TC 3-04.11 Aircrew Training Program

Question 1

Individual aviator responsibilities:

Answer 1

• Ensure they remain technically and tactically proficient at all assigned tasks
• Remain current
• Execute individually tailored self-development plan

Question 2

Readiness level training: RL progression

-RL1

Answer 2

• Crewmember is fully qualified and proficient in base and ATP required mission and additional tasks.
• Sustain and improve proficiency in tasks based on continuing training.
• Must complete continuation requirements and stay current.

Question 3

Readiness level training: RL progression

-RL2

Answer 3

• Crewmember is fully qualified and proficient in all base tasks.
• Train to proficiency in mission and additional tasks in support of the METL.

Question 4

Readiness level training: RL progression

-RL3

Answer 4

• Crewmember is not qualified in the aircraft

- Training to proficiency in base tasks (1000-series tasks)

Question 5

Flight activity categories (FAC)

-FAC 1

Answer 5

• High degree of proficiency in the tactical employment of assigned aircraft.
  
  • Higher semiannual flying-hour requirements.
  • All operational flying positions and company level with assigned aircraft.
  • All aviators with less than 2 years of initial operational assignment after graduation from flight school.

Question 6

Flight activity categories (FAC)

-FAC 2

Answer 6

• Require same level of proficiency in individual and crew tasks as FAC 1, but less in company and battalion collective tasks.
  
  • Collective proficiency should be sufficient to minimize training.
  • Units without a METL or MTOE that supports tactical employment of its assigned aircraft.

Question 7

Flight activity categories (FAC)

-FAC 3

Answer 7

• TDA units and to positions in brigade level and above.
  
  • Prohibited from performing crewmember duties in army aircraft.
  • Remain current with simulator.

Question 8

PC responsibilities:

Answer 8

• Unit’s first level trainer
• Proficient in aircraft and all aspects of unit METL
• Responsible for safe operation of the aircraft, safety of occupants, and the conduct of all operational and training aspects of a specific mission

Question 9

Commander’s evaluation:

Answer 9

• The purpose is to determine a crewmember’s proficiency and corresponding RL.
• Evaluation results in initial RL designation.
• Completed according to AR 95-1
• Must occur within 45 calendar days after crewmember signs into the unit or after the effective date of up-slip, whichever occurs last.

Question 10

RL Progression:

-Tasks required to progress from RL3 to RL1 are:

Answer 10

• Base 1000 series tasks
• Mission 2000 series tasks
• Additional 3000 series tasks (special tasks approved by DES)
• Maintenance 4000 series tasks

Question 11

RL Progression:

-Time frames

Answer 11

• 90 consecutive days to progress from one RL to the next.
• Must demonstrate proficiency in each mode of flight (day, night, NVD, or CBRN).
• RL progression evaluation may be continuous or administered after completing training.
• If an acceptable delay (TDY, deployment, medical/nonmedical suspension from flight, grounding, leave, less than 50% aircraft available, documented flight cancellations) exceeds 45 consecutive days, active army crewmembers must restart current phase of RL progression.

Question 12

Individual Aircrew Training Folder (IATF)

Answer 12

-Commander will ensure an IATF is prepared and maintained for each RCM and NCM.

Question 13

Commander’s task list (CTL):

Answer 13

• Task list that supports a specific duty position.
• Consists of DA form 7120-R series and its enclosures.
• Established when a crewmember is integrated into a unit’s ATP.
• Written agreement between the commander and the crewmember.
• Requirements are tailored to proficiency training.
• Designates the authorized duties and flight stattions a crewmember may occupy and the hours, tasks, iterations, evaluation requirements, and responsibilities the crewmember must accomplish during the training year.

Question 14

ATP requirements:

 -Crewmembers designated RL 1 must complete:

Answer 14

• Semiannual and annual task iterations in all modes of flight per the CTL.
• Semiannual and annual flying hour minimums designated by CTL.
• Annual standardization flight evaluation.
• Annual instrument flight evaluation.
• Annual NVG flight evaluation.
• Annual operator’s manual examination.
• Annual ACT-E sustainment module for primary aircraft.
• All other requirements as designated by the commander (CID,CBRN, hypobaric, etc.)

Question 15

ATP requirements:

 -Additional training requirements:

Answer 15

• Local area orientation.
• Aircrew information reading files.
• Airfield operations and procedures.
• Airfield layout and facilities.
• Local area orientation flight.
• Aircrew coordination training - enhanced.

 -Semi-annual flying hour requirements:

Answer 16

-FAC 1: 45 hours

Question 17

Aircraft Qualification:

 -Semi-annual NVG:

Answer 17

-Minimum requirement of 9 hours.

Question 18
