Complete STUDY GUIDE BLOCK3 UNIT1-2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The Aircrew Training Program ensures what? | ensures all aircrew members obtain and maintain the qualification and proficiency needed to perform their unit's mission effectively. |
| What is the objective of the ATP? | is to develop and maintain the highest state of mission readiness for immediate and effective employment in exercises, peacekeeping operations, contingencies, and war. |
| What publication outlines the ATP? | AFMAN 11-202V1 |
| What are two Phases of the ATP? | Phase 1 - Qualification Training Phase 2- Continuation Training |
| UFT stands for what? What is the definition of UFT? | Undergraduate Flying Training: Rated Officers training starts at the AETC or undergraduate flying school, provides aircrew members with basic flying skills using low cost aircraft. (basic aeronautical rating/badge, and 3-skill-LVL) |
| Phase 1 :Qualification training | After completion of UFT or AETC the member enters qualification training. |
| What are the types of Qualification training? | Initial Qualification Training (IQT), Mission Qualification Training (MQT), Requalification training, Conversion/difference qualification, Multiple qual, and Senior Officer Qual |
| IQT: Initial Qualification Training- | is training needed to qualify an individual for basic aircrew duties in an assigned position for a specific MDS (Mission Design Series) without regard to the UNIT'S operational mission. |
| MQT: Mission Qualification Training- | provides the training needed to qualify an individual to perform the command or unit mission in an assigned aircrew position. |
| Requalification- | provides the necessary training for unqualified members to operate a specific piece of aircraft equipment or maneuver a particular MDS to regain qualification. |
| When is a member considered unqualified? | When the member's qualification evaluation expires or losses currency for more than 6 months on any currency item listed in the AFMANs 11-2 MDS specific V1 or completes Qual Eval in a Different MDS. |
| IAW AFMAN 11-202V1 | If Unqual'd for 39mnts at the end of (non-flying assignment) or up to 51 months at the end of (active flying) a member must complete training in all delinquent items, any additional items the squadron commander deems necessary, and requalification eval. |
| IAW AFMAN 11-202V1: continued | If Unqual'd for 39mnts at the end of (non-flying assignment) or at least 51mnts up to 8yrs (active flying) a member must complete the appropriate ETCA formal school flying training course (TX-2) and a flight evaluation. |
| IAW AFMAN 11-202V1: cont... | If Unqual'd in MDS over 8 years a member must complete the appropriate ETCA formal school flying training course (TX-1) and a flight evaluation. |
| Conversion/Difference Qualification- | Conversion training is associated with a member or unit converting from one MDS to another. Difference training is conducted when a member or a unit trains in a different series of an aircraft but the same MDS. |
| Multiple qualification- | MAJCOMs may authorize qualifications in more than one MDS only when such action is directed by command mission requirements and is economically justifiable. |
| Senior Officer Qualification- | Senior Officers (Colonel selects and above) whose position requires operational flying will complete the appropriate formal training course unless already qualified. ( maintain BAQ or must fly with an instructor). |
| Phase 2: Continuation Training - | provides aircrew members with the volume, frequency, and mix of training(flying and ground) needed to maintain proficiency in their assigned qualification level. |
| Continuation training is for what members? | members who are already qualified in their respective aircrew positions to maintain and develop their level of proficiency. |
| "Ground Training", or "additional training" - | refers to the portion of training that is accomplished in academic classrooms, instrument trainers, flight simulators, self study, and other training devices. |
| "Flying Training:- | refers to the portion of training that must be accomplished during an actual flight or approved training device (ATD)(simulator). |
| Training requirements (task, volume, and frequency) are based on what? | the training level assigned to each member. |
| Mission Ready (MR)- | applies to aircrew members who satisfactorily complete MQT (Mission Qualification Training ) and maintain qualification and proficiency in the command or unit's operational mission. |
| Combat Mission Ready (CMR)- | applies to aircrew members who satisfactorily complete mission qualification training (MQT) and maintain qualification and proficiency in the command unit's combat mission. |
