1.4. Aircrew Training Policy. When formal course attendance is not practical or quotas are not

available, units submit requests for in-unit, secondary method training (SMT) to the

MAJCOM/A3 (May be delegated, but not below NAF/DO). Any changes to formal course

requirements due to local conditions or limitations must be identified in the request and approved

by the MAJCOM/A3T. Any aircrew member who was previously removed from a formal

qualification course for substandard performance is ineligible for a secondary method training

waiver. When suitable formal course training products are not available, units submit locally-

developed training syllabi to their MAJCOM/A3T for approval.

1.4.1. Secondary Method Training. Attempt to complete SMT within 180 days of training

start. Aircrew members must complete secondary method training within 300 days from the

date of their first ground training session or first flight, whichever occurs first. Units will

notify MAJCOM training office with a description of the difficulty and expected completion

date when training exceeds 180 days. An extension past 300 days requires MAJCOM/A3

approval.

When the courseware is adapted for local use, modify it only if the training is

incompatible with local training conditions.

1.4.1.3. MAJCOM-approved differences training may be conducted in unit without a

waiver.

1.4.1.4. Units conducting training where a waiver is not required (i.e. complete training

for restricted AF Form 8, Certicate of Aircrew Qualification, MAJCOM approved

differences training) will send a request for any applicable courseware through channels

to MAJCOM training office, with an information copy to the appropriate formal school.

Include unit point of contact (name, rank, office symbol, and telephone number) and the

name and rank of the individual who will receive the training.

1.4.2. Training Forms. Aircrew training records and forms will be established and

maintained per Chapter 6 of this publication.

physical condition allows. Consult the flight surgeon initiating AF Form 1042, Medical

Recommendation for Flying or Special Operational Duty, action if the DNIF status includes

ground training limitations.

1.4.4. In-flight Supervision. Unless specifically directed, the unit commander determines

the level of supervision necessary to accomplish required training. If the mission objectives

include introduction to tasks or instruction to correct previous discrepancies, then an

instructor may be required. The following personnel must be supervised by an instructor

from a like crew position when performing aircrew duties.

1.4.4.1. Non-current crewmembers.

1.4.4.2. Crewmembers in initial, difference, upgrade or requalification flying training.

conducted per this publication may incur an active duty service commitment per AFI 36-2107,

Active Duty Service Commitments (ADSC). Reference AFI 36-2107 for program specifics.

1.5.1. Enlisted aircrew must either accept an ADSC or attain retainability, as applicable.

Note: Due to the extended nature of some in-unit upgrades, ADSCs will be effective upon

completion of the training or 120 days after the first flying event, whichever occurs first.

1.6. Waivers. HQ USAF/A3O-A is the waiver authority for training requirements as specified

in AFI 11-202, Vol. 1, which has delegated this to HQ MAJCOM/A3 for specific aircrew

training events (case by case basis). These requirements currently include initial crew resource

management (CRM) training, initial life support equipment and procedures training, survival,

evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE), flight evaluations, and egress training (see AFI 11-202,

Vol. 1 for specific guidance). For case-by-case individual waivers for flight physical and

physiological training currencies, MAJCOM/SGP and AFMSA/SGPA are the respective waiver

authorities. Some ground training items (e.g. small arms, law of armed conflict (LOAC), etc) are

tasked by other agencies. HQ MAJCOM/A3 is the waiver authority for CV-22-specific Vol 1

aircrew training requirements unless otherwise noted in this publication.

1.6.2. General Waiver Format: Name, grade, flying organization (assigned or attached),

present crew position (including special mission qualifications), total flying time and primary

aircraft assigned (PAA) time (including instructor, evaluator, and MDS simulator time, if

applicable) and justification, crew qualification to which member is qualifying or upgrading,

scheduled training start date, expected upgrade or qualification date, date last event

accomplished, remarks, and requesting unit point of contact (include name, rank, telephone

number, and office symbol). Waiver format templates are available on the HQ AFSOC/A3T

training Sharepoint site, https://eis.afsoc.af.mil/sites/A3/A3T/A3TA/default.aspx.

1.6.3. Operations Group commander or equivalent (e.g., CJSOAC/CC) may:

1.6.3.1. Waive 10 percent of the total and PAA hours required for upgrade in all crew

positions, on an individual basis only. A copy of the waiver must be filed in the

individual’s training record. Students attending formal school will bring a waiver letter

to the formal school for insertion into their training record.

1.6.3.2. Extend ground training requirement due dates up to 2 months for grounding

items in Table 4.2 on an individual basis only. Exception: Items referenced in

paragraph 1.6. levied by other AFIs may not be waived by the OG unless specifically

authorized to do so in the source AFI. These events may count towards the next periodic

14 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

requirements (units should note on waiver when events were accomplished and the

ARMS due date should be updated).

1.6.3.3. Extend due dates for the duration of an exercise, contingency or operational

mission for Table 4.2 (Ground Training) events on an individual basis only if a

crewmember goes overdue while away from home station and the training is not

available at the deployed location. Exception: Items referenced in paragraph 1.6. levied

by other AFIs may not be waived by the OG unless specifically authorized to do so in the

source AFI.

1.6.3.4. Waive all flying training requirements (Table 4.3 and Table 4.4 except as

otherwise noted) on an individual basis only. Wings/groups must keep an accurate

record of waivers granted. Notify MAJCOM training office when waivers are issued.

1.6.4. Unit commanders may carry new crewmembers as ―mission ready‖ for up to 6 months

if an aircrew member arrives at the unit after a PCS or formal school and is not mission ready

(MR) in all core mission events. Units must notify MAJCOM training office of any OG

extensions. Under no circumstance will aircrew perform core items in which they are not

qualified unless under the direct supervision of an instructor. This waiver does not apply to

basic aircraft qualification events. If training is not complete in six months, the aircrew

member becomes ―non-mission ready‖ (NMR). Squadrons will have 6 months from the time

a new core mission event is added and MAJCOM guidance is issued to train and qualify

aircrew in the new event.

1.6.5. All waiver requests for pilots non-current for shipboard operations will be forwarded

to HQ AFSOC/A3T. HQ AFSOC/A3T will forward waiver requests through HQ

USAF/A3OS to Chief, Naval Operations (CNO) for consideration. Waiver format will be

complete the appropriate formal training course and maintain BAQ, BMC, or MR in a unit

aircraft, or will complete the appropriate key staff course and fly in observer status. Career

enlisted aviator’s (CEA) in supervisory flying positions will complete the appropriate formal

training course and maintain BMC or MR in a unit aircraft. Flying squadron commanders

and operations officers will maintain MR status. Pilots flying in observer status must always

be supervised by an instructor pilot when occupying a set of controls.

AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011 15

1.8. Intra-command and Inter-command Transfer of Aircrews. For intra-command transfer

of aircrew members, the gaining organization will honor validated training completed by newly

assigned crewmembers prior to the transfer. For inter-command transfer, certifications and

qualifications should be accepted to the maximum extent practical, as long as training and

evaluation standards are equivalent. The operations officer at the gaining unit should review the

individual's career training folder and flight evaluation folder to determine which certifications

and qualifications will be honored. Aircrew members qualified in the same MDS are considered

qualified in that equipment throughout the force when used for the same mission.

1.8.1. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Screening. Losing units will screen individual

flight and ground training records during unit out-processing. Accomplish this screening in

sufficient time to correct discrepancies prior to PCS. Losing unit will provide a printed copy

of current ground and flying training summaries to individuals prior to PCS. See AFI 11-

401, Aviation Management, for additional guidance.

1.8.2. Instructor training and qualifications may be accepted at the discretion of the gaining

unit commander.

1.9. Initial Cadre for Change of Unit Aircraft, Equipment, or Capability. When possible,

qualified personnel from units operating like equipment will provide the initial cadre. In some

instances, it may be necessary for units converting from one design aircraft to another to form an

initial cadre of aircrew personnel for whom certain training qualification requirements may be

waived. Authorization to form initial cadre crews will be contained in the conversion program

action directive. Unless otherwise stated in the program action directive, the following

conditions will apply to management of initial cadre aircrew qualification.

1.9.1. A nucleus of instructor and flight examiner personnel (initial cadre) will be formed to

begin aircrew conversion. Converting units send proposed initial cadre list by name, rank,

current crew position and aircraft, total flying time, and requested crew qualification level

through channels to MAJCOM/A3 for approval.

1.9.2. Initial cadre will not be designated in a crew position higher than that most recently

held, i.e., aircraft commander to flight examiner. Enter appropriate comments in the remarks

section of the AF Form 8, AF Form 4348 or AF Form 1381, explaining the individual’s

status as initial cadre instructor or flight examiner.

1.9.3. Following final approval, each converting unit will publish a letter identifying initial

cadre instructors and flight examiners by aircraft and crew qualification. A copy of this letter

will be kept on file in each individual's Flight Evaluation Folder.

1.9.4. Initial cadre is not required for minor aircraft modifications when any required

training for that modification is provided by the contractor and/or can easily be accomplished

in-unit. Conduct differences training for the new equipment and log training on the letter of

Xs or Memo for Record (MFR). Crewmembers will not fly with new equipment until

trained.

1.10. Unit Aircrew Capability. Squadrons will maintain mission ready status on all primary

aircrew members up to unit authorizations (N/A for AETC and USAFWS instructor aircrew

members). Commanders will train aircrews to meet capabilities specified in unit designed

operational capability (DOC) statements. Supervisory aircrew and staff members assigned above

squadron level, which are in excess of the unit’s mission requirements, will maintain mission

16 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

ready, basic mission capable, or basic aircraft qualification status, as required. Note: To change

from BMC to MR status, aircrew will begin maintaining full MR flying currency. The unit

commander may assign additional training, as desired.

1.10.1. Commanders will not assign additional duties to crewmembers (officer and enlisted)

for the first 6 months of their initial operational assignment. Unit commanders will avoid

giving crewmembers on their first special operations assignment, additional duties for the

first 6 months in the unit.

1.10.2. Aircrew members will not perform long term duties which detract from the primary

duties of training for, or performing, the unit flying mission.

1.10.3. ACC and AETC Currency Requirements. Permanent party aircrew assigned to

AETC and 14 WPS instructors must maintain at least basic mission capable flying currency

in the portions of the mission they will instruct. MAJCOM/A3’s may direct specific

individuals to maintain only partial BMC qualifications. In such cases, the crewmember will

require only those currency items associated with this tailored qualification. The individual’s

AF Form 8 will indicate applicable restrictions based on assignments of less than full mission

qualification. If AETC permanent party and 14 WPS crewmembers augment operational

units, the gaining unit commander must be provided a detailed list of the individual’s current

training status. The individual must comply with MR training requirements of the gaining

unit or pursue applicable waivers through the operational unit’s MAJCOM/A3. The gaining

unit or MAJCOM may levy additional requirements as desired. Chapter 4 outlines

exceptions to continuation currency training requirements for these personnel. Note: For the

purposes of this instruction, enlisted aircrew members assigned to the 14th WPS are not

considered USAFWS instructors.

1.11. Changes. Recommendations for improvements to this instruction are encouraged. Send

recommendations to HQ AFSOC/A3T, through command channels, on an AF Form 847,

Recommendation for Change of Publication. AF/A3 is the approval authority for interim

changes to this instruction.

1.11.1. Ready Aircrew Program (RAP). MAJCOM/A3s may make changes, additions, or

deletions to the aircrew CT specified in this volume to focus training on capabilities needed

to accomplish a unit's tasked missions. These changes will be made via RAP tasking memo.

A MAJCOM RAP tasking message takes precedence over the CT specified in this volume.

Include HQ AFSOC/A3 as an info addressee on all tasking messages.

1.12. Deviations.

1.12.1. This publication does not authorize deviations from the flight manual or any other

Air Force Instruction. Flight safety will be given prime consideration and must take

precedence over the requirements and guidance of this publication.

1.13. Publication Administration. All aircrew members are authorized this publication. This

publication is available on the epublishing website.

1.13.1. Supplements. MAJCOMs will coordinate proposed MAJCOM-level supplements to

this volume through HQ AFSOC/A3TA and HQ USAF/A3O-AT prior to publication. Units

will coordinate proposed unit level supplements with their MAJCOM training office prior to

publication.

Chapter 2

QUALIFICATION TRAINING

2.1. Overview. This chapter outlines the minimum requirements for Basic Aircraft

Qualification (BAQ) which may be completed via initial qualification, requalification,

conversion, or difference training. Duties not directly related to qualification or requalification

training should be minimized.

2.1.1. Qualification training provides the training necessary to initially qualify crewmembers

in a basic crew position and flying duties without regard to the unit’s mission. Upon

completion of qualification training, the crewmember attains BAQ status. BAQ is a

prerequisite for Mission Qualification Training (MQT, outlined in Chapter 3).

2.2. General Requirements. The primary method of initial qualification for pilots is to attend

the Intermediate Tiltrotor Multi-Service Pilot Training System (MPTS) MV-22 qualification

course and complete CV-22 differences training. The primary method of Initial Qualification

for flight engineers is to attend the CV-22 Mission Flight Engineer initial qualification course.

The primary method of requalification training is the appropriate formal training course listed in

the ETCA. If no requalification course exists, conduct requalification using the initial

qualification course. Exception: Flight Surgeons (FS) and Direct Support Operators (DSO) are

universally qualified and do not require CV-22 specific qualification or requalification.

2.3. Training Prerequisites. Course prerequisites are IAW the appropriate formal course

syllabus listed in the ETCA and AFI 11-202, Vol. 1. The formal school syllibus of instruction

(SOI) designates the course prerequisite approval authority.

2.4. Ground Training Requirements. All crewmembers must complete ground training

requirements IAW Table 2.1, prior to the first flight. See Chapter 4, Table 4.2 for event

descriptions and applicable notes.

2.5. Flying Training Requirements. Satisfactorily completing the appropriate ETCA formal

course satifies the requirements of this section. Approved in-unit qualification training must be

accomplished IAW applicable formal school courseware and IAW AFI 11-202V1.

2.6. Basic Aircraft Qualification/Difference Training Requirements.

2.6.1. The MV-22 Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS)

evaluation administered at Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS) New River during initial

qualification suffices as the initial BAQ evaluation once differences training is completed.

As a minimum, differences training will cover USAF IRC differences, basic aircraft systems

differences, systems interface differences, and USAF procedures differences.

2.6.2. JVX Application and System Software (JASS), block cycle, and other differences

training will be coordinated by HQ AFSOC/A3T with supporting agencies.

Chapter 3

MISSION QUALIFICATION TRAINING (MQT)

3.1. Overview. This chapter establishes the minimum training requirements for completing

initial mission qualification and mission requalification. Upon completion of mission

qualification training, the crewmember will be assigned either Basic Mission Capable (BMC) or

Mission Ready (MR) status.

3.2. General Requirements. The primary method of mission qualification or requalification is

to complete the appropriate formal training course listed in the ETCA. Units may supplement

formal courseware to meet local requirements. Submit all SMT courseware change requests to

AFSOC/A3T prior to implementation.

3.2.1. Direct Support Operator Training. There is no formal training course for Direct

Support Operators (DSO), they will complete appropriate in-unit qualification/requalification

course utilizing HQ AFSOC/A3T approved syllabi and courseware.

3.3. MQT Prerequisites. Course prerequisites are IAW the appropriate formal course

syllabuslisted in the ETCAand AFI 11-202, Vol. 1. The formal school syllabus designates the

course prerequisite approval authority.

3.3.1. This does not preclude simultaneous basic qualification and mission qualification

training. Simultaneous/Concurrent Multiple-MDS qualification upgrades will not be

accomplished.

3.3.2. If there is not a separate mission requalification course, aircrew members requalifying

in the unit’s mission will comply with the initial mission qualification course prerequisites.

3.4. Ground Training Requirements. Complete all ground training in Table 3.1 prior to

certifying individuals as mission ready. Completion of training will establish due dates for

recurring ground training required in Chapter 4. Credit any training accomplished at a formal

school. Qualified mission ready crewmembers transferred from other units require only unit

specific mission ready training events or events which are due/overdue.

3.4.1. Academic Training. Complete all academic and ground training delineated in

applicable courseware.

3.4.2. Written Examinations. Formal school End of Course examinations or group stan/eval

or equivalent examinations for SMT satisfy this requirement.

3.5. Flying Training Requirements. Approved in-unit qualification training must be

accomplished IAW AFI 11-202, Vol. 1 and the guidance below:

3.5.1. Flying training lessons should be completed sequentially. If mission scheduling or

student progress dictates otherwise, changes to the in-unit training sequences may be

authorized by the unit operations officer or designated representative.

3.5.2. Training on operational missions must be conducted IAW AFI 11-202, Vol. 1 and AFI

TRAINING TABLES AND CONTINUATION TRAINING

4.1. General Requirements. The requirements in this section satisfy minimum flying and

related ground requirements established by HQ USAF to maintain currency upon completion of

qualification or requalification training. Individual proficiency may require a greater number of

events to be completed. Commanders will ensure aircrew members receive sufficient

continuation training to maintain individual proficiency.

4.1.1. Applicability. Unqualified crewmembers do not log continuation training

requirements until completion of qualification/requalification. Events completed on a

satisfactory qualification, mission qualification, requalification evaluation, or certification

event may be credited toward currency requirements.

4.2. Training Levels. The use of experienced based FTLs allows the squadron commander to

prioritize training resources. Aircrew members must meet the minimum criteria established in

Paragraphs 4.2.1. and Table 4.1. before assignment to the respective training level. When these

minima are met, awarding a training level is at the sole discretion of the squadron commander or

designated representative. Once a semiannual period begins, personnel will not be moved to a

level requiring fewer events until the next semiannual period. Note: The aircrew member’s

availability to fly should not be a factor in assigning training levels (TL).

24 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

4.2.2. Use of Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS). All flying units will

develop local procedures per AFI 11-202, Vol. 1, as supplemented, to ensure aircrew ground

and flying training is properly documented and updated. Each unit will provide a printed

copy of current ground and flying summaries to each individual prior to PCS. ARMS codes

are annotated in this chapter for reference only. ARMS will track all SERE Training for each

individual; including training not required for this MDS or Volume.

4.2.3. Block Training. Block training is the most efficient method of satisfying annual

ground training requirements and is the preferred method of accomplishment. Courses

should include all recurring ground training required to maintain readiness (except

physiological training and physical examinations) for aircrew members assigned or attached

to active duty units.

4.3. Prorated Training Requirements. See AFI 11-202, Vol. 1 as supplemented.

4.4. Recurrency and Requalification Training.

4.4.1. Loss of Currency. Aircrew members will receive training under the supervision of an

instructor when the requirements listed in Tables 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 are not met.

4.4.2. Loss of Basic Currency. Basic currency is considered those events from Table 4.3

and the Emergency Procedure Sortie requirement from Table 4.5 of this instruction. Aircrew

members lacking currency in basic qualification or instrument requirements will fly only in

training status and under the supervision of an instructor, until currency is regained. They

will not be used on operational missions until they have regained currency or qualification

per the requirements of the following paragraphs.

4.4.2.1. Crewmembers overdue/noncurrent for events up to 6 months will regain

currency by demonstrating proficiency in the overdue event to an instructor. Events

performed under the supervision of an instructor can be credited toward monthly,

quarterly, and semiannual currency requirements.

4.4.2.2. Crewmembers non-current over 6 months are unqualified in all events. If the

crewmember is unqualified less than 24 months, unit commander-directed requalification

training is required. Pilots, as a minimum, will complete the written instrument

examination, qualification open-book and closed-book examinations, and a

requalification flight evaluation. Other crewmembers, as a minimum, will complete open

and closed book examinations, and a requalification flight evaluation. Once requalified,

training currency events may be prorated per this publication. Previous instructors may

requalify directly to instructor status.

4.4.2.3. Crewmembers unqualified from 24 to 60 months must requalify per Chapter 2.

Requalification may be accomplished in-unit, with an approved waiver for formal school

attendance. Previous instructors may requalify directly to instructor provided their

training and evaluations include a review of instructor duties, procedures, and techniques.

4.4.2.4. Crewmembers unqualified for more than 60 months require all initial

qualification training requirements and prerequisites per Chapter 2, para 2.2., and

ETCA. Previous instructors may not qualify directly to instructor status under this

category.

AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011 25

4.4.3. Loss of Core/Special Mission and Instructor Certified Event Currency. Failure to

accomplish mission currency events within the frequency and volume limits specified in

Tables 4.4 and 4.5 results in a loss of currency for that event. Loss of currency in any core,

special mission, or instructor certified event item does not affect the individual's basic

aircraft qualification. Crewmembers non-current in a core, special mission, or instructor

certified event may perform crew duties and log currency on missions not involving the non-

current item for up to 6 months.

4.4.3.1. Crewmembers non-current in core, special mission, or instructor certified events

up to 6 months require performing those items under the supervision of an instructor in as

many repetitions as necessary to demonstrate proficiency in each delinquent event.

Events performed under the supervision of an instructor can be credited toward

applicable currency requirements.

4.4.3.2. Crewmembers noncurrent in any core event (see Attachment 2) over 6 months

are considered unqualified for all mission events (member is restricted from

accomplishing mission, instructor certified [except functional check flight (FCF)], and

special mission items unsupervised until requalification). If the crewmember is

unqualified less than 24 months, unit commander-directed requalification training is

required. Core requalification training as directed by the unit commander is required. A

requalification flight evaluation meeting initial mission qualification requirements will be

performed. Events accomplished during the requalification flight evaluation are

creditable toward continuation requirements. Previously mission-qualified instructors

may requalify directly to instructor status in those mission areas previously instructor

qualified, provided their training and evaluations include a review of instructor duties,

procedures, and techniques.

4.4.3.3. Crewmembers unqualified in any core event (see Attachment 2) from 24 to 60

months are considered unqualified and must requalify by meeting requirements of

Chapter 3. Requalification may be accomplished in-unit, with an approved waiver. Use

formal school courseware. Previously qualified instructors may requalify directly to

instructor status in those areas previously instructor qualified, provided their training and

evaluations include a review of instructor duties, procedures, and techniques.

4.4.3.4. Crewmembers unqualified in mission items for more than 60 months are

considered initial mission qualification candidates. Comply with all initial mission

qualification training requirements and prerequisites of Chapter 3 and ETCA. Previous

instructors in this category may not qualify directly to instructor status.

4.4.3.5. For special mission and instructor certified event qualifications, delinquency in

any special mission or instructor certification currency requirement does not preclude the

crewmember from being mission qualified. Non-currency in special mission items for

more than 6 months renders the individual unqualified for that special mission event. To

requalify in that special mission, the individual will complete all initial training and

evaluation requirements for that special mission. For instructor certified events,

certification is regained by showing proficiency in that event to an instructor. Previously

qualified instructors may requalify directly to instructor status in special mission or

instructor certified events, if unqualified for a period less than 60 months.

26 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

4.4.3.5.1. Shipboard Operations. Pilots require recertification if currency is

exceeded. Flight engineers, if non-current for 6 months or less, may regain currency

by demonstrating proficiency to an instructor. FEs noncurrent over 6 months require

recertification. For shipboard operations recurrency, cross-service IPs will be from

like-MDS (refer to AF/Navy Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)).

4.5. Ground Training Requirements.

4.5.1. General Information. Table 4.2 designates ground training requirements for all

aircrew members. Table notes specify which items are considered either grounding, result in

training status, or are required for mission ready status. Unit commanders may add

additional training items to meet specific unit requirements. Events are considered current

training. Combat Camera personnel need all OSF training events.

4.6. Flying Training.

4.6.1. Applicability. MR crewmembers will accomplish all of the applicable events as

required by Table 4.3, Table 4.4, and Table 4.5 Basic mission capable crewmembers will

accomplish 100% of their basic volume and basic/mission frequency requirements in Tables

4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 and 50% of the applicable mission ready volume requirements from Tables

4.4 and 4.5 MAJCOMs may publish tables via RAP Tasking Message (RTM) showing only

applicable Basic Mission Capable (BMC) requirements.

4.6.2. When to Credit Events. Training requirements may be completed on any sortie if the

requirements of this instruction are met. Profiles and compatible events may be credited on

the same flight.

4.6.2.1. When more than one event is required, a proportionate share should be

completed during the training period rather than finishing the total requirement on one

sortie. Commanders must ensure flying training accomplishments are spread as evenly as

possible over the training period, to ensure maximum aircrew proficiency.

4.6.2.2. NVG events may be counted toward other similar day and non-NVG currency

events, i.e., NVG sortie credits both night sortie and basic sortie requirements.

Exception: NVG shipboard operations events do not credit toward day shipboard events

per NATOPS directives.

4.6.2.3. Logging Flying Currency in Simulators. Pilots and Flight Engineers may log up

to 50 percent of authorized semi-annual volume requirementsin the simulator as

prescribed in Table 4.3 and 4.4 notes. If volume currency is an odd number individuals

will round down the number that can be logged in the simulator. For example: 3

transition sorties are required per semi-annual period for FTL C, only one transition sortie

may be logged per semi-annual period in the simulator.

4.6.2.3.1. Regaining Currency in a Simulator. Individuals require a qualified Air

Force instructor to regain currency in all items that may be logged in the simulator.

Note: Consecutive recurrency in the same event is not permitted in the simulator.

4.6.2.3.2. Simulator Crew Complement. Simulator crews will consist of the standard

crew complement for the type of mission being flown, minus the cabin FE.

Emergency procedures sortie requires an instructor pilot (active duty or contract)

either at the controls or running the instructor operator station.

4.6.2.3.3. When logging currency (volume or frequency) in the simulator, crews are

required to complete a full aircraft/systems run-up, a minimum of 1 hour of flight

time, a minimum of two different currency events, and aircraft/systems shutdown

operator/instructor.

4.6.3. Unqualified Crewmembers. Unqualified crewmembers will not log continuation

training requirements until completion of qualification/requalification. Events completed on

a satisfactory qualification, mission qualification, or requalification evaluation may be

credited toward currency requirements.

4.6.4. Flight Surgeon (FS) Continuation Training. FS will accomplish specified training

items IAW AFI 11-202, Vol. 1, and this instruction.

4.6.5. Medical Technician Training. Medical technicians are not designated aircrew per AFI

11-402. However, due to their frequent exposure to the risks associated with military flying,

they do have certain recurring requirements. See Table 4.2 for requirements.

Documentation will be maintained at the squadron to which they are attached for flying.

4.6.6. Combat Camera Training. Combat camera personnel assigned to aircrew billets are

designated aircrew. As such, they will complete currency requirements per this instruction.

There is no instructor or examiner designation in this crew position. Unit training will be

delivered by IFs or IPs, as appropriate. Combat camera personnel will be assigned ARMS

training profiles and log training accomplished on training accomplishment reports (flying)

and AF Form 1522 (ground), ARMS Additional training Accomplishment Report.

Documentation will be maintained at the squadron to which they are attached for flying.

4.6.7. Parajumper/Combat Rescue Officer Training. PJ/CRO training is located in AFI 16-

1202 Volume 1. PJ/CROs will be assigned ARMS training profiles

4.7. Multiple Qualifications.

4.7.1. Multiple aircraft-qualified crewmembers must complete 100 percent of the

requirements for qualification and continuation training. Basic qualification requirements

(Table 4.3) must be maintained in each aircraft (Exception: Basic qualification volume

requirements in Table 4.3 may be completed in either a CV-22, MV-22 or the simulator).

Example: A sortie and instrument approach must be completed every 45 days in each

aircraft qualified. Multiple aircraft-qualified individuals maintain mission ready status by

completing 50 percent of the mission requirements for each MDS aircraft in which qualified.

4.7.2. Procedures for approval of multiple qualifications are contained in AFI 11-202, Vol.

1, as supplemented and AFI 11-2CV22, Vol. 2.

4.7.3. DSOs are tasked to fly on all AFSOC aircraft and will maintain multiple qualifications

as required IAW AFI 11-202, Vol. 2, AFSOC Supplement. They will comply with each

MDS Vol 1 DSO semi-annual ground and flying training currency requirements for each

aircraft in which qualification is held. DSOs who fall under the Multiple Qualification

tables, regardless of which flying training level they are assigned or level of aircraft

qualification, will log a minimum of one Tactical Mission Sortie for each aircraft that they

hold qualification each semi-annual period. The Aircrew Proficiency Sortie may be logged

on any AFSOC aircraft in which qualification is held. For DSOs who maintain cross-MDS

qualification, the FTL requirements will be halved for each weapons system.

4.8. Basic Aircraft Qualification Event Definitions.

36 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

4.8.1. Basic Aircraft Qualification Continuation Training Events. The following are

definitions of required simulator and flying training events to maintain basic qualification in

are provided for AF Form 4109, SOF/CSAR Aircrew Training Record, AF Form 4110,

Comments-SOF/CSAR Training Record, and AF Form 4111, SOF/CSAR Training. MAJCOM

approved substitutes may be utilized in lieu of these forms. Approved products will be posted on

the MAJCOM training office website.

6.1.1. When formal school syllabi and/or courseware are available (either AETC or other

MAJCOM FTU), this material will be used for training. MAJCOM-approved substitutes to

these products may be authorized on a case-by-case basis. When formal products are not

available, a MAJCOM-approved substitute consisting of the AF Form 41XX series of forms

(4109/4110/4111) will be utilized. All approved syllabi and courseware will be posted on the

MAJCOM training office website.

6.2. Career Training Folder (AFSOC only). Units will maintain a career training folder for

all assigned or attached crewmembers. All completed training records will be included in a

single binder of appropriate size to provide an accurate representation of an individual’s long

term progression and any positive or negative trends related to their training.

6.2.1. The name of the crewmember will be clearly posted on both the binder spine and front

cover. The front cover must also prominently display the following statement: ―PRIVACY

ACT INFORMATION – The information accessed through this system is FOR OFFICIAL

USE ONLY and must be protected in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and AFI 33-

332.‖ Each training record within the binder will be tabbed separately to differentiate

between programs. The binder will be divided into sections as follows:

6.2.1.1. Section 1 – Table of Contents. This should clearly list each item contained

within the binder and the tab where it is located. It should be kept as current and accurate

as possible and clearly display the date of the last update.

6.2.1.2. Section 2 – Record of Review. The training section will review the career

training folder for accuracy and completeness annually. Annotate the date of review as

well as the name and office symbol of the reviewing official. Include any comments or

discrepancies noted. If an expanded explanation is necessary, use an MFR signed by the

unit training officer. File these documents behind the record of annual review in

chronological order with the most recent on the bottom. No annual review is required for

crewmembers in inactive/non-flying positions. Annotate the timeframe during which the

individual was in non-flying status in appropriate chronological space in the record of

annual review (i.e., May 2002-Jun 2005 Inactive/AFSOC Staff).

6.2.1.3. Section 3 – Completed Training Records. This section will ideally contain all

flight training records (qualifications, certifications, specialized mission training, etc.),

whether they are completed in-unit or at the FTU. The records will be in chronological

order starting with initial qualification and ending with the most recently completed

training on the bottom. Each training record within the folder will be tabbed separately to

differentiate between programs. The tabs will be numbered in order with the member’s

initial qualification (whether completed at the FTU or in-unit) labeled Tab #1.

48 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

6.2.2. Career training folders are covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 and shall be used for

official business only. Maintain folders in a secure area within the unit’s training section.

Only instructors and supervisors should have regular access to these records. Individuals

may sign out their own records.

6.2.3. When a crewmember makes a PCS move, the squadron training section will copy the

table of contents and record of annual review as a minimum. The unit shall seal the career

training folder in an envelope along with the individual’s FEF and give it to the member for

delivery to the next duty station.

6.2.3.1. Crewmembers PCS to an active flying assignment. The losing unit squadron

training section will keep these documents for 6 months from the date the individual

departs home station, in the event records are lost or destroyed en route.

6.2.3.2. Crewmembers PCS to an in-active flying assignment, separating, or retiring.

The losing unit squadron training section shall keep these copies until the member arrives

at his next flying assignment or 5 years (whichever is less).

6.3. Entry into Upgrade. Initiate a training folder (AF Form 4109) for ETCA formal training

courses (formal school or in-unit), mission certification, special qualification, certification

training, in-unit upgrade program to the next higher crew qualification, requalification training

(formal school or in-unit), and all corrective action or additional training. Each training folder

must include documentation of entry into the training program by the unit leadership. This will

normally consist of an entry on the first AF Form 4110 in the trainee’s record. Units may also

substitute a copy of the minutes from an upgrade board, MFR, or other locally produced form in

place of the AF Form 4110 entry. This document must be signed by the unit operations officer

or commander.

6.4. AF Form 4109. These forms are the cardstock folder used to hold all required training

documents. They are available from the pubs distribution office or by establishing an account on

the AF e-publishing homepage. It is mandatory for all basic/mission qualification training and

any special mission qualification training (leading to either a special mission evaluation or

instructor certification). Some locally developed SOIs/courseware may be approved by

MAJCOM training office for implementation without the AF Form 4109, on a case-by-case

basis. An AF Form 4109 is also required for corrective action as a result of an evaluation (other

than end-of-course evaluations). This requirement may be waived by the unit operations officer

if corrective action is limited and would not warrant the initiation of a training folder. The flight

examiner who directed the additional training will annotate training deficiencies on the

AF Form 4110. "Active" AF Form 4109 records will be maintained in a location readily

accessible to instructors/trainers, supervisory personnel, and the individual aircrew member.

Comply with the following instructions when completing the AF Form 4109.

6.4.1. Ground Training Summary (top inside left). This is a chronological record of ground

6.4.6.2. Additional Codes. Use these codes on preprinted AF Form 4111, as indicated.

6.4.6.3. Training Period Designators. Use the following codes to describe flight training

periods: T-Transition, I-Instrument, M-Mission, EV-Evaluation, N-Night, or as dictated

by SOI. FTUs may use more descriptive designators, if required.

6.4.6.4. Remarks. This section may be used for additional information at unit discretion.

Otherwise, it should be left blank.

6.5. AF Form 4110. These forms are used to record a narrative of student performance during

all flying and ground training sessions and administrative comments related to student training.

They are available on the AF e-publishing homepage or via the link on the HQ AFSOC/A3T

webpage. One of these two forms is required for all formal training completed at the FTU or in-

unit. If using MAJCOM approved courseware, utilize the AF Form 4110. This form shall be

maintained on the left side of the AF Form 4109. Comply with the following instructions when

completing the AF Form 4110.

6.5.1. Name or Trainee Name. Self-explanatory.

6.5.2. Date. Self-explanatory.

6.5.3. Training Period or Sortie ID. Enter the appropriate training period designator,

AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011 51

6.5.4. Mission/Profile/Comments/Recommendations or Profile (strengths, weaknesses, and

recommendation). This section shall include a write-up for each flying training event

(simulator or aircraft) the student participates in. Write-ups may be included for ground

training at unit discretion. It will also contain any additional information pertinent to the

individual’s training (i.e. recommendations for proficiency advance, monthly/quarterly

reviews, etc). Write-ups for student flying training events should comply with the following

format:

6.5.4.1. Profile. This section should start by listing the sortie or event completed and the

grade earned; or indicate why the sortie was incomplete, if it was not finished for any

reason, and what items yet remain to complete it. A brief description of weather and

other related factors (i.e., EMI levels for an NVG sortie or sea state for a water ops sortie)

should be the next item. The rest of the section should be a brief summary of training

completed, to include specific events and number of iterations where relevant. It should

be written so that the next instructor has no doubts where to pick up the training.

Detailed comments will be entered whenever the performance level attained is below the

printed RPL.

6.5.4.2. Strengths. This section should be a brief summary of the student’s strengths.

Make every effort to identify useable, relevant strengths to further build a picture of

student progression for the next instructor. There should always be some strength or

strengths to emphasize but if the sortie does not lend itself to identifying any or none are

honestly noted, state ―none noted.‖ If no strengths are noted, strong consideration should

be given to awarding the student an ―unsatisfactory‖ for the training period.

6.5.4.3. Weaknesses. This section should be a brief summary of the student’s

weaknesses. It should, again, contribute to the next instructor’s ability to understand the

proficiency level the student has attained. It should also give the student areas in which

to strive for improvement. An honest assessment is critical but avoid being overly harsh

or judgmental. There should always be some weakness or weaknesses to emphasize but

if the sortie does not lend itself to identifying any or none are honestly noted, state ―none

noted.‖ If no weaknesses are noted, strong consideration should be given to awarding the

student an ―excellent‖ for the training period.

6.5.4.4. Recommendations. This section is written primarily for the next instructor but

should also include recommendations for the student where applicable. List items the

next trainer should emphasize or other suggestions to maximize the student’s next

training event. Enter the next recommended step for the student (i.e., continue with

training, proceed to evaluation, proficiency advance, etc).

6.5.4.5. The individual making the entry will sign after each write-up, and print his/her

name and crew/supervisory position. The student will initial next to the trainer’s

signature. This only indicates that he/she has read and understands the entry. It does not

necessarily indicate agreement/concurrence.

6.6. AF Form 4111. This form is used to document required maneuver information file (MIF)

items and required proficiency level (RPL). Typically, this will be a pre-printed form provided

by the FTU. Locally developed overprints may be used when formal courseware is not

available. These must be approved by MAJCOM training office prior to use and will be posted

52 AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011

on the MAJCOM training office website. Comply with the following instructions when

completing the AF Form 4111.

6.6.1. Name. Self explanatory.

6.6.2. Crew Position. For aircrew members in a program designed to advance them to a

higher crew position, enter the qualification to which they are upgrading. For all other

training, enter the crew position currently held.

6.6.3. Course/Phase. Enter formal course title if one exists or enter a descriptive identifier

for other types of training (i.e., HH60G-MP-UQ, ELMO Certification, Sling Load

Certification, etc).

6.6.4. Programmed Training Profile. This line should contain the sortie identifiers for each

training event and the syllabus-directed training time.

6.6.5. Actual Training Profile. The instructor should fill in the actual training time the

student received.

6.6.6. ID. Leave blank.

6.6.7. Task/Topic Listing. List each MIF item number from the syllabus (if applicable) and

a description of the task required (i.e., Safety/Judgment, Lead/Wing Responsibilities, etc.) on

a separate line.

6.6.8. Min Event. List the minimum number of events to be completed (if applicable) before

training can be considered complete.

6.6.9. GR (grade)/PK (performance knowledge). List the grade or RPL to be attained on that

sortie. On a preprinted form, the instructor should slash through the item if the RPL is met.

If the RPL is not met or is exceeded, the actual RPL attained should be written over the

preprinted number/letter. Standards for awarding grades should be IAW procedures listed on

the back cover of the AF Form 4109.

6.6.10. Req Prof Level. This is the final RPL the student must attain prior to being

recommended for evaluation. One RPL should be listed for each MIF item or training event.

6.7. Periodic Reviews. All open training records shall be reviewed monthly by the unit training

section and quarterly by the operations officer. This review shall be documented in the AF Form

4110 and signed by the unit training representative or the operations officer, respectively. In

those months where a quarterly review is completed, the monthly review is not required.

6.7.1. The monthly review should ensure all training is correctly documented and instructor

write-ups adequately document student performance. If errors are discovered, take

immediate action to correct them or document reasons the errors could not be corrected (i.e.,

instructor not available for signature). It should also ensure the trainee is progressing in a

satisfactory manner, identify any significant problems encountered, and recommend any

adjustments to training.

6.7.1.1. Review the time elapsed between training flights. If an excessive amount of

time has elapsed between training rides, an extra training sortie (X-ride) should either be

awarded and flown or the training section should document the reasons this additional

training is not required at this time (N/A ANG/AFRC).

AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011 53

6.7.2. The quarterly review should consist of a cursory look at a sampling of training

documentation and other administrative items. The focus of this review should be primarily

on trainee progression. The operations officer should take this time to ensure students are

performing up to standards and the training program is meeting his goals or vision for the

unit. Any relevant findings or recommendations should be documented at this time.

6.8. Instructions for Closing Out Training Records. Whether a training program is

successfully completed or terminated for other reasons (failure to progress, extended DNIF, etc),

the training record must be closed out. This is accomplished by a final entry in the trainee’s last

AF IMT 4110. This entry must be signed by both the unit training officer and the unit ops

officer.

6.8.1. For successful completion of training, the entry should indicate that all training has

been satisfactorily completed, the new qualification or certification is awarded, and all

records have been updated (to include the 4348 or 1381, letter of Xs, FEF, and ARMS

database as required). It should also include any restrictions (if applicable).

6.8.2. For termination of training (for cause or unrelated factors), the entry should indicate

the reasons for termination of the upgrade and plans to re-enter the trainee into the program

again at a later date (if any).

6.9. Instructions for Documenting Aircrew Qualifications/Certifications. Units must

accurately track all qualifications and certifications for each crewmember. This is best

accomplished through a combination of the AF Form 4348 or AF Form 1381 and a locally

generated letter of Xs (or equivalent).

6.9.1. AF Form 4348 or AF Form 1381. The 4348 or 1381 shall be maintained in the

member’s flight evaluation folder IAW AFI 11-202, Vol. 2, and AFI 11-2MDS, Vol. 2.

Events requiring documentation on the AF Form 4348 or AF Form 1381 are listed in chapter

five of this instruction.

6.9.2. Letter of Xs. A letter of Xs (or equivalent document) shall be maintained by each

unit. This document is the commander’s tool to track specialized training (i.e., locally

required certifications for new equipment or procedures) and other desired information.

Specific procedures and format will be determined locally, but it must contain the following

minimum information: crewmember name, highest qualification currently held, and

specialized training not documented elsewhere. Other information may be included at the

discretion of the unit commander. Units will forward a current copy of the letter of Xs to HQ

AFSOC/A3TR monthly.

6.9.3. AF Form4324. This form is the source document used to update aircrew certification,

assign training profiles, and formal flying training dates in ARMS. The squadron Stan/Eval

or training office will complete this form and submit to SARM personnel to assign training

profiles when a new crewmember inprocesses to the unit. Complete a new form when

training profiles are added, aircrew certification codes change, and when formal school

courses are completed.

Terms

Aerial Refueling (AR)—For the purposes of this instruction, airborne fuel off-load, either

simulated or actual, from a tactical or strategic tanker aircraft to a tiltrotor.

Basic Aircraft Qualification—An aircrew member who has satisfactorily completed training

prescribed to maintain the skills necessary to perform basic aircrew duties in unit aircraft. As

defined, this aircrew member maintains all basic qualification currency.

Basic Mission Capable—An aircrew member, who has satisfactorily completed mission

qualification training, does not maintain mission ready/combat mission ready status, but

maintains familiarization in the command or unit operational mission. As defined, this aircrew

member maintains 100 percent of all basic qualification currency events, but only 50 percent of

mission qualification events. BMC aircrew will be capable of achieving MR/CMR by beginning

to maintain 100 percent of mission qualification currency. Unit commanders may dictate

additional training as required.

Combat Mission Ready (CMR)—An aircrew member who has satisfactorily completed

mission qualification training and maintains qualification and proficiency in the command or unit

combat mission.

Core Mission Events—A crewmember must be qualified in all core mission events to be

considered Mission Ready (MR) or Basic Mission Capable (BMC). Loss of qualification (non-

current greater than 6 months) in any core mission event results in loss of overall mission

qualification.

Core Mission Qualification Training—Mission training required to be mission ready or

mission capable by AFSOC standards.

Cross Flow—An aircrew member with previous US military pilot experience.

Currency—For the purposes of this instruction, currency will refer to frequency volume as used

by ARMS. This is used for events that are required with a specified number of days instead of a

monthly, quarterly, or semiannual period.

Deck Landing Qualifications—Landings performed on board ships for the purpose of

qualifying pilots and aircrew members for shipboard operations.

Deck landing Qualification Instructor Pilot (IP), Unit Trainer (UT), or Pilot- in-Command

(PC)—Joint terminology referring to MP, IP, or EP qualified and current in deck landings and

designated in writing by the unit commander for such purposes.

Direct Support Operator (DSO)—An AFSOC aircrew position responsible for providing threat

warning and enhanced situational awareness to SOF missions utilizing intelligence data and

expertise in the area of operations.

Eligibility Period—The 6-month period prior to the due date of an evaluation or required event.

Event—A training item to be accomplished. Multiple events may be completed and logged

during a single sortie.

Expendables—The firing of flares or chaff from aircraft while in-flight.

Field Deck Landing—Practice shipboard landings performed at a shore facility with markings

representative of a shipboard landing facility.

AFI11-2CV-22V1 27 JANUARY 2011 63

Formal School Courseware—Training materials and programs developed for training aircrew

members at formal schools. It includes all student study guides, workbooks, computer-based

training lessons, instructor guides, and applicable training records forms related to the specific

course.

Forward Area Refueling Point (FARP)—Refueling and rearming normally conducted at night

in an austere environment with engines running. Refueling can be accomplished from a variety

of fuel sources: MC-130, pre-positioned fuel stores, another tiltrotor, fuel truck, etc.

Hot Refueling—Fuel on load from any fuel source with one or more aircraft engines operating.

FARP operations are considered hot refueling.

Instructor Certified Event Training—Training given to an aircrew member to certify the

student's attainment of the required proficiency and knowledge levels as specified in training

course syllabi. This training must be accomplished prior to performing unsupervised crew duties

in that event. An evaluation is not normally given for this certification. Instructor certified

events will be documented on the AF Form 4348 or AF Form 1381.

Mission Design Series (MDS)—The official designation for aerospace vehicles used to

represent a specific category of aerospace vehicles for operations, support, and documentation

purposes.

Mission Essential Task Listing (METL)—A complete list of mission essential tasks (MET) for

any organization.

Mission Experience—For the purposes of this regulation, "experience" is defined as being

mission ready for one year in an AFSOC tactical qualified unit.

Mission Profile—A mission designed to penetrate and operate within a combat or threat

environment. The specific profile will be predicated on the type and level of threat.

Mission Qualified—An aircrew member who has successfully completed mission qualification

training and flight evaluation.

Mission Ready—An aircrew member who has satisfactorily completed mission qualification

training and maintains qualification and proficiency in the command or unit operational mission.

As defined, this aircrew member is maintaining all of the applicable mission qualification

currency requirements of this instruction.

Multi-Spot Ship—Those certified ships having two or more adjacent landing areas (IAW JSHIP

MOU).

Primary Aircraft Authorization (PAA)—Aircraft authorized for performance of the unit’s

mission (e.g., Combat, Combat Support, Training, Test and Evaluation, etc.). The PAA forms the

basis for the allocation of operating resources, to include manpower, support equipment, and

flying hour funds. The operating command determines the PAA required to meet their assigned

missions.

Primary Aircraft Authorization (PAA) time—This term also implies, for the purposes of this

instruction AFI 11-2CV-22Vol1, to the particular MDS aircraft assigned to an individual's flying

unit. PAA time refers to hours flown in unit assigned MDS aircraft (e.g., CV-22). PAA hours

are used to establish minimum flying hour requirements for upgrade to aircraft commander,

instructor, and flight examiner. PAA time includes all categories of flight time logged with the

exception of ―other‖ and ―student‖ time.

Required Proficiency Level (RPL)—The level at which a student must perform at a particular

phase of training. Use grading standards and definitions per Attachment 3 and AF Form 4111.

Single-Spot Ship—Those certified ships having one landing area (IAW JSHIP MOU).

Special Mission Qualification Training—Training given in a specific mission area/task that

requires a flight evaluation in that mission area or task. This training is not required to be

mission ready/combat mission ready or basic mission capable.

Total Flying Time—Total time for all aircraft flown in military service to include student time.

Total Flying Time accumulated for upgrade purposes must be in the aircrew member's current

crew position. (i.e., pilot, flight engineer).

Training Status—A status in which all of a crewmember's flying training is done under the

supervision of an instructor in the crewmember’s respective crew position.

Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS)—This event is an instructor certified event

accomplished by conducting AIE activities to any area of a surface vessel, other than the flight

deck. Refer to appropriate JSOC SOP for further details.

Volume—For purposes of this instruction, volume will be command volume as used by ARMS.

This is a numeric requirement for each event as specified in this instruction. It is broken down

into time periods: monthly, quarterly, and semiannual requirements.
