Chapter 2
Course Administration
Section A. Syllabus Management
2-1. Syllabus Interpretation — This syllabus is directive in nature and will be followed as written. If no clear syllabus
guidance exists, resolve the situation using the appropriate chain of command. If the logical course of action appears to
conflict with other directives, notify 56 TRS/TD. 56 TRS/TD will coordinate with AETC/A3ZF, at DSN 487-5834.
2-2. Syllabus Waiver — An approved syllabus waiver is required for any planned exception to the syllabus caused by
special or unusual circumstances. Waiver authority below the approval level is not authorized. Permanent or blanket
waivers are not authorized. OG/CC or FG/CC will staff all waiver requests through AETC/A3Z. AETC/A3Z will ensure
proper request staffing for ARC students. Waiver requests will be completed on AETC Form 6, Waiver Request, using the
following approval process:
a. Prerequisite and Execution Waivers: For active duty (AD) students, AETC/A3Z is approval authority. For ANG
students, NGB/A3O is approval authority. For AFRC students, AFRC/A3T is approval authority. For SOC Track 1
AD senior officer students, AETC/A2/3/10 is approval authority. NGB/A3 or AFRC/A3 is approval authority for
ARC senior officers.
b. AETC/A3Z will coordinate with the gaining NAF/A3 (or equivalent) and OG/CC or FG/CC (or equivalent) on
waivers or circumstances that will delay graduation or increase gaining unit training requirements.
Note: Do not accomplish or omit any training requested in a waiver until notification of approval. Maintain a
permanent record of all approved waivers in the Graduate Training Integrated Management System (GTIMS).
2-3. Syllabus Deviation and Omitted Training — A syllabus deviation is any unplanned variation from syllabus
requirements. Each student must accomplish all syllabus-directed training unless a waiver request is approved.
a. If unforeseen circumstances result in omission of required training, OG/CC or FG/CC may authorize the omitted
training to be accomplished later in the course as long as it does not adversely affect the quality of student training.
b. Document all syllabus deviations, OG/CC or FG/CC-directed corrective actions, and the accomplishment of the
omitted training in GTIMS. Report all syllabus deviations at Luke to 56 TRS/TD and syllabus deviations at
Holloman to 54 OS. 56 TRS/TD will forward syllabus deviation reports to AETC/A3ZF for Luke assigned students,
and 54 OS will forward syllabus deviation reports to AETC/A3ZF for Holloman assigned students.
2-4. Disenrollment Procedures — Rated officers who voluntarily withdraw from this course may meet a Flying
Evaluation Board (FEB), as directed by AFI 11-402 and applicable supplements. Forward elimination requests to
AETC/A2/3/10 IAW AFI 11-402 as supplemented.
2-5. Course Completion — Students must complete all required syllabus training in order to graduate and depart
Luke/Holloman AFB.
a. Students may not make up training at the follow-on unit without an approved syllabus waiver.
b. After completion of the last sortie, students may begin F16CJCX0PL training as required.
2-6. Fuel Conservation — AETC is committed to fuel conservation and maximizing training value for the command’s
energy resource investment without compromising safety, air discipline, or negatively affecting the quality of our flying
training product. Aircrews must manage aviation fuel as a limited and costly resource. Consider fuel optimization
throughout all phases of mission planning and syllabus execution. Ensure ground operations (engine start times / taxi
routing) and flight profiles are optimized for efficient fuel use. Adhere closely to syllabus average mission durations
(AMD). Do not exceed these flight times except for extenuating circumstances or to meet training objectives.
4 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
2-7. Training Phases — The syllabus sorties are organized by phase and module as indicated below:
a. Transition (TR) Phase: Transition (TR), Instrument (INST), and Night Transition (NTR) modules.
b. Advanced Handling (AH) Phase: Advanced Handling Characteristics (AHC) and Basic Fighter Maneuvers
(BFM) modules.
c. Air-to-Air (A-A) Phase: Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM), Tactical Intercepts (TI), Air Combat Tactics (ACT),
and Night Tactical Intercept (NTI) modules.
d. Air-to-Surface (A-S) Phase: Low-Altitude Step Down Training (LASDT), Surface Attack (SA), Surface Attack
Tactics (SAT), Close Air Support (CAS), and Surface Attack Night (SAN) modules.
a. Proficiency Advancement — See specific course (Chapters 6 – 12) for proficiency advancement rules.
b. Breaks in Training (ADD sorties) — ADD sorties will be used to ensure training continuity only due to breaks
in training. They will not be used to provide additional training due to student deficiencies, e.g., additional
G-awareness training.
(1) 10-Day Rule — Students experiencing a delay of more than 10 calendar days between flights in any phase
(TR, AH, A-A, A-S) or between NVG flights will repeat the last sortie profile flown in that phase and fly a
G-awareness maneuver.
(a) Identify the repeated sortie as an “ADD” sortie (e.g., BFM-ADD). This sortie will not be designated as
an “X” sortie (2-9f(4)), will not require proficiency, and will result in an overall grade of “No Grade (NG).”
EXAMPLE: Student flew BFM-1 on 1 February. BFM-2 (or the next syllabus sortie in sequence) must be
flown on or before 11 February. If not, the student will fly BFM-ADD before resuming formal syllabus
flying training.
(b) If the last sortie flown was solo, FS/DO will determine if the sortie will be dual or solo.
(c) NTR-1, NTR-2, and INST-3 are exempt from the TR Phase 10-day rule.
(d) ACT, NTI-1, and NTI-2 are exempt from the A-A Phase 10-day rule.
(e) LASDT-1 and LASDT-2 are exempt from the A-S Phase 10-day rule.
(g) Waiver authority for the 10-day rule is the FS/CC. Document waivers in GTIMS.
(2) 14-Day Rule — For a break in training due to factors beyond the student’s control (not including failure to
meet CTS) or an extended period without flying or device training of more than 14 calendar days, the student
will repeat the last sortie profile flown in that phase and fly a G-awareness maneuver. Additionally, the OG/CC
or FG/CC may authorize additional sorties prior to the student reflying the last sortie profile.
(a) Identify the repeated sortie as an “ADD” sortie (e.g., TI-ADD). This sortie will not be designated as an
“X” sortie (2-9f(4)), will not require proficiency, and will result in an overall grade of “NG.”
(b) Identify additional sorties as “ADD” sorties (e.g., TI-ADD). Determine the number and type of
additional sorties on an individual basis. These sorties will not be designated as “X” sorties (2-9f(4)), will
not require proficiency, and will result in an overall grade of “NG.”
EXAMPLE: Student flew TI-2 on 1 March. The student then experienced a break in training greater than
14 calendar days. The student must refly the TI-2 profile, designated TI-ADD, prior to resuming formal
flying training. However, based upon the length of the break, the OG/CC or FG/CC may authorize a TR and
an additional TI sortie (e.g., TR-ADD, TI-ADD). The student will complete these two sorties prior to
accomplishing TI-ADD (TI-2 profile).
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 5
a. Progression
(1) Students must achieve the course training standards (CTS) IAW Section D.
(2) Consider marginal students for the Commander’s Awareness Program (CAP) IAW AETCI 36-2205V6.
b. Regression
(1) Failure to maintain CTS (graded “1” when “2” or better is required) is considered regression. Regression
will also be considered when a task is graded “0” when a “1” was previously required.
(3) For TR Phase and non-phase tasks, proficiency should be maintained through the end of the course. AH,
A-A, and A-S Phase tasks must meet standards by the end of that phase in order to progress to the next phase of
training or to graduate.
(4) Regression tasks must be brought back to standards through additional ground instruction, device training,
or in-flight instruction. Additional training will be documented in GTIMS. Ground instruction or device training
must be accomplished prior to the next sortie. In-flight instruction may be accomplished on the next sortie.
Following the completion of additional training, if required, the student will progress to the next sortie.
Reference paragraph 2-9e for guidance concerning regression documentation and grading. If the regression task
is not brought back to standards on the next attempt, the sortie will be graded Non-Effective/Student
Non-Progression (NE/SNP).
(5) If a student regresses on the same task multiple times (more than twice) but not consecutively, squadron
supervisors will assess the student’s progress and determine the appropriate course of action.
c. Mission Descriptions
(1) Mission Objectives — Provide training requirements for mission tasks and overall mission requirements.
(a) Introduce — Indicates the first time the student performs a mission type, major mission task, or
subtask if it will be a milestone task on a later sortie. Tasks introduced in academics and/or device training
will still carry the mission objective of “Introduce” on the first sortie that task is flown.
(b) Practice — Performance to CTS is not required. The student has been previously introduced to the
task. Following introduction, the “Practice” objective will be listed for a mission type, major mission task,
or subtask if it will be a milestone task on a later sortie. Typically, after the student is required to
demonstrate proficiency on a mission type or milestone a task, it will not be listed in the “Practice”
objective.
(2) Execution Objectives — Provide guidance for when a mission task or mission type must meet CTS.
(a) Demonstrate Proficiency — Students will demonstrate proficiency IAW F1600CTSPL in mission
types when specified in “Mission Objectives.” Minimum overall grade is “2” (see paragraph 2-14) and
minimum grade for specific mission type is “2.”
(b) Milestone Tasks — Milestone tasks must meet CTS as outlined in the Milestone Task Requirements
tables (listed in Chapters 6 – 12, Section E) on or by the specified milestone sortie.
1) If the milestone task was not attempted on the milestone sortie, the IP must look back to the
previous attempt. If the previous attempt met CTS, note that fact on the gradesheet. If the previous
attempt did not meet CTS, log the task in the unaccomplished task log. The next time the task is
attempted the student must meet CTS and should be accomplished as soon as practical.
6 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
2) If the student attempts the milestone task on the milestone sortie and fails to meet CTS, the
mission status will be NE/SNP (reference paragraph 2-9e(4)).
3) Failure to maintain CTS for a milestone task is considered regression (reference paragraph 2-9b).
(3) Mission Tasks — Students must complete all asterisked (*) tasks for a mission to be “Complete” (except
where noted in the syllabus notes) but need not accomplish every non-asterisked subtask.
d. Mission Conduct
(1) Alternate Missions — Alternate mission profiles are limited to maneuvers, mission tasks, and profiles
previously flown on syllabus training missions. Alternate missions will not satisfy syllabus requirements, except
when instrument (INST) missions can be safely accomplished.
(2) Source Documents — Use current AFTTP 3-3 and AFTTP 3-1 volumes as source documents to teach
tactics and techniques.
(3) Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) CRM skills will be integrated into flight briefings and
debriefings IAW AFI 11-290, Cockpit / Crew Resource Management Training Program, and its AETC
Supplement. Gradesheets will contain the following CRM grading items:
(a) Situational awareness
(b) Communication
(c) Risk management / decision making
(d) Task management
(e) Mission preparation / planning (students will not be evaluated on briefing / debriefing)
(f) Flight integrity (students will not be evaluated on wingman consideration)
e. Mission Status
(1) Effective — Missions will be “EFFECTIVE” if the student meets mission objectives and accomplishes all
asterisked mission tasks. A milestone sortie may be “EFFECTIVE” if the milestone task was not accomplished,
provided it is not asterisked. The student progresses to the next sortie. Reference paragraph 2-9c(2)(b) for
amplification of milestone task completion.
EXAMPLE: The student receives a “1” for an SFO on BFM-6 when the CTS of “2” is required to be maintained
after TR-5.
f. SNP Sorties and “X” Sorties (for additional device information reference paragraph 2-9g)
(1) SNP is used to denote a failed sortie or device, including but not limited to:
(a) Any sortie / device that student’s performance does not allow progression to the next sortie / device.
(c) Any demonstrate proficiency sortie with an overall grade less than “2,” or specific mission type grade
of less than “2.”
(d) Failure to meet CTS for a milestone task on the milestone sortie.
(2) There are essentially two types of SNP sorties. The SNP is due to the student’s performance on a phase-
specific task, or due to the student’s performance on a non-phase task. These phase-specific and non-phase
specific tasks are listed in the Milestone Task Requirements tables (see Chapters 6 – 12, Section E).
(a) If the SNP was due to a phase-specific task the student will refly the failed sortie as an “X” sortie.
EXAMPLE: ACM-3 graded “1” when a “2” is required to Demonstrate Proficiency. The student will refly
ACM-3 as ACM-3X.
(b) If the SNP was due to a non-phase task, the IP of record has four options:
EXAMPLE: A “D” for a SFO on BFM-6 warrants a TR-X sortie as additional training. Following
successful completion of TR-X, the student progresses to BFM-7 (or the next syllabus sortie in
sequence).
EXAMPLE: A “0” for a SFO on BFM-6 that can be corrected on BFM-7 (or the next syllabus sortie
in sequence).
3) The deficiency can be corrected through ground instruction and/or device training.
EXAMPLE: A “0” for a SFO on BFM-5 that can be corrected in a device. Following successful
completion of the training device, the student progresses to BFM-6 (or the next syllabus sortie in
sequence).
EXAMPLE: A “0” for tactical formation on BFM-5 that can be corrected while reflying BFM-5
instead of a TR-X sortie. The SNP will still count against the TR Phase, but the sortie flown will be
BFM-5X.
(3) For accounting purposes, SNP sorties will count against the phase in which the deficient task falls (e.g.,
SNP on BFM-6 for an unsafe SFO pattern would count against the TR Phase).
(4) “X” sorties are provided to allow for additional training required to bring a student’s performance up to
standards. Any sortie reflown due to SNP or any additional sortie flown to correct deficient tasks will be
designated as an “X” sortie, denoted by an “X” suffix after the sortie designation. If additional training is used to
help correct deficiencies before the “X” sortie (e.g., ground instruction and/or device training), that training must
be documented in GTIMS.
8 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
(1) Students who fail to progress or do not demonstrate proficiency in the device when required by this syllabus
will fly device “X” missions to correct the deficiency (reference paragraph 2-9f(1) for SNP guidance). The
student will either refly the failed device if the SNP was due to phase-specific deficiency or will fly an additional
device in the phase related to the deficient task.
(2) There is no course limit for SNP devices. Schedule any student who fails a device “XX” mission for a
device progress check (PC). See paragraph 2-10 for training device PC guidance.
(3) Any device used to correct deficient aircraft task(s) will be designated with an “X” (WST-X, NTC-X, etc.).
This device mission can be any device profile previously accomplished that is relevant to the deficient aircraft
task(s).
h. SNP Limits — Once a student has reached the maximum number of SNP sorties allowed in a phase (SNP Limits
tables are listed in Chapters 6 – 12, Section D), the student’s next sortie will be a PC IAW paragraph 2-10. OG/CC
or FG/CC may authorize additional SNP sorties up to the course limit. AETC/A3Z may authorize sorties beyond the
course limit or after a failed PC. For ANG students, AETC/A3Z will coordinate with NGB/A3O to authorize
additional sorties beyond the course limit or after a failed PC. For AFRC students, AETC/A3Z will coordinate with
AFRC/A3T to authorize additional sorties beyond the course limit or after a failed PC. In all cases, authorize
additional instructional sorties only if the FS/CC judges such sorties would result in the student meeting course
requirements.
i. Corrective Action Sorties — A FE may recommend additional training or a recheck sortie as a result of a failed I/Q
Evaluation. An additional training sortie, if approved by the FS/CC, is not considered an “X” sortie and will be identified
as a “C” sortie (e.g., TR-5C). For SNP accounting, count a failed I/Q Evaluation as a TR Phase SNP. The recheck is
designated as an “X” sortie.
a. A PC is a FS/CC’s tool to assess a student’s overall flying skills and potential to meet syllabus and CAF
requirements. FS/CC may direct a PC at any time and should consider a PC for sustained substandard performance
or doubtful potential to complete formal training. Schedule any student for a flying PC if the student has reached the
maximum number of SNP sorties allowed in a phase. Example: The B course has a maximum SNP sortie limit in
the A-A Phase of 3 sorties. If a B course student is NE/SNP on ACM-3, ACM-3X, and ACM-3XX, then the next
sortie will be a PC and coded ACM-3XXXP.
b. The student must meet CTS on the PC for that mission in order to continue in training.
d. Squadron supervisors will fly PCs. Flying PCs are considered instructional sorties.
e. A PC can result in the student passing and continuing in training; passing with additional training recommended
before continuing with the normal syllabus flow; or elimination.
g. OG/CC or FG/CC, AETC/A3Z, AFRC/A3T and NGB/A3O will review the student’s training at points specified
in AETCI 36-2205V6.
h. FS/CC may direct training device PCs any time student performance warrants consideration for elimination.
Device PCs will be conducted by an FE or contract instructor and observed by FS/DO or above who will decide
whether the student should continue training. The student must meet CTS to continue in training.
a. Academics — Consider for elimination any student who fails two or more academic tests.
b. Training Device — Students who fail a training device PC will normally be eliminated from training.
c. Flying — A student who either fails a PC or exhausts the course or phase SNP sortie limit and fails to achieve
CTS will normally be eliminated. See paragraph 2-9h for options to authorize additional SNP sorties beyond the
course limit or after a failed PC.
d. G-Tolerance — For students experiencing difficulties with G-tolerance, commanders should reference
AFI 11-404, Centrifuge Training for High-G Aircrew, AETCI 36-2205V1, AETCI 36-2205V6, AETCI 11-406,
Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Program (FACP), AFP 11-419, G-Awareness for Aircrew, and local OIs.
2-12. Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Program (FACP) — The goal of the FACP is to improve the high-G fitness and
execution of the anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM) for fighter aircrew members and establish effective physical
conditioning habits for all aircrew. The FACP is outlined in AETCI 11-406 and is mandatory for all FTU students. FACP
consists of two phases: Education phase and Assessment phase. Experienced pilots who have flown within 36 months (as
counted from the last flight to course entry date) in a sustained high-G aircraft (SHGA as defined in AFI 11-406) will
receive the Education phase only. Students outside the 36 month currency window will participate in the Assessment phase.
The Assessment will be at the discretion of an Aerospace Physiologist (IAW guidance from AETCI 11-406). Flying
squadron commanders will be briefed on students with significant physical shortcomings that may adversely impact high-G
performance. Per AETCI 11-406, students will participate in at least 3 exercise sessions per week that include exercises to
improve high-G fitness.
2-13. Academic Training Standards — B, TX Track 1, and SOC Track 2 and 3 students must pass academic tests before
progression to the next phase. Reference paragraph 3-4e for minimum test requirements.
2-14. Grading Criteria — Use the following criteria to grade mission elements and overall performance on each flight
and graded training device.
a. Gradesheets — GTIMS will be used to document completion of syllabus sorties and training device missions.
b. Overall Grade — Should reflect student performance in relation to the mission objectives. See paragraph 2-9f
for guidance on overall grades that indicate SNP.
Section D. Course Training Standards (CTS) — Describe the minimum overall performance levels required to progress
through and graduate from the course. Students must achieve CTS for all required phase tasks by the sortie indicated on the
Milestone Task Requirements tables. For all mission tasks performed, but not listed in the Milestone Task Requirements
tables, performance to a grade of “1” must be achieved by the end of the corresponding phase. Refer to F1600CTSPL, for
specific grading criteria for each task.
b. Do not accomplish a syllabus event without first doing all prerequisites shown on the map.
c. Workbooks are depicted the training day prior to the corresponding lesson. Workbooks should be read /
completed prior to the lesson they support. Some workbooks are independent of classroom lectures and should be
completed on the indicated training day.
d. Training specific to aircraft block (25/42) is indicated by the dashed line (shown below) and the lesson
designation (reference paragraph 3-2).

Chapter 5
Flying Training
Section A. General Instructions
5-1. General Instructions for All Flying Training — See course chapters (Chapters 6 – 12, Section I) for any course-
specific flying training instructions.
a. Following successful completion of the AFI 11-202V2 Instrument / Qualification (I/Q) Evaluation (TR-5),
CAT 3 weather minimums (700-2) apply until graduation. The FS/CC may assign student pilots previously qualified
in the F-16 to PWC 2, depending on experience and after a PWC 1 IP has evaluated their instrument proficiency.
b. Pilot line-ups reflect the minimum level of supervision required for each mission. FS/DO may change line-ups
due to weather, aircraft availability, or local constraints but the student-to-IP ratio may not exceed 1:1 (except 2:1 for
SA-1 – 4 or IAW paragraph 5-1c), unless otherwise noted.
(1) Student-to-IP ratio may be exceeded when I-course syllabus training is combined with this syllabus. IAW
AETC Syllabus F16C0I00PL (Luke), UIP/IP or IP/UIP equals the IP for student-to-IP ratio.
(2) Qualified “MPs” may fly direct support, provided all mission tasks can be accomplished. Do not exceed
maximum student-to-IP ratio. MPs may also fly as flight members three and four on any 4-ship sortie when two
students are not available.
(4) If MPs are leading sorties (where indicated in sortie lineups), an IP must conduct the brief and debrief. The
exception is when the UIP is acting as the MP leading the sortie, and is conducting a syllabus upgrade requiring
the UIP to lead the brief and debrief.
(5) UIP students can lead students in the combined wingman syllabus on all mission tasks if a qualified IP is in
the element at all times. UIP students can lead from an F-16C or F-16D (UIP, P/IP or UIP/IP, P). Combined
wingman students will fly solo on designated solo missions and the UIP will fly an F-16D with the IP in the
RCP.
d. Designated solo missions may be flown dual without counting as “X” sorties at FS/DO discretion. This option
should normally be used due to weather, a solo clearance task, an anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM) problem, or a
dissimilar mission. It should not be used when an “X” sortie is warranted due to student proficiency.
e. If a mandated D-model mission is graded “Effective/Incomplete,” FS/DO will determine if a D-model is required
to complete the sortie.
f. Formations may contain students on different syllabus missions if events are compatible.
g. Sorties may be flown with students in different syllabi provided all mission tasks can be accomplished and the
maximum student-to-IP ratio is not exceeded (e.g., CAS missions flown as part of an Air Strike Control upgrade).
i. Alternate mission profiles are limited to maneuvers, mission tasks, and profiles previously flown on syllabus
training missions. Alternate missions will not satisfy syllabus requirements, except when instrument (INST)
missions can be safely accomplished.
74 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
(1) Instructors should reference unit phase guides / syllabus SPINs for expanded mission element instructions.
(2) Students will not brief or lead syllabus sorties except where specifically directed / allowed by this syllabus.
Students may brief mission responsibilities on any sortie.
(3) A student does not become the designated flight lead when the syllabus requires an IP chase or the student
to fly in the lead position. The IP always retains overall flight leadership responsibility.
(4) During close formation flying, an IP will be in each element at all times. An IP or qualified flight lead will
lead all close formation work and formation approaches.
k. Students previously qualified in TGP operations may operate the TGP on any mission. If aircraft equipped,
advanced avionics capabilities may be introduced based on student proficiency in syllabus events.
l. Both the student and IP will wear NVGs on all night upgrade sorties. Do not accomplish NVG mission tasks in
the event of NVG failure in either cockpit / aircraft. Annotate any NVG failures on the specific mission GTIMS
gradesheet and accomplish unaccomplished events on subsequent missions.
m. Students previously NVG qualified in F-16 may regain NVG currency on any night sortie IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1
and AFI 11-202V1.
n. Monitor and grade student AGSM on all syllabus sorties when 5 or more Gs are experienced. Alert squadron
supervisors of any substandard performance. The following provides guidance for G-performance issues for syllabus
grading and general courses of action. Reference LAFBI 11-100, G-Risk Indicator Management (GRIM), for
additional procedures and protocols relating to poor G-performance.
(a) AGSM is a milestone task requiring a grade of “2” on BFM-1 (BFM-10 for TX 3). This grade is also
required for ACBT solo clearance in the B, TX 1, and SOC courses. If the student does not achieve CTS for
AGSM during BFM-1 (BFM-10 for TX 3), he will refly this mission. Refer to paragraph 5-1n(3)(b) for
further guidance.
(b) Students graded less than a “2” on AGSM on any sortie after BFM-1 will lose solo flight clearance,
regardless of sortie type. Students must achieve a “2” on AGSM on the subsequent sortie to regain ACBT
solo clearance.
(a) Students who experience GLOC or blackout (as defined by LAFB 11-100) will terminate the sortie
and RTB IAW local IFG guidance.
(b) Solo students who experience peripheral or general light loss under G such that they must knock off
maneuvering will RTB IAW IFG guidance. Students with an IP in the rear cockpit may continue the sortie
at IP discretion.
(3) Sortie grading clarification and follow-on sortie courses of action for G-performance issues:
(a) On any sortie where a student experiences a GLOC, AGSM will be graded “D” and will result in an
overall mission grade of “NE/SNP.” Refer the student for physiological review and follow the guidance in
LAFBI 11-100, AFI 11-404, and AETCI 36-2205V6. Following physiological review, if the FS/CC accepts
the risk to continue training, the next mission will be an “X” sortie (reference paragraph 2-9f).
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 75
(b) The first sortie terminated early for G-performance issues (to include blackout, KIO due to peripheral,
or general light loss) and/or failure to attain a “2” on AGSM on BFM-1 will result in an overall grade of
“NE/OTHER” and the mission will be reflown dual (e.g., if there were G-performance issues on BFM-2,
then BFM-2 will be reflown dual). Refer to LAFBI 11-100 for intermediary courses of action before this
mission will be reflown.
(c) Any subsequent sortie terminated early or significantly impacted by student G-performance issues (to
include blackout, KIO due to peripheral, or general light loss) will result in an overall mission grade of
“NE/SNP.” Refer the student for physiological review and follow the guidance in LAFBI 11-100,
AFI 11-404, and AETCI 36-2205V6. Following physiological review, if the FS/CC accepts the risk to
continue training, the next mission will be an “X” sortie (reference paragraph 2-9f for guidance if one or
more “X” sorties have already occurred in the phase).
o. Formation takeoffs, formations landings, and sensor formation may be introduced and accomplished on any
sortie after TR-5.
p. Random entry / straight-in SFOs may be introduced and accomplished on any sortie.
q. Rolling takeoffs will not be considered “introduced” if the student is flying in the number one position.
r. Radar-assisted trail departure and recovery will not be considered “introduced” if the student is flying in the
number one position.
s. FENCE checks, A-A switchology drill, A-S weapon systems checks, on-board countermeasures (OBCM)
employment, and G-awareness exercises (IAW AFI 11-2F-16V3) will be accomplished on all sorties, as applicable,
after TR-5. As such, these are not listed in the mission tasks unless they are being introduced or are milestone tasks.
t. If the flying squadron’s aircraft are not data link / HMCS equipped, no data link or HMCS mission tasks apply.
(1) Non-data link aircraft will only fly sensor trail formation. No other sensor formation mission tasks apply.
u. Air refueling:
(2) The student’s first air refueling must be day for B and TX 1 courses. TX 2/3 and SOC may be day or night.
(3) Students must accomplish a minimum of two hook-ups (may be dry) prior to being cleared solo day air
refueling or night air refueling.
(4) Students will not be refueled by KC-135 student boom operators. Students may be refueled by KC-10
student boom operators.
(5) B course students are encouraged to lead to the tanker on any sortie after TI-1. This may be accomplished at
any time in all other courses.
5-3. General TR Phase Special Instructions — See course chapters (Chapters 6 – 12, Section I) for course specific TR
Phase special instructions.
a. NTR-1, NTR-2, and INST-3 are exempt from the TR Phase 10-day rule (reference paragraph 2-8b(1)).
b. Prior to successful completion of TR-5, the following restrictions apply to solo students:
(2) Solo students will remain in VMC for the entire flight.
c. Students may not perform horn awareness and recovery training series (HARTS) maneuvers solo except nose
high recovery (HARTS 2).

a. Use a Weapons Director (GCI or AWACS) for intercept training (TI, ACT and NTI missions) whenever
possible. Adversary aircraft may provide reverse GCI as a substitute when weapons directors are unavailable.
d. NTI-1, NTI-2, and ACT are exempt from the A-A Phase 10-day rule (reference paragraph 2-8b(1)).
e. Use dissimilar adversaries to the maximum extent possible in the A-A Phase. Document dissimilar training on
GTIMS gradesheets. Use of dissimilar adversaries is allowed on ACM-1 – 3, however; these missions will be
D-model sorties with IPs in the backseat if dissimilar adversaries are used.
g. Minimum airspeed for unlimited maneuvering above 5,000 ft AGL is the low speed warning tone. Terminate the
fight at the low speed warning tone.

5-16. General A-S Phase Special Instructions — See course chapters (Chapters 6 – 12, Section I) for course specific
A-S Phase special instructions.
a. Use a Weapons Director (GCI or AWACS) for opposed sorties whenever possible. Adversary aircraft may
provide reverse GCI as a substitute when weapons directors are unavailable
b. Maximize employment of live / inert ordnance on any A-S Phase sortie (except if flown as part of an LFE).
c. Tactical strafe and any diving delivery may be accomplished on any A-S Phase mission on a controlled or
tactical range.
d. On 4-ship SA missions, number 3 may be a D-model with a student in the FCP and an IP in the RCP. Do not
exceed maximum student-to-IP ratios.
e. Any SA / SAT mission may be scheduled / effective as a 2-, 3- or 4-ship, unless stated otherwise in the Syllabus
Notes for that sortie.
f. Low-level training:
(1) Minimum altitude for visual low-level navigation and maneuvering is 500 ft AGL.
(2) Student is certified LOWAT CAT I, IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1, following successful completion of LASDT-2.
(3) B course students must fly a minimum of three low-altitude tactical formation (LATF) events in the wing
position. TX track 1 students must fly a minimum of two LATF events in the wing position.
(4) When more than one student aircraft per flight is scheduled for LATN, fly the low level with enough
spacing to preclude interference. Each student will plan and fly their low level.
g. Dissimilar adversaries are authorized on any opposed mission. Document dissimilar training on GTIMS
gradesheets.
h. On SA-5 – 8, SAT, CAS, and SAN sorties, weapons delivery, to include HAS, may be VTR assessed (i.e., no
actual weapons release is required).
i. Fly CAS sorties with FAC(A) or JTAC support to the maximum extent possible. If unavailable, squadrons should
launch a dedicated F-16 FAC(A) or put an additional IP/MP in a RCP to act as the FAC(A).

Section G. Ground and Academic Training — See Chapter 3 for ground and academic training information.
6-19. General Flying Training Instructions — Chapter 5, paragraph 5-1 applies with the following exceptions:
a. The following events must first be accomplished with an IP in the RCP. In order to be cleared solo for these
events, students must achieve and maintain a minimum grade of “1,” except where noted.
(1) If solo clearance event is attempted, but not received on the indicated sortie, the next sortie should be flown
dual to allow the event to be accomplished and solo clearance received. If a solo clearance event was
accomplished to solo-clearance standards on a mission that was graded overall “Non-Effective,” then the FS/DO
will determine if a D-model is required to complete the repeat of this mission.
(2) Solo clearance will be revoked if a student receives a grade of “0” or “D” on any of the solo clearance
events listed above after receiving solo clearance. The student must accomplish the task dual and receive at least
a “1” to regain solo clearance.
(3) A student who is cleared solo for night air refueling will automatically be cleared solo for day air refueling
(if not previously cleared solo).
(4) F-16 solo clearance on TR-3 requires VFR patterns, landings, and SFOs to be graded at least a “1.”
(5) Solo clearance for basic night operations requires night landings and basic night formation to be graded “1.”
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 167
6-20. TR Phase — See Chapter 5, Section B, for general TR Phase special instructions, along with the following:
(1) Students must fly one high illumination and one low illumination sortie.
(2) If unable to complete the minimum, squadron supervision will document the unaccomplished task / event in
the GTIMS gradebook and on the end-of-course Training Summary (AETC Form 904) to highlight the shortfall.
(3) Subevents (HUD-off as No. 3 or No. 4 / straight-in/random entry / etc. count for total of overall event
(SFO / landing / etc.).
168 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
6-21. AH Phase — See Chapter 5, Section C, for general AH Phase special instructions.
6-22. A-A Phase — See Chapter 5, Section D, for general A-A Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Tactical intercepts to a TGP ID (day / night) may be introduced and accomplished anytime after TI-1 provided
applicable prerequisites are accomplished (TGP academic and device training).
6-23. A-S Phase — See Chapter 5, Section E, for general A-S Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Students should achieve these A-S weapons employment qualifications prior to graduation:
(1) Criteria for weapons employment “Initial Qualification” will be IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1.
(2) Students need at least two record deliveries to achieve FAM in a weapons employment event. FAM in the
events listed above is desired, but not required for initial qualification (IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1).
(3) UGB is a combined event (50% hits of all record deliveries required). Any combination of hits in the
weapons events listed under UGB satisfies this training requirement. Strive to achieve unguided bomb
qualification on SA-1 – 4.
(4) VLD and SLD unguided bomb events are not required.
(5) Do not fly additional sorties to achieve qualification. Identify students not qualified in required events to the
gaining unit on the Training Summary (AETC Form 904).
(1) A live ordnance drop is required. The student is not required to fly with inert heavyweight ordnance prior to
flying with live heavyweight ordnance.
(2) An inert IAM drop is required. Fly SA-8 with at least one inert JDAM.
(3) An inert Paveway II drop is required. Fly SA-8 with at least one inert GBU.
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 169
Chapter 7
7-3. Course Objective — Provide Initial Qualification Training (IQT) in the F-16C/D to produce pilots with basic
proficiency in element air-to-air (A-A) and element air-to-surface (A-S) mission tasks. Differences in the syllabi between
Luke/Holloman (Active Duty) and Air National Guard (ANG) units are designed to produce an equivalent student based on
hardware and training device limitations. This syllabus lists training being conducted at Luke AFB/Holloman AFB.
7-5. Duration — TX Track 1A (air-to-air [A-A] emphasis) and TX Track 1B (air-to-ground [A-G] emphasis) – 84
training days (24 ground, 60 flying training days) based on a class of up to 8 students. Classes with more than 8 students
require 2 additional training days per student. If the TX Track 1 student is not previously NVG qualified, add 6 training
days for additional NVG training to meet AFI 11-2F-16V1 requirements for NVG qualification in the F-16.
7-6. Status Upon Graduation — Graduates fulfill all IQT requirements contained in AFI 11-2F-16V1 and are issued an
AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew Qualification, after completion of the Instrument / Qualification (I/Q) Evaluation.
Specifically, TX Track 1A and 1B graduates:
a. Will be proficient in the milestone tasks and the demonstrate proficiency items listed in paragraph 7-16.
b. Will receive initial qualification in A-A gun, AIM-9, AIM-120, unguided bomb, IAMs, LGBs, and tactical strafe
weapons employment IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1.
d. Will be certified and/or regain currency as a four-ship NVG wingman IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1.
e. Will be targeting pod (TGP) qualified IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1, with the exception of Paveway III and advanced
targeting pod (ATP) tasks.
g. Will be familiar with element low-altitude unguided munitions attacks through academics and training devices.
h. Will be familiar with A-A and A-S sensor management and prioritization to include FCR, TGP, NVG, HMCS,
and data link.
j. Will be familiar with Paveway III and Maverick operations through academics.
a. Previous F-16 pilot unqualified (timing starts from date of last landing) more than 8 years.
(1) 300 FP/IP front- or left-seat hours in fighter / attack aircraft and current within 42 months before course
entry, or
(2) 500 FP/IP front- or left-seat hours in fighter / attack aircraft and current within 5 years before course entry,
or
(3) 1,000 FP/IP front- or left-seat hours in fighter / attack aircraft and current within 8 years before course entry
(2) Physiological training IAW AFI 11-403 (current for the duration of the course).
Note: During initial screening FS/CC will determine which track, 1A or 1B, entering students will be assigned.
Decision should be based on previous A-A and A-G experience (i.e., previous A-10 pilot assigned to Track 1A,
A-A emphasis) and follow-on assignment.

Section G. Ground and Academic Training — See Chapter 3 for ground and academic training information.
7-19. General Flying Training Instructions — Chapter 5, paragraph 5-1 applies with the following exceptions:
a. The following events must first be accomplished with an IP in the RCP. In order to be cleared solo for these
events, students must achieve and maintain a minimum grade of “1,” except where noted.
(1) If solo clearance event is attempted, but not received on the indicated sortie, the next sortie should be flown
dual to allow the event to be accomplished and solo clearance received. If a solo clearance event was
accomplished to solo-clearance standards on a mission that was graded overall “Non-Effective,” then the FS/DO
will determine if a D-model is required to complete the repeat of this mission.
(2) Solo clearance will be revoked if a student receives a grade of “0” or “D” on any of the solo clearance
events listed above after receiving solo clearance. The student must accomplish the task dual and receive at least
a “1” to regain solo clearance.
(3) A student who is cleared solo for night air refueling will automatically be cleared solo for day air refueling
(if not previously cleared solo).
(4) F-16 solo clearance on TR-3 requires VFR patterns, landings, and SFOs to be graded at least a “1.”
(5) Solo clearance for basic night operations requires night landings and basic night formation to be graded “1.”
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 207
7-20. TR Phase — See Chapter 5, Section B, for general TR Phase special instructions, along with the following:
(1) If unable to complete the minimum, squadron supervision will document the unaccomplished task / event in
the GTIMS gradebook and on the end-of-course Training Summary (AETC Form 904) to highlight the shortfall.
(2) Subevents (HUD-off as No. 3 or No. 4 / straight-in/random entry / etc. count for total of overall event
(SFO / landing / etc).
7-21. AH Phase — See Chapter 5, Section C, for general AH Phase special instructions.
7-22. A-A Phase — See Chapter 5, Section D, for general A-A Phase special instructions.
208 Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014
7-23. A-S Phase — See Chapter 5, Section E, for general A-S Phase special instructions, along with the following:
(1) Criteria for weapons employment “Initial Qualification” will be IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1.
(2) Students need at least two record deliveries to achieve FAM in a weapons employment event. FAM in the
events listed above is desired, but not required for initial qualification (IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1).
(3) UGB is a combined event (50% hits of all record deliveries required). Any combination of hits in the
weapons events listed under UGB satisfies this training requirement. Strive to achieve unguided bomb
qualification on SA-1 – 4.
(4) VLD and SLD unguided bomb events are not required.
(5) Do not fly additional sorties to achieve qualification. Identify students not qualified in required events to the
gaining unit on the Training Summary (AETC Form 904).
b. Students will employ heavyweight ordnance on a minimum of one sortie (preferably two). Heavyweight
ordnance may be employed after SA-4.
c. If TGP is not available, IAMs or unguided bombs may be employed in place of Paveway II.

8-3. Course Objective — Reintroduces F-16C/D pilots in basic air-to-air (A-A) and air-to-surface (A-S) mission tasks.
Differences in the syllabi between Luke/Holloman (Active Duty) and Air National Guard (ANG) units are designed to
produce an equivalent student based on hardware and training device limitations. This syllabus lists training being
conducted at Luke AFB/Holloman AFB.
8-5. Duration — 50 training days (14 ground, 36 flying training days) based on a class of up to 8 students. Classes with
more than 8 students require 2 additional training days per student.
8-6. Status Upon Graduation — Graduates fulfill all Initial Qualification Training (IQT) requirements contained in
AFI 11-2F-16V1 and are issued an AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew Qualification, after completion of the Instrument /
Qualification (I/Q) Evaluation. Specifically, TX Track 2 graduates will:
b. Be familiar with intercepting, engaging, or defending against a single adversary aircraft when flying single-ship,
or against two adversary aircraft when flying as a wingman.
c. Be familiar with flying low- and medium-altitude day VFR attacks on preplanned or non-preplanned targets
using system or visual deliveries.
f. Be targeting pod (TGP) qualified IAW AFI 11-2F-16V1, with the exception of Paveway III and advanced
targeting pod (ATP) tasks.
a. Previous F-16 pilot with greater than 750 F-16 flying hours, unqualified (timing starts from date of last landing)
between 39 months (at the end of a non-flying assignment) or 51 months (at the end of a flying assignment) and
8 years. Or, previous F-16 pilot with less than 750 F-16 flying hours, unqualified more than 12 months and less than
8 years.
(2) Physiological training IAW AFI 11-403 (current for the duration of the course).

Section G. Ground and Academic Training — See Chapter 3 for ground and academic training information.
9-19. General Flying Training Instructions — Chapter 5, paragraph 5-1 applies with the following exceptions:
a. The following events must first be accomplished with an IP in the RCP. In order to be cleared solo for these
events, students must achieve and maintain a minimum grade of “1,” except where noted.
(1) If solo clearance event is attempted, but not received on the indicated sortie, the next sortie should be flown
dual to allow the event to be accomplished and solo clearance received. If a solo clearance event was
accomplished to solo-clearance standards on a mission that was graded overall “Non-Effective,” then the FS/DO
will determine if a D-model is required to complete the repeat of this mission.
(2) Solo clearance will be revoked if a student receives a grade of “0” or “D” on any of the solo clearance
events listed above after receiving solo clearance. The student must accomplish the task dual and receive at least
a “1” to regain solo clearance.
(3) F-16 solo clearance on TR-4 requires VFR patterns, landings, and SFOs to be graded at least a “1.”
9-20. TR Phase — See Chapter 5, Section B, for general TR Phase special instructions, along with the following:
(1) If unable to complete the minimum, squadron supervision will document the unaccomplished task / event in
the GTIMS gradebook and on the end-of-course Training Summary (AETC Form 904) to highlight the shortfall.
(2) Subevents (HUD-off as No. 3 or No. 4 / straight-in/random entry / etc. count for total of overall event
(SFO / landing / etc).
9-21. AH Phase — See Chapter 5, Section C, for general AH Phase special instructions.
9-22. A-A Phase — See Chapter 5, Section D, for general A-A Phase special instructions.
9-23. A-S Phase — See Chapter 5, Section E, for general A-S Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. If TGP is not available, IAMs or unguided bombs may be employed in place of Paveway II.
Note: UGB is a combined event. Any combination of hits in the weapons events listed under UGB satisfies this training
requirement.
c. TX Track 3 students are requalified LOWAT Category I (500 ft AGL) following SA-1.
d. TX Track 3 students must fly at least one LATF event in the wing position (either line abreast or wedge
formation).
Combined Wingman Syllabus (56 FW) April 2014 237
Chapter 10
10-3. Course Objective — Provides F-16C/D proficiency and/or qualification in the appropriate mission tasks for senior
officers, test pilots, and pilots requiring basic aircraft qualification. SOC Track 1 is designed to be tailored to the individual
training needs of senior officers (O-6 and above, including selectees), test pilots, or pilots requiring basic aircraft
qualification based on unit requirements. The course WILL be scheduled to last as long as listed in the track duration. If a
shorter course duration is required, a shorter track (Track 1A or B) will be entered prior to course start, after approval by
AETC/A3.
10-5. Duration — 23 training days (9 ground, 14 flying training days) comprising: academics and training devices, basic
aircraft qualification, two theater A-A, and two theater A-G missions. Actual duration of the course varies depending on the
desired proficiency and/or qualifications. With a full program of optional academics and sorties, a SOC Track 1E and 1F
will take 41 days planned but no less than 32 days with schedule compression. SEAD training requires an additional
3 training days.
10-6. Status Upon Graduation — SOC Track 1 is broken into six sub-tracks. All SOC Track 1 graduates (except SOC
Track 1A) fulfill all IQT requirements contained in AFI 11-2F-16V1 and are issued an AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew
Qualification, after completion of the Instrument / Qualification (I/Q) Evaluation. Specifically, SOC Track 1 graduates
(N/A for SOC 1F) will be proficient in the milestone tasks listed in paragraph 10-17 and will:
a. SOC Track 1A — Receive basic systems academics, training devices, and be familiar with normal and
emergency procedures.
b. SOC Track 1B — Receive basic aircraft qualification fulfilling all IQT requirements contained in
AFI 11-2F-16V1.
c. SOC Track 1C — Achieve ACBT currency and be familiar with air-to-air (A-A) weapons employment, basic
fighter maneuvers, and intercepts.*
d. SOC Track 1D — Be familiar with low level navigation / formation and conventional range procedures.*
f. SOC Track 1F — Receive qualifications listed specifically in c – e above in addition to optional selected
training.*
*Note: For SOC Track 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F specific qualifications may vary based on theater sorties required. The
theater optional sorties are desired to complete qualification. Additional theater optional sorties should be
coordinated through the 56 OG/CC or 54 FG/CC and HQ AETC.
a. Flight experience — 500 hours or two years operational experience in fighter aircraft.
(2) Physiological training IAW AFI 11-403 (current for the duration of the course).
a. SOC 1F is designed to provide additional or specialized training to senior officers due to gaining unit
requirements. If additional training is not required beyond SOC 1C, 1D, or 1E, then SOC 1F is not applicable.
b. Approval of SOC 1F training must be coordinated prior to the first flight through AETC/A3. All attempts should
be made to coordinate required training with AETC/A3 and the gaining unit prior to class start in coordination.
c. When optional SOC 1F FLUG sorties are flown, the lineup will be in accordance with this syllabus except P and
IP will change to allow the UP to lead. While the overall mission type should not change, milestone tasks do not
apply to SOC 1F. Also, asterisked mission tasks are desired, but not required for SOC 1F. The first two sorties in the
flow (A-A-1 and SA-12) are to be flown on the wing as top-off training (if required) prior to entering flight lead
upgrade training in the follow-on sorties.
d. To certify as a flight lead out of the SOC 1F, AFI 11-2F-16V1 minimum requirements must be met. Hours entry
requirements for the FLUG are waived as long as SOC 1F training directly follows SOC 1C/1D/1E completion.
56 OG/CC or 54 FG/CC will identify the appropriate level for the certifying official.

Section G. Ground and Academic Training — See Chapter 3 for ground and academic training information.
10-20. General Flying Training Instructions — Chapter 5, paragraph 5-1 applies with the following exceptions:
(2) Track 1B is basic aircraft qualification which provides basic instrument qualification or requalification in
the F-16. All sorties in this track must be accomplished before flying any other track.
(3) Track 1C is A-A orientation. BFM is mandatory for regaining ABCT currency. AA-1 sortie may vary in
mission profile.
(4) Track 1D is A-S orientation. SA is mandatory for LOWAT Category 1 certification. SA-12 sortie may vary
in mission profile.
(6) Track 1F is an optional track intended to supplement Track 1C, 1D, or 1E allowing specialized training and
flight lead sorties. Unless noted, events, clearances, and all special syllabus requirements follow the prescribed
base track (1C, 1D, or 1E) then add 1F sorties as required.
b. The following events must first be accomplished with an IP in the RCP. In order to be cleared solo for these
events, students must achieve and maintain a minimum grade of “1,” except where noted.
(1) If solo clearance event is attempted, but not received on the indicated sortie, the next sortie should be flown
dual to allow the event to be accomplished and solo clearance received. If a solo clearance event was
accomplished to solo-clearance standards on a mission that was graded overall “Non-Effective,” then the FS/DO
will determine if a D-model is required to complete the repeat of this mission.
(2) Solo clearance will be revoked if a student receives a grade of “0” on any of the solo clearance events listed
above after receiving solo clearance. The student must accomplish the task dual and receive at least a “1” to
regain solo clearance.
(3) A student who is cleared solo for night air refueling will automatically be cleared solo for day air refueling
(if not previously cleared solo).
(4) F-16 solo clearance on TR-3 requires VFR patterns, landings, and SFOs to be graded at least a “1.”

10-21. TR Phase — See Chapter 5, Section B, for general TR Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Students will fly at least two (each) non-precision approaches, precision approaches, and SFOs before TR-5.
(1) If unable to complete the minimum, squadron supervision will document the unaccomplished task / event in
the GTIMS gradebook and on the end-of-course Training Summary (AETC Form 904) to highlight the shortfall.
10-22. AH Phase — See Chapter 5, Section C, for general AH Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Sorties may be flown in a D-model (IP in RCP) as required due to mission complexity or proficiency.
10-23. A-A Phase — See Chapter 5, Section D, for general A-A Phase special instructions.
10-24. A-S Phase — See Chapter 5, Section E, for general A-S Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Student may achieve familiarization (FAM) in any event. Do not fly additional sorties beyond the course limit to
achieve qualification.
b. The student’s first SA sortie will be in a D-model. This does not include SOC 1F.
(1) Student must accomplish low-altitude awareness training before flying LATN / LATF solo.

Section G. Ground and Academic Training — See Chapter 3 for ground and academic training information.
12-19. General Flying Training Instructions — Chapter 5, paragraph 5-1 applies with the following exceptions:
a. Day and night air refueling is desired, however, a minimum of one air refueling is required for course
completion. Air refueling may be accomplished on any sortie after TR-5.
b. The following events must first be accomplished with an IP in the RCP. In order to be cleared solo for these
events, students must achieve and maintain a minimum grade of “1,” except where noted.
(1) If solo clearance event is attempted, but not received on the indicated sortie, the next sortie should be flown
dual to allow the event to be accomplished and solo clearance received. If a solo clearance event was
accomplished to solo-clearance standards on a mission that was graded overall “Non-Effective,” then the FS/DO
will determine if a D-model is required to complete the repeat of this mission.
(2) Solo clearance will be revoked if a student receives a grade of “0” on any of the solo clearance events listed
above after receiving solo clearance. The student must accomplish the task dual and receive at least a “1” to
regain solo clearance.
(3) A student who is cleared solo for night air refueling will automatically be cleared solo for day air refueling
(if not previously cleared solo).
(4) F-16 solo clearance on TR-3 requires VFR patterns, landings, and SFOs to be graded at least a “1.”
12-20. TR Phase — See Chapter 5, Section B, for general TR Phase special instructions, along with the following:
a. Students will fly at least two (each) non-precision approaches, precision approaches, and SFOs before TR-5.
(1) If unable to complete the minimum, squadron supervision will document the unaccomplished task / event in
the GTIMS gradebook and on the end-of-course Training Summary (AETC Form 904) to highlight the shortfall.
12-21. AH Phase — See Chapter 5, Section C, for general AH Phase special instructions.
12-22. A-A Phase — See Chapter 5, Section D, for general A-A Phase special instructions.
