  2. Overview • USAF Training Doctrine • Principles Of ATC Training • Components Of ATC Training • Application • Maintenance • AFI 13-203 Changes

  3. AF Training Doctrine AFDD 1-1 states: People are the decisive factor in war. It is imperative that people receive the right education and training at the right time.

  4. Current ATC TRAINING Block Tests Certification Guides Proficiency Tests/ Front Load Position Training Certification Tests CFETP Newcomers Task Certification Orientation Guides CONTROLLER TRAINING Weather Training Master Task PROGRAM Procedures Technical Reference Training Non-Radar Evaluations Training Computer Based/ Master Training Simulator Training Reference Index

  5. PRINCIPLES OF ATC TRAINING • Training Guidance hierarchy • AFI 36-2201 Volumes 1-6 • AFI 13-203 --- FAA Orders • MAJCOM Supplement • Local Operating Procedures (Training OI)

  6. PRINCIPLES OF ATC TRAININGCont • AFI 36-2201 Volumes 1-6 • Air Force Level Guidance • Provides standardized training structure • Defines responsibilities • CFM – Career Field Manager • U&TW – Utilization and Training Workshop Procedures • Commander  Trainee • CFETP Requirements • Documentation procedures etc

  7. PRINCIPLES OF ATC TRAININGCont • AFI 13-203 --- FAA Orders • ATC Specific Guidance and Standards • Additional requirements necessary for ATC to accomplish Wartime and NAS mission • MAJCOM Supplement • Guidance based on unique MAJCOM mission requirements • Local Operating Procedures • Local facility specific guidance and direction

  8. PRINCIPLES OF ATC TRAINING Master Training Plan • Roadmap for all Training • Includes: • CFETP, AFJQS and QTP’s • MTTR and MRI • PCG’s, and TCG’s • All Documents that Cover Training

  9. CFETP 101IAW AFI 36-2201 Vol 5 Chapter 3 • Enlisted CFETP Requirements: • Part I – Air Force Specialty (AFS) Information • Section A – General Information • Section B – AFS Progression and Information • Section C – Skill Level Training Requirements • Section D – Resource Constraints • Section E – Transition Training Guides • Part II – Listing of training courses and standards available to support AFS training requirements • Section A – STS 3-, 5-, 7-skill level core knowledge and performance standards • Section B – Course Objective List • Section C – Support Material • Section D – Training Course Index • Section E – MAJCOM Unique Requirements

  10. CFETP 101 IAW AFI 36-2201 Exception: 6.3.2. Exceptions. 6.3.2.1. For AFSCs, duty positions, units, and/or work centers with specialized training standardization and certification requirements (e.g., space ops/missile maintenance shops, Maintenance Training Flight and/or HQ AETC instructors, air traffic controllers, aircrew standardization flight examiners, load masters, fire fighters, radiology, etc.) the trainer/instructor is authorized to train and certify task qualification. Third-party certification is not required unless otherwise directed.

  11. Training 101 • AFI 36-2201 Vol 1-6 Air Force Training Program • CFETP – “cradle-to-grave” concept • Responsibilities of Commanders, UTM (good read!), Supervisors – example: • Vol 3 para 6.1.9. – Conduct and document work center orientations • Vol 3 para 6.1.11. – Document an initial evaluation… • OJT – Three components • Job Knowledge – CDCs or identified by supervisor/CFETP • Job Performance – Hands on – proficiency training • Job Experience – gained during and after upgrade

  12. General Career Progression • Guidance • CFETP Part II (STS) • AFI 36-2201 Vol 3 • AFI 36-2201 Vol 3 • AFI 36-2201 Vol 3 • AFI 13-203 • AFI 13-203 • AFI 13-203 • AFI 36-2201 / AFI 13-203 • Flow • Technical School  • OJT – Upgrade Trng • Indoctrination • Initial Eval • Front Load Training **CHANGE** • Position Certification • Duty / Management Trng • 7 – Level Upgrade

  13. APPLICATION • FRONT LOAD TRAINING • Provides Structure • Introduces A Defined Amount Of Knowledge At The Beginning Of Training • Common items without performance variance from position to position can be certified in the first three blocks and revalidated as part of the initial evaluation to ensure compliance with standards • Feedback

  14. APPLICATION • Front Load Training  Change to • ATC Training Structure as follows: • Part I covers Local Area Knowledge • Part II covers facility equipment. • Part III covers general ATC practices. Meet 5-Level Knowledge Standards – APPRENTICE ONLY • Part IV covers practical application. Meet 5-Level Application Standards – APPRENTICE ONLY • Position Certification • Feedback

  15. Apprentice Controllers • What Are They Sending Us???? • AF Classification requires AQE Score of 55 for both Mechanical and General • Graduates are performing Tasks at the 2b – 3c proficiency level • Knowledge Based Tests Minimum Score 70 % • Military Training Leaders (MTL) Ensure Military Standards Strictly Adhered to

  16. Apprentice Controllers • What can you do to help? • Perform or Ensure an Initial Evaluation – Evaluate Formal Training By Comparing it to the STS in the CFETP • Use the Training Report Card If Available • Provide Feedback to Keesler • Report Deficiencies Using the Field Evaluation Questionnaire or Customer Service Information Line • Make Recommendations • If You Receive a Graduate Assessment Survey (GAS) Answer the Questions Truthfully and Articulately

  17. PRINCIPLES OF ATC TRAINING • Training Record Maintenance • Certification Process – Updates • Withdrawal Process – Follow AF level guidance • Simulation requirements – guidance

  18. APPLICATION • MANAGEMENT INVOLVEMENT • Establish Realistic Standards • Day to Day Involvement • Crew Interaction • Trainee Interaction • Feedback

  19. APPLICATION • CREW INVOLVEMENT • Time Management • Crew Chief Involvement • Trainer Involvement • Everyone Has Ownership • Feedback

  20. APPLICATION • TRAINEE INVOLVEMENT • Time Management • Open Communication • Responsibility • Proficiency • Feedback

  21. APPLICATION • SIMULATION AND AUTOMATION • Establish a Viable Program • Provide Adequate Resources • Communicate Expectations • Promote Documentation • Feedback

  22. APPLICATION • DOCUMENTATION • Write Effectively • Adhere to PCG Standards • Pre-Brief Objectives • De-Brief Objectives • Avoid Destructive Criticism

  23. APPLICATION • ADJUSTMENT • Management Involvement • Crew Providing Feedback • MAJCOM Guidance and Assistance • Continuous Adjustment

  24. APPLICATION • VALIDATION • Management • Trainers • NSE • Watch Supervisors

  25. MAINTENANCE • CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS • Living Program • Easily Changed • Promotes Efficiency • It’s The Right Thing ToDo

  26. MAINTENANCE • ANNUAL REVIEWS • Keeps Management Involved • Validates the Training Program • Deletes Unnecessary Procedures • Produces Streamlined Products
