3. Overview General Policy Guidance

4. Policy Overview
“ The mission of Naval Aviation training is to prepare tactically and technically skilled
aircrew to win at war. To develop the combat skills required to accomplish this mission,
Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components: Capabilities-Based Training and
Readiness (CB T&R) Matrices, the Flight Hour Program (FHP), Non-Combat Expenditure
Allocation (NCEA) ordnance, simulation, Type Wing Advanced Readiness Programs (ARP),
Air Combat Training Continuum (ACTC) and FRTP major events. “
This policy is the CNAP/CNAL (CB T&R), dated 10 Dec 2015
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

5. The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard
Introduction – Building Block Approach
The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of training attainable with the resources available. To execute this training strategy, Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components.
The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard

6. General Policy Guidelines - T&R in DRRS-N
0 - 59
TFOM
CDR Assessment
Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculation
Discuss that this brief is T pillar specific.
TFOM = Pf x Ef

7. General Policy Guidelines - CVW/EXP FRTP Cycle
TSTA
AWF
C2X
ARP
Depicted is a notional FRTP cycle. The actual FRTP cycle is determined by the operational schedule for the CVN and Strike group.
Basic
Integrated
Sustain
Deployment
Maintenance
ULT/ACTC

8. General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates
It is essential that squadrons and detachments understand the impact of the following dates since they can greatly effect the readiness calculations in SHARP. These dates are managed at the TYCOM level via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) and, in some cases, delegated to TYPEWINGs for management.
FRTP Start Date
This the beginning of an FRTP Cycle. Normally, the FRTP date affects ordnance expenditures and other SRS/DRS items
Employability Start Date
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
Normally used by non CVW based units (VP, Exp, ETC)
Indicates the date the unit moves from Production to Sustainment

9. General Policy Guidelines - T&R Objective
“The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of combat readiness as efficiently as possible with the resources available. Although training is continuous, it is recognized that readiness levels will vary depending on the phase within the FRTP.”

10. 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
Flight Hour funding is elevated to maintain higher state of readiness
All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End

11. General Policy Guidelines - Reserve Units
Reserve Units Include:
TSW (VFC-12, VFC-111, VFC-13, VAQ-209)
VR (C-40/C-130/C-20G)
VP-62 and VP-69
HSC-85, and HSM-60
HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component matrix
Same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts
Higher periodicities due to greater experience levels

12. 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 embedded within instruction
Waivers are submitted to the CNAP or CNAL N40 for approval. If resources such as Ordnance or Flight Hours are affected, the decision to approve/disapprove moves to the CNAP or CNAL Chief of Staff

29. Wing Training Manuals (WTM)
The T&R Instruction is the foundation upon which the WTM is based. The WTM sets forth requirements for individual aircrew training and defines the resources required. The WTM is intended to provide community-specific details required to successfully execute training. As a minimum, the WTM (and addendums) shall include:
A detailed description of each training task in the task to skills section of the matrix. 
The prerequisites for each training task in the task to skills section of the matrix.  
The specific training objectives of each task that are aligned with T/M/S NMETLs. 
The requirements for completion and pass/fail criteria for each task in the Task List. Initial criteria will be based on fleet experience or existing training documents and will be adjusted as required after periodic review of aircrew performance data. 
The Measures of Performance (MOP) and MOE shall be used to evaluate each task. Debrief sheets will be included when applicable. 
WTM performance metrics shall be linked and consistent with each community NMETL standards to ensure uniform Current Readiness Assessments. 
An Enlisted Aircrew Training Syllabus (other than the simulators and flights already listed in the matrix, if required). 
Ensure that a defined link between ACTC flight and simulator events directly to T&R tasks is accomplished. 
Clearly define special qualification definitions and requirements (e.g., FAC A, Strike Lead). 
Clearly define stand-alone academic requirements that are not tied directly to a specific T&R Task. 
Clearly define squadron ground training requirements. Squadrons shall implement a ground-training program to support the flight-training syllabus, satisfy the requirements of mission qualifications and maintain the professional standards required of Naval Aviators and Aircrewmen.

This is the NCEA allocated per aircrew (excluding Mk-76/BDU-48) in the FRTP.
20mm shows a nominal 150 round belt due to current inventory constraints and historic practice of utilizing 150 round belts to support Rhino strafe training.
There is NO CNAF policy restricting 20mm belts to 150 rounds. See Wing Training Manuals and Wing/Station Weapons policies for standard belt configurations.
CNAF is pursuing increasing the amount of 20mm for training to allow for 10 events with full belts – defined as 400 rounds based on Rhino limitations.
NCEA for DMLGB will be available for FA-18A-D, but they have not been approved for release on any range,

50. REPORTING

51. Data Management – SHARP
Single data capture tool for squadron training
Only data source to feed the DRRS-N T Pillar for squadrons and detachments
Reports module provides current training status and analysis for readiness reporting

52. Data Management – ADW
The Aviation Data Warehouse is the centralized data store for all SHARP data.
ADW houses the metrics and algorithms used to calculate the Training Figure of Merit (TFOM) used in DRRS-N to describe the training capability of a Mission Essential Task (MET)

53. Two useful reports for assessing the T Pillar in DRRS-N
SHARP - Reports
Units should review the various SHARP reports when assessing training readiness in DRRS-N.
These reports provide a comprehensive picture of the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM in DRRS-N.
These reports also provide the basis for the CO to make comments in DRRS-N that explain which skills are required to achieve MCO readiness levels.
Two useful reports for assessing the T Pillar in DRRS-N
Current Readiness Assessment (CRA)
Crew METs with Individual Skills Report

54. Current Readiness Assessment (CRA)
SHARP - Reports
Current Readiness Assessment (CRA)
The CRA is submitted by the unit every 15 to update the T pillar in DRRS-N
Even though the CRA displays the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM scores in DRRS-N, is only provides an explanation the Ef scores.
HSM (CVW) Example

55. Crew METs with Individual Skills Report
SHARP - Reports
Crew METs with Individual Skills Report
The Crew METs report explains the Pf side of the TFOM equation
Since there is no Pf drill down data available in DRRS-N, this report provides an means to understand which skill sets are deficient for each NTA

Description Calculation
Number of Skilled Crews Number of Required Skilled Crews
Pf =100 x
The Performance factor is calculated for units with six crews or more using the equation on the right
Units with five crews or less use fixed numbers (see table below)
Caveat: If Ef < 100, then Pf is held at 80.
Required
Skilled Crews
Number of Skilled Crews Attained 1 2 3 4 5
100 50 33 66 25 75 20 40 60 80

58. Readiness Calculations – Experience Factor (Ef)
Description Calculation
The Experience factor is based on a unit’s ability to meet all the SRS requirements for each NTA as outlined in each T/M/S matrix
Number of SRS Items Completed
Number of SRS Items Required
Ef = 100 x
Reflects accomplishment of Aircrew and Squadron Qualifications
Numeric Value between 0 – 100
The Ef value has two possible outcomes:
If the unit completes all the SRS requirements, a maximum value of 100 is assigned
If one or more of the required SRS items is not completed, a value less than 100 is assigned

59. 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
The unit updates the T (Training) pillar in DRRS-N by submitting a Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) from SHARP
CRAs are submitted every 15 days or when readiness changes occur
80-100
60-79
0 -59

60. Keys to Success
Know your average flight hour funding for 90 days to know your expected level of readiness for the end of that period
You have to fly to get readiness (a GOOD thing)
Logging really matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs
Management of the SHARP Program is critical
Training Officer, AOPS
T&R and syllabus both have to factor into how your write your flight schedule
Understand your readiness expectations
Know what your R+ months are throughout your FRTP cycle
Use the SHARP CBR skills report to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N
