, System or Environment

• Use case may also be another factor such as “Mission”

• What factor causes the difference in the Level ll Data?

• Ask: Does the work being performed differ based on Platform, System, Environment or Other?

The Hawkeye’s mission is to execute the Commander’s Intent by providing on-scene carrier airborne command and control of Joint and Combined Forces within the battle space.

The Hawkeye’s weapon system provides early warning of enemy air and sea forces while alsoproviding leadership and direction of all assets within its area of responsibility.

E-2C CAT 1 NFO SYLLABUSE-2C CAT 1 NFO SYLLABUS• From indoctrination to the Fleet

– 54 weeks, in two parts– Consists of Academic, Simulator and Flight events.– Emphasis on Academics and Simulator events. – Approximately 40 flight hours in model.

• Prior to Wings (First 35 weeks):– Focused on systems, preflight and general NATOPS

knowledge.– Must demonstrate safe and effective tactical air control

with live aircraft in order to earn their “Wings of Gold”.• Post Wings (19 weeks):

– Focused on employment of the E-2C Hawkeye’s weapons system in dynamic tactical environments.

• FY class sizes are not meeting NAPPI flow early in the year, causing large classes at the end of the this fiscal year.– Students are reporting to VAW-120 with sufficient

pre-load time, but not in sufficient numbers.

• “Pump and Dump” mind set.– VAW-120 is receiving a large portion of students

who appear to have grown up using this method of learning.

– Significant time and effort is being spent to change the students’ approach to learning and knowledge retention.

E-2C NFO CAT 1 ISSUESE-2C NFO CAT 1 ISSUES• Medical / Aviation Physiology

– Since January 2004, there have been two SNFOs who were NPQ’d for reasons that should have been caught in earlier phases of training.

• 1 SNFO awaiting medical review board for back problems-high probability of NPQ.

• 1 SNFO placed on training hold for weight issues (later separated for DUI).

– 2 NPQ out of an average of 44 SNFOs per year is 4.5% of our 9% planned attrition.

UNCLASSIFIED

• Medical / Aviation Physiology (cont’d)– Six of the last 44 students (14.3%) have had

aeromedical problems in the aircraft. • 2 have Dropped on Request (4.5% of 9%

planned attrition)• 3 have completed the program• 1 is pre-Wings

– A large percentage of students are having Aero medical problems. They are getting to the Fleet, but at the cost of additional time in the aircraft and simulator.

HAWKEYE BOTTOM LINEHAWKEYE BOTTOM LINEUNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

• Pre-Winging Syllabus is “aircraft system oriented.” – CAT 1’s need to be average to above-average players

academically. A major portion of the syllabus is academically oriented.

• Post-Winging Syllabus is “tactically oriented.”– CAT 1’s receive 4 months of fighter, strike group, and joint

tactics. CAT 1’s need to be aggressive, confident, and need to be able to handle heavy multi-task evolutions!

• Aero medically fit– CAT 1’s receive only 14 syllabus flights over a 54 week period

(1 flight every 3-4 weeks). CAT 1’s need to be adapted to the rigors of flight prior to arrival at the FRS.

QUESTIONS?QUESTIONS?

Over the last year, VAW-120 has become concerned with the quality of students reporting from the VTs. We are looking to increase the awareness of the Hawkeye’s mission to ensure students show up motivated, prepared and ready to train.

Social Hour

Primary Working Group

• Contact Stage:– Exposure to piloting skills is beneficial.

• Instrument Stage:– More emphasis on Mission Commander

skills, such as assertiveness and SA.– PFPS Training. Reduce manual plotting

and integrate PFPS starting with Primary Instrument Flights

Other Issues

• E-6– Enhance primary training, i.e. more

instrument flights. Students proceed directly to FRS for wings.

– Start Security Clearance screening earlier to reduce FRS attrites.

Other Issues

• C-130– Recommend sending students through

B-1 track.

– MC skills need to be emphasized.

– PFPS, PFPS, PFPS!

Other Issues

• E-2C:– Intermediate training is very beneficial

and should be retained in training pipeline.

– The E-2C is not a good platform to send airsick students.

– Quality spread is not an “even” spread.

Questions?

Intermediate Phase

• MNTS• E-2 Concerns• P-3 Concerns• AFSOC

MNTS Concerns

• May Foster a lack of Motivation– Lack of Pressure to Perform on Every

Flight…

May lead to– Students Not focused until Crisis

Situation

Hawkeye Concerns

• Current Raw Product– Many Unmotivated – Pump & Dump– Bottom of the Barrel– Quality Spread?

• 9 mos avg NSS: 46.6

Hawkeye Concerns

• Loss of Intermediate Phase (Skill set)Int Phase Necessary for:

– MC Training– Task Saturation– Strike Package Task Load Appreciation– Ability Screening Process

P-3 Concerns

• Randolph Goes away…• Intermediate Phase? A Solution to:

– Multitasking Capability Limited– Lacking in Mental Agility– Lack of challenge in Primary / Randolph

(Randolph Step Backwards?)

AFSOC

• AFSOC program Shifted to Strike pipeline

• Early Introduction to PFPS / JMPS

Questions?

Strike Group Summary

• Universal syllabus approval• Keep working the basics and high

task loads• Stress outside the box thinking• More dynamic flights in tune with

current employment from the start• Stress professionalism and solid work

ethic for the FTU/FRS

S/F & ATM SUMMARY

• Overall good product• Universal syllabus• Concerns of follow-on platform• Stress basics and task saturation• Decrease TTT
