General Policy Guidance T&R Matrix Format NCEA Agenda This Capabilities-based T&R course will cover the following topics General Policy Guidance T&R Matrix Format NCEA Reporting (SHARP/DRRS-N)
Overview General Policy Guidance
The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard Introduction – Building Block Approach “ The mission of Naval Aviation training is to prepare tactically and technically skilled aircrew to win at war.” We do this by carefully using our many resources to achieve the highest level of training attainable: The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard
Policy Overview - Current Current Training and Readiness policy is delineated by CNAP/CNAL 3500.1A (Squadron Training and Readiness), dated 19 Dec 2018 This instruction includes the following references: Enclosures 1-13 contain the specific TMS matrices Appendix A – T&R Format Appendix B – T&R Matrix and NMETL Submission Checklist Appendix C - Reserved for Interim Matrices Appendix D - Equivalent Sortie Length Matrix Appendix E - Number of Authorized Aircrew Appendix F - FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan / Ordnance Category Delineation
Policy Changes - Overview Skill sets replaced with flight tasks (aligns the METs directly to flight tasks) All flight tasks are now mandatory (no more optional tasks) Deleted the Sustainment/Production sections of every matrix Flight and simulator hours clearly mapped to flight tasks Clarified how detachment-based squadrons apportion flight hours to detachments when flying aircrew from different detachments Det-based squadrons must assign flight hours flown to only one detachment when a flight contains crews from more than one detachment
General Policy Guidelines - CVW/EXP FRTP Cycle OFRP is based on a 36 month cycle even though the FRTP standards show 27 months TSTA AWF C2X ARP Depicted is a notional FRTP cycle. The actual FRTP cycle is determined by the operational schedule for the CVN, CVW, squadron, or detachment. Basic Integrated Sustain Deployment Maintenance ULT/ACTC
General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates FRTP Start/End Date Defines the unit FTRP cycle Affects ordnance expenditures and FRTP milestones (ARP, AWF, C2X, ISATT, CERTEX, Phase Transition) The dates can be adjusted for special circumstances FRTP months for CVW-based squadrons are managed by CNAP/CNAL N40 via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) FRTP months for Expeditionary-based squadrons/detachments are delegated to TYPEWINGs for management
General Policy Guidelines - FDNF Units FDNF Units include: CVW-5 HSM-51 Due to the dynamic schedule and OPLAN requirements, FDNF units are required to maintain higher levels of readiness Higher Flight Hour funding to maintain higher readiness All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End
General Policy Guidelines - Reserve Units Reserve Units Include: TSW (VFC-12, VFC-111, VFC-13, VFA 204, VAQ-209) VR (C-40/C-130/C-20G) MSW (VP-62, VP-69, HSC-85, HSM-60) HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component HM matrix Reserve matrices … Use the same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts Tend to have higher periodicities due to greater experience levels FHP funded by number of aircraft vice number of crews
General Policy Guidelines - Waivers Waivers may be requested when resources are not available or when external factors (weather, operational tasking, range availability, etc.) preclude execution of tasks in the T&R matrix Carrier Air Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons under their operational control Type Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons not attached to a CVW and all detachments under their administrative control Waiver format example included in T&R instruction Waivers are submitted to the CNAP or CNAL N40 for approval Expect CNAP or CNAL to deny ordnance waivers in order to “Show the Pain” Only Ef items can be waived in the T&R matrix.
T&R Matrix Format (Enclosures 1-13 )
T&R Matrices - Overview Standardized format across all communities Max value on CAG/CO judgment Aligned to the FRTP Advanced Readiness Program (ARP) Air Wing Fallon Embarked Operations (ISATT/TSTA/C2X) Phase transition/CERTEX Incorporates training resources Flight Hour Execution ACTC syllabus Simulators Ordnance Aircrew Qualifications Critical Schools Matrix Enclosures (1) VFA (FA-18) (2) VFA (F-35) (3) TSW (4) VAQ (5) VAW (6) VRC/VRM (7) MPRA (8) VQ(T) (9) VR (10) HSC (11) VTUAV (12) HSM (13) HM
NTA to flight task mapping + task periodicity T&R Matrix Elements Flight Tasks NTAs Ef = SRS Pf = IARS Notes NTA to flight task mapping + task periodicity TFOM = Training Figure of Merit SRS = Squadron Requirements Section IARS – Individual Aircrew Requirements Sections Flight/sim hours Sub Tasks TFOM = Ef x Pf 80-100 60-79 0 -59 No longer has a Sustainment/Production section All Flight Tasks are required SRS section and TFOM calculations remain the same
Mission Essential Tasks (MET) NTA Navy unit level Mission Essential Tasks Most common type of MET used in a matrix Subset of the NMETL in DRRS-N NMETL COCOM/OPLAN driven Developed by the Type Wings TYCOM managed USFFC approved NMETL = Navy Mission Essential Task List) Mission Essential Tasks (METs) is technically the correct term for the list of tasks. NTAs are just one type of METs. VQ(T) matrix has other types (e.g., OP, SN, etc.).
Experience Factor (Ef) Measure of squadron level training requirements ACTC, ARP, C2X, Fallon Ordnance 90 day avg flight hours T/M/S specific quals/designations Ef is a number from 0.0 – 1.0 but displays as a whole number in DRRS-N Ef items are minimums Resourcing ensures minimums are met over the FRTP
Experience Factor (Ef) – Average 90 day FHP Flight Hour Execution is a measure of Readiness Target Value 90 day entitlement rolling average T&R (baseline) hours only Measurement Value 90 day actual rolling average All hours flown MESH not factored into training hours but does count towards total flight hours MESH = Mission Essential Support Hours (Also called Afloat/Ashore Support Hours)
Performance Factor (Pf) Flight Tasks No longer have production and sustainment sections All Flight Tasks are required all the time Flight Tasks now directly relate to NTAs Old optional tasks are now accomplished through Sub-Tasks mapped to a Parent Task The Wing Training Manual contains the prerequisites Individual Crews formed when all required crew positions have achieved all the required skills for a given NTA Sample HM Matrix
Wing Training Manuals (WTM) Wing Training Manual provides community-specific details for each training task in the T&R Matrix including: Detailed description Prerequisites Training objectives aligned with T/M/S NMETLs Requirements for completion Pass/fail criteria The Measures of Performance (MOP) and Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) shall be used to evaluate each task. Debrief sheets will be included when applicable.
Simulator Contribution Some matrix have required sim skills on top.

COMPTUEX Air Wing Fallon ARP ULT Appendix F – FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan Appendix F delineates NCEA allocation to each training event in the FRTP. Type Wing Weapon Schools, NSAWC, and CSFTL/P provide inputs for their FRTP events during the annual T&R Conference. ULT ordnance is allocated in 90-day blocks as determined by CNAL NCEA Readiness Officer. NOTE: TSTA is currently considered ULT. Changes to Appendix F requires coordination with the respective training organization and CNAL/CNAP. Changes to shipboard events shall be minimized due to logistical constraints.

CVW FY17 NCEA – Sample Roll-up This is an example of the Air Wing NCEA worksheet used to plan and distribute NCEA. Ordnance requirements for each VFA squadron’s major FRTP events are displayed and totaled. A similar spreadsheet covers rotary-wing squadron requirements, which are much more robust with advent of APKWS and FFFWS The numbers are rolled up the airwing level and NCEA is issued to the respective CVW NCEA account for allocation directly to individual squadrons

REPORTING (SHARP/DRRS-N)
Data Management – SHARP Single data capture tool for squadron training Only data source to feed the DRRS-N Training Pillar for squadrons and detachments Reports module provides current training status and analysis for readiness reporting SHARP 7.0 implementation HM, VR, MPRA, some CVW units complete EXP Helo squadron transition in 2Q FY19 SHARP 5.2 Current version Multiple single unit databases SHARP 7.0 Single Navy database Updated for modern browsers Improved list management Expanded reports
T Pillar Metrics Metric/Process Owner T-Pillar Metric CNO/USFFC TFOM = OPNAVINST 3501.360 (DRRS-N) NRTP 1-03.5 (DRRS-N Manual) TFOM = Pf x Ef Pf = performance factor Ef = Experience factor TYCOM CNAP/CNAL 3500.38(DRRS-N Supp) CVN and T/M/S DRRS-N Guidance CNAP/CNAL 3500.1 (T&R Matrix) Determines T&R policy and format Contains T/M/S training matrices Pf = Number of Skilled Crews Number of Skilled Crews Required Ef = Number of SRS Items Completed Number of SRS Items Required FFC OPNAV define the TFOM equation. The TYCOM defines how P and E are calculated. The Type Wing determines how P and E are mapped. Type Wing Wing Training Manuals T&R matrix mapping for each TMS Development of the T&R matrix Caveat: If Ef < 100, then Pf is held at 80
SHARP Reports and DRRS-N Two useful SHARP reports to assess readiness in DRRS-N Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) Crew METs with Individual Skills Report Provide a comprehensive picture of the Ef and Pf elements that make up TFOM in DRRS-N Provide basis for CO’s comments in DRRS-N
T&R Calculations to DRRS-N TFOM = Pf x Ef Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculated in ADW and NTIMS Unit updates Training (T-Pillar) in DRRS-N by submitting a Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) from SHARP CRAs submitted every 15 days or when readiness changes occur 80-100 60-79 0 -59
Keys to Success OPS needs to have a plan to execute training and ordnance expenditures Track R+ months throughout your FRTP cycle Quarterly flight hour funding = expected level of readiness Fly your hours to achieve expectations Reference SHARP reports to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N SHARP Management is critical Logging matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs Training Officer, AOPS be proficient T&R should be a flight schedule driver
