Lesson plans emphasize aircraft systems, emergency procedures and Crew/Cockpit Resource Management (CRM). 1.5.9.7. Simulator training includes suitable crew compliment for the events to be logged and mirror a normal training sortie (e.g. 5 minutes in the simulator prepositioned to a 5 mile final to log a single ILS and landing is NOT suitable). 1.5.9.8. Failure to complete simulator refresher training in the prescribed period is not grounding. However, training offices should schedule training as soon as possible for the individual. 1.5.10. Instructor Requirements. 1.5.10.1. In order to conduct training, an instructor must be current and qualified in the MD, crew position, and task (i.e. Phase I or Phase II event) and while in flight, in a position to correct or override the student if an action performed is inappropriate. (T-2) The following exceptions apply: 1.5.10.1.1. For ground training, crew positions that have common systems may be instructed by unlike crew positions (e.g. Weapon System Operators (WSO) instructing pilots or pilots instructing WSOs), if the tasks are similar in nature. Para 7.1 and MD attachments may provide additional authorizations. 10 AFMAN11-2FTV1_EDWARDSAFBSUP 25 AUGUST 2020 1.5.10.1.2. Any rated or Career Enlisted Aviator (CEA) instructor may instruct NRA Phase I and II training. Instructor qualified NRA may only administer NRA Phase II training 1.5.10.2. (Added-EDWARDSAFB) Instructor Academic Credit: An individual who instructs a class receives credit for that academic training requirement (e.g., IRC, CRM, Systems Refresher Training, etc.). 1.5.11. Test Aircraft Limited Availability. If adequate flight currency and proficiency cannot be maintained in the test aircraft (e.g. prototype aircraft), then aircrew may maintain currency and proficiency in an AFMC operational aircraft similar in flight characteristics and handling qualities to the test aircraft. Flying proficiency events accomplished in the test aircraft may be credited toward total training requirements. 1.6. ARMS. Flying units use USAF event identifiers followed by AFMC event identifiers located on the AFMC/A3V SharePoint to manage recurring training. (T-3) 1.7. COOL. Manage AFMC training and currencies using COOL with source documentation being pulled from ARMS to the maximum extent possible. (T-3) 1.8. Flight on AFMC Aircraft.

TRAINING PHASE III – CONTINUATION / PROFICIENCY TRAINING. 4.1. General. Follow the guidance outlined in this instruction when qualified in AFMC aircraft. (T-2) Additionally, para 1.8 references a consolidated summary of flying status requirements. 4.1.1. Aircrew maintain currency and proficiency defined in Section 7 and MD attachments. 4.1.2. Unit CCs determine which aircrew maintain specific qualifications/certifications. Currency/proficiency requirements only apply to aircrew trained in the event. 4.1.2.1. (Added-EDWARDSAFB) Aircraft Specific Training: Flying unit commanders may specify additional currencies or training requirements. 4.1.3. Aircrew may not log currency/proficiency until qualified and certified (if applicable). Exception: Events accomplished on a Form 8 evaluation or final sortie leading to certification. 4.1.4. Currency/proficiency requirements are established based on the date of successful completion of the final Phase I or II training event or Form 8 evaluation, whichever is later. 4.1.5. Proficiency requirements are defined in Section 7, accomplished semi-annually (1 Oct-31 Mar and 1 Apr-30 Sep) and should be accomplished uniformly throughout the training period. 4.1.6. (Added-EDWARDSAFB) Continuation Training Credit: Aircrew that fly AFMC equivalent aircraft in different capacities outside of the 412 TW (ie. NASA, contractor/civilian, reservist/civilian) may credit continuation training requirements accumulated towards AFMAN 11-2FTV1 requirements provided the aircraft are the same (as determined by the Sq/CC) and the events are comparable. 4.2. Multi-Qualification. 4.2.1. Individuals complete currency requirements (Table 3) in every MD qualified. (T- 3) 4.2.2. Total basic proficiency flying event requirements cannot be less than the qualification requiring the most repetitions. (T-2) 4.2.3. Perform at least 50% of proficiency volume flying requirements (Table 3) in each MD the individual is qualified. (T-2) 4.2.4. Instrument approaches accomplished in manned aircraft update currencies in manned and unmanned aircraft. Instrument approaches accomplished in unmanned aircraft, only update currencies in other unmanned aircraft. (T-2) 4.3. Proration of Training. Unit training offices may prorate an aircrew member’s proficiency requirements based on the cumulative total of non-available training days. Aircrew are considered non-available for training if they are absent for more than 15 consecutive days because of one or a combination of the following: PCS, non-flying TDY, Duty Not Involving Flying (DNIF), or convalescent/emergency leave. AFMAN11-2FTV1_EDWARDSAFBSUP 25 AUGUST 2020 19 4.3.1. Upon initial qualification/certification, prorate training based on the first day of the month after the qualification flight evaluation or the date the certification was obtained. 4.3.2. Units may prorate training for inbound PCS personnel coming from commands with different semi-annual training periods. 4.3.3. Prorated proficiency volumes are calculated using the following equation, rounded to the nearest whole number but not less than 1: Figure 1. Prorated Proficiency Volumes. 4.4. Loss of Currency. 4.4.1. Non-current. An individual is non-current after they fail to accomplish the required event in the specified time period (e.g. a pilot is non-current for landings beyond 45 days from their last landing). 4.4.2. Unqualified in aircraft. Individuals are unqualified on the MD if any Phase I qualification event currency defined in Section 7 is not regained within 6 months (to the day) of going non-current (interpreted in Section 7 as “Regaining Currency” codes A and C). 4.4.3. Loss of certification currency. Unit CCs determine how aircrew non-current for certification events will regain currency (interpreted on Section 7 as “Regaining Currency” codes B and D). Depending on the individual circumstances, examples can range from flight with an instructor to demonstrate proficiency to completion of a full training plan. Figure 2. (Added-EDWARDSAFB) Basic Event Currency Requirements. 4.5. Regaining Currency. 4.5.1. Section 7 defines implications of going non-current and the method to regain currency via codes in the “Regaining Currency” column. 4.5.1.1. For non-grounding currency items not defined in Section 7 (e.g. LL06-AFE Training) no additional supervisory requirements are mandated during the period of non-currency. 4.5.1.2. Pilots non-current for IRC may only fly day VMC or with an instructor in an aircraft with a dual set of controls. IRC non-current navigators (including CSO, WSO) must fly with an instructor navigator or instructor pilot. (T-3) 20 AFMAN11-2FTV1_EDWARDSAFBSUP 25 AUGUST 2020 4.5.2. If all qualified instructors have lost currency in a mission event, the Unit CC should request support of a current instructor from another AFMC or MAJCOM unit. In the absence of such support, submit a training plan to AFMC/A3V for approval allowing select instructors to regain currency without supervision. 4.6. Regaining Qualification/Certification. Reference AFI 11-202V1 guidance for requalification/recertification training. 4.7. Loss of Proficiency and EOH Reporting. 4.7.1. At the conclusion of each semi-annual training period, unit training offices create an EOH Report for the Unit CC and OG/CC documenting aircrew who failed to meet proficiency requirements. 4.7.2. Unit CCs review the EOH Report and each individual’s reasons for failing to complete proficiency requirements and assign corrective action if appropriate. Corrective action may range from no action to aircraft or mission requalification/certification. 4.7.3. Phase I event corrective actions must be certified complete prior to flying any sortie unsupervised. (T-3) Phase II event corrective actions must be certified complete prior to flying unsupervised in that mission event. (T-3) 4.7.4. Non-proficient aircrew for A and C coded events may fly under the supervision of an instructor prior to the Unit CC assigning corrective actions. For B and D coded events, non-proficient aircrew may fly unsupervised if the sortie does not involve the delinquent mission element. Reference section 7. 4.7.5. Unit Training Offices maintain a copy of the EOH Report as a minimum through the end of the next half to identify aircrew trends. 4.7.6. Unit Training Offices ensure the EOH Report, with assigned corrective actions, is provided to the OG/CC for review. 5. UPGRADE TRAINING. 5.1. General. Phase I training guidance applies. 5.1.1. Flying Time for Upgrade. 5.1.1.1. RPA/UAS time does not count toward flying hours for non-RPA/UAS aircraft.

TRAINING DOCUMENTATION. AFMC flying units use COOL training forms and overprints. 8.1. Training Folders. The training folder is used to organize, track and document completed training whether via AOQ, formal course documentation or completed training plans. 8.1.1. Training folders are required for all aircrew performing aircraft duties inflight. For aircrew qualified on multiple aircraft, maintain a separate folder to document each aircraft. 8.1.1.1. (Added-EDWARDSAFB) Multiple Qualification: The unit to which the crewmember is assigned will notify 412 OSS/OSOR if an aircrew member's primary aircraft has been changed. 8.1.2. Access to electronic training folders is restricted via COOL permissions, but is readily accessible to the individual, instructors, and supervisory personnel. 8.1.3. Instructors and trainees review training folders for each specific training session. Upon completion of the session, the instructor promptly documents training in the folder. 8.1.4. File completed training plans as sets ordered: Form 67 (top), Form 68, Form 69 (bottom) with the most recent of each form on top. 8.1.5. Unit training managers may file completed training folders in an inactive status. 8.1.6. When an individual changes units, the training office forwards the training folder to the gaining unit. If an individual separates/retires or is assigned to a non-flying position, the unit gives the training folder to the individual. 8.1.7. Organize training folders into the following 5 sections with the title displaying: trainee name, grade, aircraft and crew position, and the inside cover containing a current AF Form 1381. 8.1.7.1. Phase I-Basic Aircraft Qualification – Include all training documents including: IQT, requalification, conversion, difference and formal course training. 8.1.7.2. Phase II-Mission Certification – Include ground and flying training documentation for mission certifications. 8.1.7.2.1. When completing concurrent training plans the instructor is only required to complete one AFMC Form 69. Place a copy of the original Form 69 or a Form 69 referencing the “primary” Form with each ongoing training plan. 8.1.7.3. AC/IP/EP Qualification/Certification - Include ground and flight upgrade training documentation. 8.1.7.4. Other - Any training documentation not included in the other sections. 50 AFMAN11-2FTV1_EDWARDSAFBSUP 25 AUGUST 2020 8.1.7.5. Training/MFR Documentation - Include all training correspondence including EIT letters, commander approvals/authorization, waiver approvals, email coordination, AOQ, mission and/or upgrade qualifications/certifications and MFRs. Note: MFRs and associated attachments may be kept in training folder sections to which they apply in order to clarify and document qualifications/certifications. 8.2. Training Plans. 8.2.1. The only authorized AFMC training plans are those located on COOL including the AFMC Forms 67, 68, and 69. 8.2.2. Training plans may be updated in-between annual reviews. To ensure use of the most current guidance, the training office should download the current training syllabus prior to initiating training. 8.2.3. If a unit is unable to use COOL, coordinate AFMC/A3V approval of an alternative method via an AFMC Form 73. 8.3. Training Forms. 8.3.1. Completion date is the latest date of certifica
