or fail to complete ground continuation training requirements. The following guidance applies:
4.9.1. Loss of Currency. Flight currency is associated with those events denoted in the flying continuation training tables by a specific period of time (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annually) within which an event will be accomplished (listed in the ―CUR‖
column). Loss of currency prohibits an individual from accomplishing unsupervised in-flight duties in the non-current event(s).
4.9.1.1. Place individuals delinquent in one or more currency events in supervised training status for that event and declare them NMR. Loss of currency prohibits an individual from accomplishing unsupervised in-flight duties in the non-current event(s).
4.9.1.2. Crewmembers are non-current the day after event currency expires (i.e., a crewmember that accomplished an event with monthly currency on 1 May becomes non-current on 1 July).
4.9.1.3. Sq/CC will direct training necessary for the individual to regain MR status (See paragraph 4.9.4.2) or request an OG/CC waiver for the requirement (See paragraph 1.5.7). Base the decision to approve a waiver on the individual crewmember’s experience and proficiency level. Do not approve a waiver request for the same flying training event deficiency affecting consecutive training periods (if a waiver is desired for consecutive training periods, forward request for MAJCOM approval).
4.9.1.4. Flight Surgeon loss of flying currency. Units will notify the MAJCOM Command Surgeon of Flight Surgeons exceeding 60-days between sorties (AMC units send notification to AMC/SGP and local MDG/CC). Flight surgeons that exceed 60 days between sorties require a review of aircraft exits and oxygen systems conducted by a member of the flight crew designated by the Aircraft Commander (AC) prior to the flight to regain flying currency.
4.9.1.4.1. The egress review will be signed off by the AC on a copy of the AMC/SGP memo or other approved form (e.g., AF 1522, locally generated form/memo, etc.) Note: documentation on AFTO 781 is not acceptable. The Flight surgeon must submit this documentation to the local Squadron/Host Aviation Resource Manager
(SARM/HARM) office after the flight or upon return to home station if the flight is in conjunction with a TDY. The HARM or SARM will place the documentation in the flight surgeon’s training folder.
4.9.1.4.2. Failure to complete and document required training before the flight will result in the loss of ability to log primary flight surgeon time.
4.9.1.4.3. Flight Surgeons that exceed 6-months between sorties require completion of LL03, Emergency Egress Training, Non-Ejection Seat, with a certified aircrew instructor prior to the next flight.
4.9.2. Failure to Complete Semi-annual Flying Training Events. At the end of each training period, the Sq/CC will review ARMS products for crewmembers that fail to accomplish all required flying continuation training. Failure to complete semi-annual requirements prohibits an individual from accomplishing unsupervised in-flight duties in the specific event(s).
4.9.2.1. Place individuals delinquent in one or more currency events in supervised training status for that event and declare them NMR in unit missions requiring the event.
4.9.2.2. Sq/CC will direct training necessary for the individual to regain MR status using the same process as regaining currency (See paragraph 4.9.4.2) or request an OG/CC waiver for the requirement (See paragraph 1.5.7). Base the decision to approve a waiver on the crewmember’s experience and proficiency level. Do not approve a waiver request for the same flying training event deficiency affecting two consecutive training periods (if a waiver is desired for two consecutive training periods, forward request to MAJCOM approval).
4.9.3. Failure to Complete Ground Training Events.
4.9.3.1. Failure to complete Ground Continuation training events in Table 4.1 leads to NMR status. NMR status prohibits an individual from accomplishing unsupervised in-flight duties until the delinquent event is accomplished or waived.
4.9.3.2. Failure to complete Mobility Training events in Table 4.2 does not affect MR status but restricts crewmembers from performing missions that require the delinquent event(s) until the required training is accomplished.
4.9.3.3. If a Flight Surgeon fails to complete Ground Continuation Training events in Table 4.3, the Sq/CC (or his designated representative) will determine the Flight Surgeon’s status based on mission requirements.
4.9.3.4. With the exception of mandatory grounding items in Table 4.1, the OG/CC may waive certain ground continuation training events identified in Table 4.1 and Table 4.2 This waiver extends the due date and does not delete the requirement. This waiver authority will be used judiciously. The decision to grant a waiver will be based on the individual crewmember’s experience and proficiency level. OG/CC will determine the allowable time period of the waiver. The make-up training should be accomplished at the earliest opportunity. This waiver is for unforeseen circumstances only and only for events that will not degrade mission accomplishment.
4.9.3.5. With the exception of mandatory grounding items, SQ/CC (or their designated representative) may allow crewmembers NMR for events in Table 4.1 to fly
unsupervised on training missions as long as the crewmembers do not accomplish the specific event(s) that put them into NMR training status. An individual NMR for failure to complete NVG Ground Refresher Training (NV03) may fly unsupervised on any mission not requiring the overdue event with SQ/CC (or designated representative) approval. An individual NMR for failure to complete Hazardous Cargo Training (G182) may only fly unsupervised on local training missions not requiring the overdue event with SQ/CC (or their designated representative) approval.
Table 4.7. NMR Flying Restrictions.
NMR DUE TO RESULT
Proficiency / Basic events (Note 1) Instructor supervision required
Non-NVG assault events Restricted from non-NVG assault events Visual Low-Level day events (Note 2) Restricted from Visual Low-Level day events SKE formation events (Note 2) Restricted from SKE formation events
NVG airland (to include NVG takeoff, NVG landing, NVG Instrument Approaches)
Restricted from NVG airland operations NVG assault events Restricted from NVG assault events NVG VLL event (Note 3) Restricted from NVG VLL event
NVG ground operation events (loadmaster) Restricted from NVG ground operations Airdrop events (Note 4) Restricted from airdrop events
Tactical arrival and departure events Restricted from tactical arrivals and departures Miscellaneous events (see Tables 4.4 & 4.5) No restriction
NOTES:
1. Includes all Proficiency/Basic events listed in Table 4.4 and Table 4.5. See NVG items for NVG restrictions. (Example: NMR due to landing requires instructor supervision for any landing. NMR due to NVG Landing restricts NVG landings but does not affect unaided landings). Only includes Category 1 Navigation Sortie if planned for the mission. If not planned, crewmembers are restricted from performing those events, but they may fly without instructor supervision. Pilots NMR due to unaided night events may fly unsupervised on local training day missions as long as they are not also delinquent due to corresponding day events planned for the mission. If a loadmaster is NMR due to M050, Tactical Mission, the
crewmember may still fly a Proficiency Sortie as long as no mission events requiring a tactical checklist are planned or flown.
2. Includes formation departure and recovery events. Does not include airdrop.
3. Unaided night VLL events are no longer required or practiced. See AFTTP 3-3.C-130J and/or AFI 11-2C-130J, Volume 3.
4. Airdrop events may be divided into equipment, personnel, Container Delivery System (CDS) or JPADS/I-CDS airdrop events. For example, a loadmaster may be NMR due to a personnel drop, but that does not affect equipment or CDS if not delinquent in those events. For pilots, PADS Operator NMR status does not affect other airdrop events.
4.9.4. Crewmembers NMR for Flying Training Events.
4.9.4.1. NMR crewmembers may fly unsupervised on CONUS and OCONUS missions if events in the delinquent category are not accomplished (OG/CC approval not required for local, routine, and non-contingency missions). Use Table 4.7 as a guide. NOTE: An individual non-current in takeoffs (P020), landings (P190), or approaches (P070), will not fly unsupervised on any sortie (See paragraph 1.10).
4.9.4.2. Regaining Currency or Mission-Ready Status.
4.9.4.2.1. Non-current or NMR for up to 6-months, a crewmember will demonstrate proficiency in the aircraft or simulator (as appropriate as defined in Table 4.4 or Table 4.5) with an Air Force instructor (or ATS instructor of like specialty for simulator creditable events) in all delinquent items. Crewmembers non-current for less than 6-months will maintain their current training level (no training folder required).
4.9.4.2.2. Non-current or NMR exceeding 6-months. For events identified in Table 4.4 and Table 4.5, the crewmember is unqualified in the aircraft and will complete Sq/CC-directed requalification training and an aircrew evaluation according to AFI 11-2C-130J Volume 2 (see Table 4.7, Note 1 for clarification and exceptions). If NMR due to Assault, Visual Low-Level, SKE, or Airdrop events exceeding six months, the aircrew member is unqualified or uncertified in the appropriate mission event and will complete requalification or recertification as directed in paragraph 2.9.
(Exception: Flight evaluation not required if event only requires certification). Use Table 4.7 as a guide for grouping events. NMR due to NVG events does not affect the unaided event (e.g., NMR due to NVG Landing does not affect Landing).
Crewmembers will regain NVG currency by flying with an instructor for the particular NVG event. NMR due to Miscellaneous Flying Training Events exceeding six months requires proficiency to be demonstrated in the aircraft, WST or verbally debriefed (except for P280, Aircrew Chemical Defense Task Qualification Training (ACDTQT)) to the satisfaction of a like-position qualified instructor in all delinquent items.
