Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Chapter 4 Training (3) To ensure standardization throughout Army aviation, flight training will be conducted using the training and evaluation require- ments prescribed in the appropriate ATM. Flight Training Guides (FTGs) are authorized at USAAVNC and other DA designated training bases to describe unique tasks, conditions, standards, poli- cies, and procedures that are not in the ATM. (4) Training an aviator in an aircraft category other than that in which he or she is qualified to fly is permitted only in a formal school course (DA Pam 351-4). An Army aviator qualified in an aircraft category by another U.S.
Service is authorized local qualifi- cation training in that category. Local qualifications will be con- ducted under the auspices of an official course utilizing a DA approved POI. (5) Aviator and instructor pilot qualification training in nonstan- dard aircraft will be conducted per Chapter 9. (6) Those aviators who successfully complete qualification train- ing conducted by the active Army, ARNG, USAR, or other U.S. military service will be awarded an additional military occupational specialty (MOS) or additional skill identifier (ASI) (AR 611-112).
(7) A statement of completed aircraft or aircraft system (NVG, ESSS, and so forth) qualification training will be entered in the remarks section of DA Form 759. The personnel officer will include the statement in the member’s military personnel records. b. Refresher training. When an aviator has not flown within the p a s t 1 8 0 d a y s , t h e a v i a t o r w i l l r e c e i v e t h e a p p r o p r i a t e f l i g h t refresher training prescribed in the ATM. The gaining command is responsible for refresher training except for air-crew members reas- signed to overseas commands for duty in an operational flying position.
If reassigned overseas, the losing command is responsible for the training. When the losing command does not have training resources available, they will request assistance from the next higher headquarters. Section I Training Program and Literature 4–1. General The aircrew training program (ATP) will be in accordance with TC 1-210 and the appropriate aircraft ATM. 4–2. Waivers to requirements a. Unit waivers to primary aircraft ATP requirements may be granted only by these authorities. (1) Commanders of MACOMs. ( 2 ) C o m m a n d e r , U n i t e d S t a t e s A r m y R e s e r v e C o m m a n d (USARC). (3) Chief, National Guard Bureau. b.
Individual waivers to primary aircraft ATP requirements may be granted by the first commander, Colonel (O6) or above, in the individual’s chain of command. c . W a i v e r s w i l l s t a t e t h e s p e c i f i c r e q u i r e m e n t t h a t i s t o b e waived. 4–3. Publications Aircraft operator’s manuals and checklists are the primary refer- ences governing the operation of a specific aircraft. ATM, field manuals, technical manuals, and training circulars will be used as required. When differences exist between other publications and this regulation, this regulation has precedence.
DA Forms 2028 (Recom- mended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms), recommending changes to these publications, will be submitted through the aviation unit commander to the proponent of the manuals. 4–4. Aircrew information reading files Aviation units will establish and maintain aircrew training and infor- m a t i o n r e a d i n g f i l e s p e r A R 3 8 5 - 9 5 a n d T C 1 - 2 1 0 . A s s i g n e d aircrew personnel will read and remain familiar with these files. 4–7. Annual proficiency and readiness test a. The annual proficiency and readiness test (APART) will be conducted per TC 1-210 and appropriate ATM.
The APART is given to each RL 1 and DAC crew member within the APART p e r i o d . F o r D A C c r e w m e m b e r s , i n d i v i d u a l c o m p o n e n t s o f t h e APART may be accomplished in any calendar quarter designated by the commander. b. APART results will be entered on DA Form 759. 4–5. Aircrew training program a. The ATP standardizes training and evaluation to ensure com- bat readiness. b. The ATP outlined in the ATM is mandatory for all military aviators assigned to operational aviation positions and all other crew m e m b e r s s p e c i f i e d i n A T M s .
A T P r e q u i r e m e n t s i n c l u d e h o u r s , tasks, and iterations identified in appropriate ATMs; synthetic flight training systems (SFTS) requirements; readiness level (RL) progres- sion; and annual proficiency and readiness test (APART). Aviators assigned or attached to another Service will meet the requirements of that service. Department of the Army Civilian (DAC) crew mem- bers will be trained and evaluated as specified in writing by the c o m m a n d e r a s n e c e s s a r y t o m e e t t h e r e q u i r e m e n t s o f t h e j o b description. c. The commander may excuse an aviator scheduled for separa- tion or retirement from active duty from all ATP requirements.
The aviator may be excused beginning no sooner than 6 months before scheduled retirement or separation date. This does not apply to those who have initiated action to join a RC aviation unit. Aviators who are excused from ATP requirements are prohibited from performing crew member duties. 4–8. Emergency procedures training Training in emergency procedures will be conducted per ATMs. Training will be in dual controlled aircraft. A qualified IP or SP who is current in that mission, type, design, and series will be at one set of the controls. a. Airplanes. (1) Single engine training in multi-engine airplanes may be con- ducted under the following conditions only:
(a) Complete engine stoppage (propeller or turbine stopped) will be in visual flight rules (VFR) conditions at least 4,000 feet above ground level (AGL). (b) Simulated engine shutdown on climbout after takeoff may be accomplished if indicated airspeed is at or above the prescribed velocity of safe single engine (VSSE) OPERATION for that air- plane. Exceptions are granted for those aircraft which are specifi- cally authorized V1 engine cuts. (c) The runway used for landing must be at least 4000 feet long and meet the criteria in table 5-1. (2) Touch-and-go landings may be performed under the follow- ing conditions: (a) Aircraft must have two sets of controls.
(b) IP or SP must be at one set of controls. (c) Runway used must meet accelerate and stop distance require- ments plus 2,000 feet. (d) Training involving touch-and-go landings will be done ac- cording to the appropriate ATM. b. Helicopters. (1) Hydraulics-off, autorotations (except from a hover), and an- titorque touchdown emergency procedures training in single engine 4–6. Aircraft qualification/refresher training a. Qualification training. (1) Formal training at other DA designated training bases may be conducted upon receipt of approval by HQDA DCSOPS, ATTN: D A M O - T R O . A R N G s p e c i f i c r e q u e s t s w i l l b e r o u t e d t h r o u g h CNGB, ATTN: NGB-AVN-O to DAMO-TRO.
