Wh ever completes the “Scheduled” column must sign in the space provided for scheduler’s signature. wr
SACR 61-13 22 June 1981 13 (2) The column for scheduled activity is to be used for scheduling the number of times/hours that a training item is to be demonstrated or accomplished. The column under “Accomplished” is used in the same manner in denoting number-of times/hours the training item was accomplished. The “Grade” column is used to denote grades for train- ing accomplished. Proficiency for required training items will be noted in the “Remarks” section of TAPR. (3) The “Accomplished/Grade” columns are completed after flight. Remarks are required for any deviation from scheduled activity. The IP and pilot must sign the completed TAPR. These entries will be completed with a ac: ead pencil. (4) Remarks are mandatory. Instructor's comments should enable the miasion review panel members to identify additional training required to ensure continuity of training. (5) Responsibility for proper training entries and other documentation rests with the IP and training monitor. Active training folders will be maintained within the training squadron. (6) Units will establish procedures for scheduling, documenting, reviewing and filing TAPRs. (7) After review, and when computerized TAPRs are used, the information will be processed into SACARMS by the Operations Systems Management Branch and then filed in individual training folders. b. A CMAR is used to document all continuation training flight activity. (1) “Scheduled” colums of CMARa are completed and signed by the wing Mission Development Branch. (2) “Accomplished” columne will be completed by each pilot after flight completion. The “Remarks” section will contain adequate explanation for deviation from scheduled activity/flying time. After flight entries will be made in black lead pencil only. The pilot must sign the CMAR. (3) All CMARs will be reviewed by the mission review panel to validate information and ite correct entry. Changes may be made by the panel based on best known information. After a CMAR is validated, it will be entered into SACARMS and filed IAW SACR 50-370. Once CMARs are validated by the panel, they should not be changed. If necessary to change validated CMAR data, use SAC Form 250, SACARMS Files Maintenance Data, to make adjust- ments.

SACR 51-13 22 June 1981 41 CHAPTER 4 Loy, CONTINUATION TRAINING (Phase III) 4-1. SCOPE: a. General, The continuation training program is designed to provide training necessary to maintain a level of proficiency and currency that will enable pilots to carry out their assigned duties and mission. This chapter provides guidance and specifies the training and currency for pilots maintaining qualification in the U-2/TR-1 aircraft. b. Objectives. The objectives of this chapter are to: (1) Ensure unita and pilots maintain the proficiency required to safely operate the aircraft and effectively perform assigned missions. (2) Establish training and minimum sortie requirements to be accomplished by each pilot during a six month training period. (3) Prescribe the procedures by which pilots delinquent in training requirements may regain currency. 4-2. CONCEPT OF TRAINING: a. General. The continuation training program is based upon a required number and frequency of training events. The training program consists of command and unit directed requirements. The Wing Directed Events are established, as required. ; b. Command Directed Training, Individual Requirements. Command Directed Events (CDE) are minimum requirements. These requirements are specific type activities for individual pilots and must be accomplished in order to maintain unit mission proficiency. Units must schedule sufficient sorties/activities to ensure all individual requirements are accomplished. The Wing Directed Training Program will be used as necessary to provide additional training. ec. Wing Directed Training. This program provides additional activity required to train for specialized procedures/tactics and compensate for individual differences or deficiencies. The Wing may require specific recurring events for all pilots. . d. Responsibilities: (1) Unit commanders will ensure pilots receive training neceasary to maintain the desired level of proficiency. (2) Units will report training accomplishments in SACARMS. Reporting instructions are contained in SACR 50- 370. Overseas units without this capability will track requirements manually and forward accomplishments to the 9SRW monthly for entry into SACARMS. . fol (3) Designation of Mission Ready Pilots. Crew categories and numbering procedures for U-2/TR-1 pilots are as ‘ollows: (a) Select Crew. Pilots designated select by unit commander because they have a superior ability to perform the . unit’s mission. Commanders must be highly critical in designating select crews. Select crew status will normally be limited to standardization pilots and will not exceed 35% of assigned pilots. The prefix “S” is used to designate select status. (6) Senior Crew. A pilot who possesses a high degree of experience and demonstrates a high level of professionalism and proficiency in performance of the unit’s mission. The prefix “E” is used to designate senior status. : , (c) Ready Crew. A pilot qualified to perform the unit mission. The prefix “R” is used to designate mission ready status. (d) Nonmission Ready. A pilot that dees not meet requirements for mission ready status. The prefix “N” is used to designate nonmission ready atatus. ; (e) Staff. A pilot assigned to a staff position and maintaining basic proficiency in the U-2/TR-1. (4) Individual Availability: Individual pilots are not available for training under the following conditions: (a) Forty-five days prior to DOS, retirement or start of terminal leave. (b) Forty-five days prior to PCS to different weapons system. (c) During period of downgrade status. . . (d) Days TDY, NFDS or on leave (Leave periods of leas than 7 consecutive days will not be computed). _ 5) Training Availability. Individual CDEs are determined by the number of days available. Unit DOT will compute availability for each pilot. When the cumulative total of days nonavailable changes the pilots months available IAW following chart, pilot CDEs will be reduced accordingly. Individual CDEs will be adjusted as soon as nonavailability period is scheduled. Units must consider future programmed periods of nonavailability for pilots when programming CDE completion rates. If programmed periods are subsequently cancelled, availability must be juated. ; .

The unit commander may declare a pilot NMR for lack of proficiency or other circumstances. In such cases, the pilot is no longer considered available for training under provisions of this chapter. (7) New Aircraft. (a) When units are activated or convert to new aircraft, training will be as directed by HQ SAC/DOT. (b) Unita scheduled for conversion to new aircraft or for inactivation are not relieved from compliance with this volume until advised by HQ SAC/DOT (8) NMR Policy. NMR accpmplishmente 1 may not be converted to MR activity nor may mission ready credit be brought forward for training accomplished during IQ or MQ training. (9) Training Policies. The following policies govern planning and execution of all training missions: (a) Mission Planning. Missions must simulate operational conditions as closely as possible to obtain maximum benefit from each sortie. Unleas otherwise specified, follow principles and procedures contained in appropriate flight manuals and other directives/operational requirements. (b) Training may be accomplished on functional check flights, provided provisions of TO-1-1-300 are satisfied. (c) MR pilots train IAW appropriate availability column. MR pilots gained during the training period will train under Appropriate column which is determined as first day of the month following the month in which they are eclar (10) Crediting of Training. | Unless otherwise directed, all activity accomplished on any type mission (scored where applicable) is credited as mission ready requirements. , (a) Use suffixes as indicated in SACR 50-370 to identify and award credit to appropriate pilot. (b) Activity accomplished while TDY at an operating location is not creditable toward mission ready requirements, however, this activity will be documented. Locally, reproduced forms may be used in lieu of CMARs to record this training. 4-3. CONTINUATION TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: a. Basic Proficiency: an Ground Tr Training Requirements. U-2/TR- t pilots must complete training requirements contained in Figure 4-1 and in (2) Flying Training Requirements. Semi-annual flying requirements contained i in Figure 4-2 to 4-4 apply to all pilots maintaining proficiency in the U-2/TR-1. Training and evaluation requirements are based on those items necessary to operate aircraft safely and to retain basic skills on a currency basis. (3) Pilots who fail for two consecutive training periods-to accomplish specified training applicable to their availability will be placed in supervised status, accomplish retraining as directed by unit commander and - demonstrate proficiency in all basic items to an IP. ~ b. Mission-Ready. Mission-ready training tequirements are designed to maintain U-2/TR-1 pilots at a state of proficiency that will enable them to perform the unit mission. These requirements apply to pilots maintaining tactical aircrew qualification. (1) Ground Training: Pilots will accomplish training requirements contained in Figure 4-1. Policies, responsibilities and detailed requirements are contained in SACR 50-24, Volumes I and V. (2) Flying Training Requirementa: (a) Sortie Requirements.

Currency: (1) Instructor pilots must acomplish a touch-and-go landing each 45 days. Those failing to meet this requirement will not supervise, instruct or evaluate touch-and-go landings until requalified. (2) U-2CT/TR-1B IPs must accomplish one touch-and-go in the rear seat each 45 days. Those failing to meet this requirement will not instruct touch-and-go landings from the rear seat until requalified- (3) All IPs must perform active inflight instructor duties on a frequent basis to ensure maintenance of a high level of currency/proficiency. As a minimum, each IP will perform IP duties once each 60 days for currency. Any IP who loses currency will be required to satiafactorily demonstrate instructor skills to a current IP prior to resuming IP duties. U-2C, U-2R and TR-1A may satisfy this requirement through mobile activities. b. Loss of Currency: (1) Loss of IP currency in the U-2CT/TR-1B does not preclude a pilot from performing normal inflight pilot duties as long as basic currency is maintained. (2) Requalification: _(a) Requalification must be administered inflight by a designated IP or FE as applicable to the time since currency expired. Accomplish and document flight and landing requalification requirements IAW chapter 4. (b) Requalification need only be accomplished in those areas/maneuvers in which the IP is noncurrent. c. Repeat Noncurrency. [Ps who fail to meet currency requirements or who fail repeatedly to meet requirements of this paragraph will be reviewed by unit commander to determine if they should remain on IP status.

Visual Meterological Conditions (VMC). The term, as used in this regulation, ie defined as weather conditions which permit operation clear of all clouds and provide visual contact with the ground. It in nu way refers to those weather minimums required to operate under VFR ciearance as defined in AFR 60-16. b. Clear of Clouds. The term refers to weather conditions which permit aircraft operation with some visual attitude reference source outside the cockpit such as the ground or cloud layers. Operation on top of clouds or between cloud layers satisfies this requirement. ce. Inatructor Pilot Supervision. Defined as an IP qualified in the aircraft and applicable maneuver, occupying one of the pilot’s seats with immediate access to controls while the maneuver is being performed or located in mobile control in two-way radio contact with the pilot performing maneuver. 6-3. RESTRICTIONS: a. Policy. Emergency procedures will not be practiced in flight under the following conditions: (1) During hours of darkness (aunset to sunrise) or instrument flight conditions. (2) When runway contact is involved and runway condition is wet, icy, or enow covered.
