Aircrew Training and Standardization
The Aircrew Training and Standardization Program utilizes an instructor that integrates the use of interactive software with customized training videos. The program consists of an initial 8-hour training and an annual 4-hour sustainment training. Key objectives are based on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft accident experiences. During the program, the objectives, principals and qualities are explained and demonstrated through the use of in-classroom exercises and scenario-based videos that reinforce the ACT Program and illustrate various principals.
SRCA's Aircrew Training and Standardization Program includes grade slips, tasks, standards, and conditions. The program integrates Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and policies where possible to mitigate exposure and risk and provides the following:
- Administrative requirements for maintenance and use of this program
- Implementation of procedures
- The governing of annual evaluations and how they are to be conducted
- Integration of the patrolman and established training requirements
- Explanation of the Flight Captain minimal aviation levels and academic training for re-currency
- Identification of all tasks that crewmembers must perform to include the conditions and standards
- A method for pilots to maintain currency by task, operation, and hours
- Identification of safety programming with a 3-year plan of academic training
- Establishment of an Aircrew Coordination Training (ACT) program
