These provisions apply to RC-135 M/U/V/W series RAVEN training activities. Procedures contained herein are in support of AFR 60-1, SACM 51-135, SACR 60-4, and Unit Mission Tasking Requirements. For the purpose of training and qualificntion, the following are considered sepurate positions on RC-135V/W model aircraft: RAVEN 1 Block I RAVEN. 9.0 y Block WE a A ea RAVEN 2 Block ¥ 7 RAVEN 2 © ‘Block III ok RAVEN 3 (Considered the same position on Block I_and Block III aircraft.) . Once initially qualified, a RAVEN 1 may be equipment difference certified in the other RAVEN 1 position. For a RAVEN 1, qualification ina RAVEN 2 or RAVEN 3 position will require a separate check. Once initially qualified. a RAVEN 2 may be equipment difference certified in either the other RAVEN 2 position and/or the RAVEN 3 position. Fora RAVEN 2, qualification ina RAVEN 1 position will require a separate check. Once initially qualified,a RAVEN 3 may be equipment difference certified in either or both RAVEN 2 positions. For a RAVEN 3, qualification in a RAVEN | position will require a separate check. A person holding multiple position currency on RC-135 series aircraft may receive his annual check in any position for which he is certified. Difference training between RC-135 Mission/Series Aircraft, except V to W or W to V, will require an inflight SACR 60-4 evaluation. To determine overall qualification, the evaluatee will be required to demonstrate proficiency and/or accomplish an oral examination in the 1-2. OBJECTIVE. _ . The objective is to provide reconnaissance training operations that will produce RAVENS fully qualified to fulfill the unit mission. This chapter gives specific definition to SACM 51-135 concepts and prescribes procedures that will ensure RAVENS. become mission qualified in a timely manner. It provides for continuation training responsive to mission tasking and changing reconnaissance equipment.

(13) For scheduled SACR 60-4 evaluations, the evaluator will'sclect the scenario(s). For no-notice evaluations, the - planned training activity/scenarios will be used. Change or modification of the scenario by the evaluator for a no- notice check is not authorized. - Oe _ Doo b. General Procedures: ; (1) Plan training missions to insure optimum use of flight time consistent with operationai mission profiles. _ (2) Instructors may receive credit for continuation training events if their student’s activity satisfies the event " (3) The Tactical Coordinator will determine the acceptability of degraded equipment for creditability of training " activities. 24 SRS/DOT is the final approval authority for crediting training events. (4) The criteria for training events may be met on other than planned training sorties (operaticnal flights, _ furetional flight checks, ferry flights, ete.}. , 2-8. MISSION CRITIQUE AND EVALUATION: ~ a:Training Missions. Following each training mission/,round POI, the Tactical Coordinator will conduct a crew critique in accordance with SACR 50-12, chapter 2. ’ b. Operational Activity. For missions on which d«ia is recorded, the on site analyst reviews the tapes and logs. _ and produces the “Quick Look” report. A “Feedback” report is produced following full analysis of the ccilectec : mission data. These reports will. be reviewed as follows: © 0 ot) te pee ct eth nt ne . “2 = (1) “Bach Tactical-Coordinatar will review.each report-for missions flown by his crew: The TC reviews the data reported for each aircraft system to deterniine if there are procedural or equipment problems requiring corrective action. , (2) Each operator will review the portions of the reports applicable to his position. (3) DOT. N and a representative of DOV review all reports to identify equipment problems, operator errors, and Procedures difficulties. If operator deficiencies are identified, 24 SRS/DOT will prescribe corrective training to eliminate the deficiency. Procedural difficulties will be corrected by DOV. Equipment problems are identified to the appropnate maintenance activity for correction. ¢ (4) Operator deficiencies identified as a result of post-mission analysis will be incluced in the Standardization’ Evaluation trends analysis and reported in the quarterly Stan/Eval Review Panel.
