Reporting (SHARP/DRRS-N)

3. Overview General Policy Guidance

4. 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

5. Policy Overview - Current
Current Training and Readiness policy is delineated by CNAP/CNAL (CB T&R), dated 10 Dec 2015
This instruction includes the following references:
Enclosures 1-15 contain the specific TMS matrices
Appendix A - Matrix Format
Appendix B - Ordnance Categories
Appendix C - Reserved for Interim Matrices
Appendix D - Equivalent Sortie Length Matrix
Appendix E - Number of Authorized Aircrew
Appendix F - FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan
Appendix G - Glossary of Terms

6. Policy Overview - Future
The next update to the T&R Instruction (CNAP/CNALINST A) is awaiting signature from the CNAP/CNAL Chiefs of Staff
Significant changes include;
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
New Format currently in use by;
HM (new matrix + SHARP 7)
VR (new matrix + SHARP 7)
VP/VQ (in transition to the new matrix + SHARP 7)
VAW (in transition to the new matrix only)

7. 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

8. General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates
FRTP Start/End Date - Both
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
Employability Start Date – Current matrix only
For CVW squadrons, this is the completion of C2X or Fallon, whichever happens last
For non-CVW units, this is the completion of C2X or as defined by your TYPEWING
For all units, this date marks the crossover point between Production and Sustainment skills
Phase Transition date – Current matrix only
Normally used by non CVW based units (VP, Exp, etc.)
Indicates the date the unit moves from Production to Sustainment skills
Managed by CNAP/CNAL N40 via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) and, in some cases, delegated to TYPEWINGs for management.

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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.

16. Mission Essential Tasks (MET) – Both
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.).

17. Experience Factor (Ef) - Both
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

18. Experience Factor (Ef) – Average 90 day FHP - Both
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)

19. Performance Factor (Pf) - Current
Skills
Completed by executing flight tasks
Periodicity driven by;
Number of required iterations by crew seat (pilot, NFO, Aircrew etc)
How often the skill needs to be repeated
Flight Tasks
Specific events required to achieve a skill
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

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.

37. T Pillar Metrics Metric/Process Owner T-Pillar Metric CNO/USFFC TFOM =
OPNAVINST (DRRS-N)
NRTP (DRRS-N Manual)
TFOM =
Pf x Ef
Pf = performance factor
Ef = Experience factor
TYCOM
CNAP/CNAL (DRRS-N Supp)
CVN and T/M/S DRRS-N Guidance
CNAP/CNAL (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

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

38. 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

39. 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

40. 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
