TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Identify COFT Instructional Subsystems CONDITION: Given a COFT, COFT IUH, and in a classroom environment STANDARDS: I/O student must demonstrate knowledge of proper COFT training by achieving 80% or higher on the I/O end of course exam and achieve an overall “GO” on the student hands on test

COFT SAFETY BRIEFING SAFETY: Tampering with equipment is prohibited and horseplay will not be tolerated CVC helmets must be worn in the Crew Station at all times No food, drinks, smoking or smokeless tobacco are allowed in the training area Use all required references during maintenance and training Do not walk on or move any cables, or touch any electrical connections

COFT SAFETY BRIEFING (Con’t) Know the location and function of the three emergency Shutdown Switches Know where the fire extinguishers are, how to use them, the location of the emergency exits and the Shelter Emergency Shutdown Switches Do not permit any activity in the COFT that is unsafe in the BFV

COFT I/O COURSE Risk Assessment Level: Moderate, due to potential for exposed high voltage cables Environmental Considerations: None Evaluation: I/O student must demonstrate knowledge of proper COFT training by achieving 80% or higher on the I/O end of course exam and achieve an overall “GO” on the student hands on test

EXERCISE SCORING U4 or more failed exercises 2 or more failed exercises P24 to 309 to 12 T31 to 3613 to 15 TwelveFive Rating Situations in Each Exercise Crews are scored IAW the T,P,U evaluation criteria in FM The computer converts letters to numbers. (T) Trained = 3 (P) Needs Practice = 2 (U) Untrained = 1 Exercises may contain 5 or 12 situations. The scores are added together and an overall score of T, P, or U is given for the exercise.
