11. FHP Requirement Development
O-FRP – Fleet Response Training Plan
Five phases: Maintenance, Basic, Integrated / Advanced, Sustain, Deploy
Optimized FRTP (36 month profile) has been approved
CVN maintenance schedules have changed
Officially started in FY-16 (MAP 15-02)
Increases sustainment from average of 3 months to 13 months
FRTP was 32 months in duration
Current readiness standards continue to use a 27 month profile
MAP schedule dictates actual R / D month assignment

12. Optimized Fleet Response Training Plan
Squadron FRTP profiles are based on individual T/M/S T&R matrix requirements and readiness standards as determined by Type Wing
Baseline FRTP funding
T&R requirement according to R+ month assignment
Support hour requirement fully captured and funded (MESH)
MAP defines FRP phase. TYCOM assigns R+ month to align entitlements to FRP requirements.
Contingency & multi-national exercises not specifically funded
Deployment
Basic
Integ.
Sustain
Maint

13. FHP Allocation FRTP determines R+ Month
R+ Month determines unit funding level (40%-80%)
Hours allocated to squadron based on R+ Month and defined readiness standards
Hours are allocated based on planned crews & RBA as defined by TMS Readiness Matrix – not your actual bodies / airframes

Contracts (FW)
100% fixed cost. Labor contracted to sustain aircraft.
Cost is not recoverable and is lost in year of execution.
Fuel (FF)
100% variable cost. Reduce flying, reduce cost.
Consumables (FM)
Items used to sustain or repair aircraft. Reduce flying, reduce most cost. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.
Repairables / AVDLR (FA)
Aircraft components that are repaired and returned to the supply system. Reduce flying, reduce costs. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.

18. TMS Readiness Matrix Matrix for each TMS
Defines crew numbers, PAA, hours per crew, MESH (Support hours), R+ Month funding requirements, etc.
Hours for each TMS determined by Type Wing
Hours defined by Matrix should enable squadron to achieve DRRS-N readiness levels based on FRTP phase
Defines what you should have, not what you actually have
If you know your R+ Month (defined by MAP) your TMS Readiness Matrix will tell you exactly how many hours you will be granted each quarter

19. How do I come up with the Hours?
Hours = [(#Crews)(100%T&R)]R-month% + [(Total Monthly MESH)(#Crews)]
MESH = Mission Essential Support Hours
Ashore MESH = 1
Afloat MESH T/M/S specific
Major at sea evolutions

22. Special Interest Categories
OEF Series: OEF-HOA
OIR – OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE
ONW – OPERATION NIMBLE WARNING
OJM – OPERATION JUNIPER MICRON
WTI / Staff hours
NSAWC
Others as directed (i.e. Operation Tomodachi, Operation Damayan)
OCO
Reported on BOR for tracking purposes. Accurate reporting is paramount.

23. If you’re entitled to OCO, you will receive hours.
OCO Process
Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) used to fund hours flown over the baseline in support of 5th FLT Operations
CNAP funded squadrons will receive quarterly OCO grant
Coordination between CNAP FHP Manager, CVW OPS, and NAVCENT FHP Manager
Blend of historical execution by TMS and expected tasking
Baseline hours plus OCO grant is a ceiling. Units cannot exceed that amount without an augment.
Baseline and OCO hours are not mutually exclusive
Execute total hours (baseline + OCO) like any “normal” quarter
Accurate BOR data
OCO = Overseas Contingency Operations (the new term for “Cost of War” or “Supplemental”)
If you’re entitled to OCO, you will receive hours.

24. WTI and Staff hours do not count against you.
WTI / Staff Hours
Reimbursable Staff Hours
Type wing staff hours assist in execution of operational requirements (840 hours per FY)
WTI, staff FHP requirements executed by fleet assets
WTI, staff hours become “reimbursable” only after 100% execution has been obtained
Example: Squadron Q1 allocation = 1000 hrs
WTI, staff flies 50 hours in squadron aircraft
Unit has flown 990 hrs w/ 1 week remaining in QTR
Funding can be increased to cover up to 1050 hrs (adjusted to cover actual execution above 1000 hrs)
Report all reimbursable / special interest hours on BOR
TAKE AWAY: WTI, STAFF hours don’t count against you, so FLY THEM. In fact, they can help you. In the example above, let’s say the squadron closes the quarter having only flown 950 hours by its own squadron personnel. This would show an under-execution, however, since they have also used their aircraft to fly 50 WTI and/or CVW Staff hours, the total execution against their FHP is 1000 hrs (or 100% execution). Additionally, OPNAV includes CVW staff and WTI hours in our budget each year so not flying Weapons Schools Instructors and / or CVW staff results in a program under-execution from the OPNAV perspective.
WTI and Staff hours do not count against you.

25. Wing Staff / WTI Hours Accurate BOR data is paramount
Q2 Example: report CVW Staff hours each applicable month of the quarter totaling 150 special interest hours

30. Execution Visibility

31. Execution Visibility
CNAL reviews readiness and FHP execution for every squadron bi-monthly
Will assess hours flown vs. DRRS-N reporting vs. overall health of organization
CNAF reviews this information on a monthly basis
Under-execution of FHP grant + poor readiness = increased visibility at the CNAF / CNAL level
BLUF : utilize FHP grant to ensure that training requirements are being met and accurately reported

32. Execution Visibility FHP execution doesn’t always work out…
If your squadron is going to under execute, contact the FHP office
FHP Manager will work to mitigate the under execution, and offer alternative plans to execute hours
Goal of FHP program is to execute the FRTP & ensure proper readiness, not to “burn hours”
FHP Manager will use this information to update CNAL / CNAF ahead of bi monthly reviews & mitigate the focus
If you expect to over execute – contact the FHP office

33. Look Ahead DOD / DON budget uncertainty Continued scrutiny of FHP
FY-17 Budget uncertainty
Presence and / or force structure changes (Afghanistan & OIR)
Continued scrutiny of FHP
Must be able to defend requirement and model
Fly your baseline hours, type wing staff, and WTI

34. FHP Management / Takeaways
Ensure OPS / Maint teams have TMS Readiness Standards and all FY Guidance messages
GFM schedule dictates your FRTP; CNAP assigns R+ months
Flight hour funding determined by referencing R+ month in the applicable TMS Readiness Standard
Hours execution is the primary goal NOT 7B execution
Coordinate early with CNAP FHP Manager for all augment requests (hours, 7B, 7F) to prevent a negative BOR.
Accurate reporting of hours in BOR
Execute to ~105% in support of your squadron T&R plus type wing staff and WTI.
Accurate hours execution = continued funding for all of Naval Aviation. If we do not execute our grants, funding levels will be reduced.

35. FHP Management / Takeaways
Flying hours don’t just generate readiness, they reduce mishaps
