EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This C-20D/G Aircraft Navy Training System Plan provides an overview of the C-20D/G Aircraft program and its concepts for operation, support, manpower, and training. The C-20D Gulfstream III and C-20G Gulfstream IV Aircraft is a derivative of the off-the-shelf, Federal Aviation Administration certified aircraft. The C-20D/G Aircraft program is in Phase III (Production, Fielding, Deployment, and Operational Support) of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. The latest C-20D/G Aircraft modifications include: Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System, Dual Flight Management System, Dual 12-Channel Global Positioning System, and Improved Automatic Flight Control System.
The C-20D Aircraft provides air transportation for high priority executive personnel and baggage. The C-20D Aircraft inventory consists of two aircraft; both aircraft are assigned to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron One (VR-1), Naval Air Facility (NAF) Washington, D.C.
The C-20G Aircraft is a logistic support aircraft designed for the transportation of passengers and cargo in support of Navy Unique Fleet Essential Airlift mission requirements. The C-20G Aircraft inventory currently consists of five aircraft. Two C-20G Aircraft are assigned to VR-48, NAF Washington, D.C., and two aircraft are assigned to VR-51, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. C-20G Aircraft Bureau number 165153, while attached to Marine Aircraft Support Detachment NAF Washington, D.C., and on deployment in Florida, received extensive damage from a tornado in March 1998, and is undergoing repair at the contractor's facility in Cahokia, Illinois. This aircraft is scheduled to return to a flying status in June 2001 and be transferred to MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
Temporary Active Duty (TAR) Naval Pilots operate the C-20D Aircraft located at VR-1. Both TAR and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Naval Pilots operate the C-20G Aircraft located at VR-48 and VR-51. Active Duty Navy personnel at VR-1 perform organizational level maintenance and limited intermediate level maintenance, while TAR and SELRES personnel perform organizational level maintenance and limited intermediate level maintenance at VR-48. Full depot level maintenance is provided by a Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) contract at VR-1 and VR-48. VR-51 uses CLS for full organizational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance.
All C-20D/G Pilot and maintenance training is provided by Flight Safety International located in Savannah, Georgia, and Long Beach, California. Commander Fleet Wing Support Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, provides C-20G Fixed Wing Loadmaster (R-553-3000) training.

PREFACE
This Draft Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) has been developed to update the Approved C-20G Logistics Aircraft Navy Training Plan, A-50-9306/A, dated March 1994. This document has been updated to comply with guidelines set forth in the Navy Training Requirements Documentation Manual, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) Publication P-751-1-9-97.
This NTSP provides the latest information about the C-20D/G Aircraft, including training, manpower, aircraft modifications, schedules, and points of contact. The C-20D/G Aircraft has incorporated the following major modifications since the last C-20 Aircraft NTSP was approved: Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), Dual Flight Management System (FMS), Improved Global Positioning System (GPS), and Improved Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS).
At this time, there are several action items being reviewed concerning the C-20D and C-20G programs. Specifically, following a Maintenance Training Requirements Review held in August 2000, Commander Naval Air Reserve Force (COMNAVAIRESFOR) was tasked with establishing C-20D and C-20G organizational maintenance technician pipelines. C-20D/G organizational maintenance courses are currently contracted through Flight Safety International (FSI) and taught in Savannah, Georgia. Course Identification Numbers (CIN) are also in the process of being established or modified. Also, pending final approval, C-20G organizational maintenance technicians will be awarded Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 8314 after successful completion of FSI courses. A possible new NEC for C-20D organizational maintenance technicians is also being reviewed.
COMNAVAIRESFOR is the Aircraft Controlling Custodian for all United States Naval Reserve and Marine Corps aircraft at Naval Air Facility (NAF) Washington, D.C., and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Pending final authorization, C-20G Aircraft Bureau Number 165153 is scheduled to be transferred from Marine Aircraft Support Detachment (MASD), NAF Washington, to MCAS Kaneohe Bay, thus becoming a Commander, Naval Air Pacific (COMNAVAIRPAC) asset.

3. New Development Introduction
a. C-20D. In 1984, the United States Air Force competed and awarded a contract to GAC for lease with the option to buy C-20 aircraft. In 1986, the Navy was authorized to procure two C-20 Aircraft to replace the aging TA-3B Aircraft. This requirement was to be satisfied through participation in the Air Force C-20 program. Two C-20D Aircraft were purchased and delivered to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR-1) NAF Washington, D.C., in 1987.
b. C-20G. The C-20G Aircraft was a new manufacture, commercial transport type airplane manufactured by GAC. Initiation of the C-20G Aircraft procurement process began with the submission of the initial procurement request in May 1991 followed by a contract being awarded in March 1992. Five C-20G Aircraft were delivered in 1995.
4. Significant Interfaces. The existing Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (COMBS) at NAF Washington, D.C., is operated as a joint United States Air-Force-Navy-Army facility. The COMBS facility is augmented as required to include Navy support requirements. The contractor established and maintains a maintenance data collection system. This system, the GAC Computerized Maintenance Program (CMP), includes on-site Electronic Data Transmittal capability. The government has access capability for review and extraction of the CMP data. The COMBS system also ensures the availability of all support equipment required for aircraft maintenance for the C-20D/G. Full-service C-20G COMBS and CMP capabilities are also available at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. The C-20D and C-20G Aircraft have recently incorporated modifications, which include:
a. Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System. The TCAS-2000 warns the Pilot of traffic conflicts and gives guidance to avoid collision. It is a requirement for European airspace operations. The system features enhanced sensitivity and detection range, increased processor speed, and lower weight, while enabling future TCAS upgrades. The TCAS is an instrument integrated into other C-20D/G systems in the aircraft cockpit. It consists of hardware and software that together provide a set of electronic eyes so that the Pilot can see the traffic situation in the vicinity of the aircraft. Part of the TCAS capability is a display showing the Pilot the relative positions and velocities of aircraft up to 40 miles away. The instrument sounds an alarm when it determines that another aircraft will pass too closely to the subject aircraft. TCAS provides a backup to the Air Traffic Control system's regular separation processes. The system determines the course of each approaching aircraft, climbing, descending, or flying straight and level. TCAS then issues a resolution advisory advising the Pilot to execute an evasive maneuver necessary to avoid the other aircraft, such as climb or descend. TCAS 2000 was installed in all C-20D/G Aircraft in FY99.
b. Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System. The EGPWS is a terrain awareness and warning system that incorporates terrain alerting and display functions. These functions use aircraft geographic position, aircraft altitude, and the terrain database to predict potential conflicts between the aircraft's flight path and the terrain, and to provide graphic displays of the conflicting terrain. The C-20D utilizes the EGPWS Mark III configuration while the C-20G Aircraft uses the Mark V version. EGPWS was installed in all C-20D/G Aircraft in FY99.
c. Global Positioning System. The GPS modification included the installation of a 12-channel receiver. The Global Navigation Satellite System Unit (GNSSU) offers precise position and guidance information and enhanced approach capability using the GPS. The 12-channel receiver tracks all satellites in view, which could be as many as 12, to provide precise position determination. Advanced multiple positions correlator signal processing gives the GNSSU fast satellite acquisition and enhanced satellite tracking capabilities.
d. Flight Management System. Both the C-20D and C-20G Aircraft incorporate the FMZ-2000 FMS, but utilize different configurations. The FMS provides lateral and vertical navigation guidance for display and coupling to the AFCS. The system provides high accuracy, long-range navigation and the navigation computer connects to the inertial reference system. The C-20D/G FMS was installed in FY99.
(1) C-20D Unique Modifications. The installation of the FMS was interfaced with the existing EFIS. The EFIS-10 is an electronic instrument system that displays digital information from avionics subsystems. It allows the flight crew to easily view navigation, weather radar, landing, and other vital flight information via two display units, one symbol generator, and an EFIS control panel. The display units, like computer monitors, provide visual information to the flight crew from the symbol generator. Crews select the particular subsystem to display using the EFIS control panel.
(2) C-20G Unique Modifications. The installation of the FMS was interfaced with the existing Electronic Display System (EDS). The EDS-884 provides the flight crew with complete flight path, navigation, engine, and systems information. Specifically, the EDS displays heading, course, radio bearing, pitch and roll attitude, barometric altitude, calibrated airspeed, selected alert altitude, vertical speed, angle of attack, radio altitude, lateral and vertical deviation, engine parameters, weather advisories, and caution and advisory indications. EDS consists of the EFIS, Engine Instrument, and Crew Alerting System.
(3) SPZ-8000 Digital Automatic Flight Control System. The C-20G incorporates the SPZ-8000 Digital Automatic Flight Control System (DAFCS). The SPZ-8000 provides "fail-operational" execution of flight director guidance, autopilot, yaw damper, and trim functions. "Fail-operational" is defined as a fault or failure of a system component that causes an automatic switch to an identical backup component without any interruption in the system operation. Automatic path mode commands are generated by a flight guidance DAFCS computer which integrates the attitude and heading reference, air data, weather radar, radio altimeter, EDS, and FMS into a complete aircraft control system. The system provides the stabilization and control needed to ensure optimum performance throughout the aircraft flight regime.
H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept
a. C-20D. The C-20D Aircraft is operated by two Pilots and a Crew Chief. Aircrewman and/or Flight Stewards (special assignment) are added as required.
b. C-20G. The C-20G Aircraft is operated by two Pilots and a Crew Chief. A Flight Attendant and Loadmaster are added as required.
2. Maintenance Concept. The maintenance concept for the C-20D/G Aircraft is based on the three levels of maintenance as stated in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790.2 (series). For the C-20D/G Aircraft program, OPNAVINST 4790.2 series is utilized for general policies and reporting procedures only. Organizational maintenance is provided by contractor personnel at MASD, NAF Washington, D.C., and at VR-51 located at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Overhaul and repair of contractor furnished equipment is handled via FAA approved sources and meets serviceability, inspection criteria, and functional test requirements of the FAA and component manufacturer. When applicable, repaired items will show evidence of FAA certification. The contractor is required to support the Operational Readiness goals of 85% Full Mission Capable rate, including 75 flight hours per month per aircraft for the C-20D and 125 flight hours per month per aircraft for the C-20G. The C-20D/G Aircraft maintenance concept is performed in accordance with the requirements and procedures prescribed by GAC, utilizing the CMP. The only Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) is the Communication Security Equipment (COMSEC). If GFE COMSEC is removed for repair, the contractor will record removal and installation data, and return unserviceable items to the operating squadron or detachment for repair.
a. Organizational. Navy personnel at VR-1 and VR-48, NAF Washington, D.C., perform C-20D/G organizational level maintenance. Active Duty (ACDU) personnel at VR-1 and Training and Administration of Reserves (TAR) and Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel at VR-48 perform organizational level maintenance. Organizational level maintenance is performed by Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) contract at MASD, NAF Washington, and VR-51 MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. When the MASD aircraft is transferred to MCAS Kaneohe Bay, organizational level maintenance will continue to be performed by CLS.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. C-20D/G preventative maintenance consists of standard pre-flight and post-flight inspections, and regular calendar and flight hour corrosion and material inspections in accordance with the Maintenance Requirements Cards.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. C-20D/G corrective maintenance consists of fault isolation to a defective Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA) or Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA), removal and replacement of defective WRAs or SRAs, and verification of the repair using built-in test equipment, the appropriate test sets, or common support equipment. WRAs and SRAs requiring repair beyond the capability of the organizational level are forwarded to the appropriate COMBS for replacement and/or repair.
b. Intermediate. The C-20D/G intermediate maintenance is performed in accordance with the requirements and procedures prescribed by GAC utilizing the CMP and as directed by the Navy Program Office (PMA207). Military personnel perform limited intermediate maintenance at VR-1 and VR-48 NAF Washington. Limited intermediate level maintenance is comprised of wheel and tire build-up, battery check and servicing, survival equipment servicing, and oxygen and life raft checks. The contractor provides full C-20D/G intermediate level maintenance for all MCAS Kaneohe Bay aircraft.
c. Depot. The contractor at a FAA licensed facility performs all depot level maintenance. Currently, Midcoast Aviation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabreliner Corporation, provides depot maintenance, repair, and painting services at St. Louis Downtown Parks Airport, Cahokia, Illinois. All depot level maintenance modifications, inspections, and rework are accomplished at this facility.
d. Interim Maintenance. GAC contractor field service personnel maintaining the C-20G Aircraft at MCAS Kaneohe Bay provide technical support and field team assistance. Field team assistance is defined as those occasions when contractor personnel are dispatched at the government's request to a location other than the contractor's facility for the purpose of accomplishing aircraft maintenance. Until October 2000, VR-1, NAF Washington, had a permanent C-20D GAC technical representative assigned to them, but due to the contract expiring, a C-20D technical representative is no longer readily available. "Drop-in" maintenance is also available for maintenance beyond the capability of the organizational level. "Drop-in" maintenance normally consists of modernization, modification, conversion, in-service repair, or other major maintenance actions that are performed at the contractor's facility.
e. Life Cycle Maintenance Plan. The Standard Depot Level Maintenance based maintenance philosophy was replaced with the Integrated Maintenance Concept in October 2000. GAC performs scheduled depot level maintenance at 72-month intervals and at the completion of 5,000 landings and every 2,000 landings thereafter, in accordance with GAC GIII and GIV maintenance manuals. Heavy engine maintenance is provided by Rolls-Royce of Canada. The C-20D/G engine mid-life inspection is performed at 4000 flight hours, while an engine overhaul is performed at 8000 flight hours. The C-20D/G Aircraft has an expected life of 20,000 flight hours and 20,000 ground-air-ground cycles flown to corporate aircraft usage spectra, except for those life-limited components identified in the C-20D/G maintenance manual that identify FAA approved retirement times.
3. Manning Concept. The C-20D/G Aircraft manpower requirements for Pilots and Aircrew are driven by the Required Operating Capability and Projected Operational Environment. The C-20D/G manpower requirements are as follows:

Manpower requirements shown in Part II for C-20D/G squadrons were extracted from the Total Force Manpower Management System (TFMMS) and Marine Corps Table of Organization (T/O) dated 22 February 2001. The Marine Corps personnel that will operate the C-20G Aircraft at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, will have various Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), but Pilots will require secondary MOS 7553 (C-20 Pilot). Marine Corps Crew Chiefs and Loadmasters do not require a specific MOS to operate the C-20G Aircraft.

4. Training Concept. All C-20D/G Aircraft on-going initial and recurrent Pilot, Crew Chief, and maintenance training is provided by a contract with FSI, located in Savannah, Georgia, and Long Beach, California. C-20D/G Aircraft organizational maintenance training is only available through FSI's Savannah training center. COMNAVAIRESFOR is in the process of establishing the following C-20D/G organizational maintenance technician pipelines:
- R-102-2017, C-20D Avionics/Electrical Initial
- R-601-2017, C-20D Powerplants/Airframes Initial
- R-102-2015, C-20G Avionics/Electrical Initial
- R-601-2015, C-20G Powerplants/Airframes Initial
Additional information on the approved pipelines, CINs, and stand- alone C-20D/G organizational maintenance courses will be included in future updates to this C-20D/G Aircraft NTSP.
The only course not provided by contract is C-20G Loadmaster training. C-20G Loadmasters attend R-553-3000, Fixed Wing Loadmaster Course, at Joint Reserve Base (JRB) Fort Worth, Texas. Although not a specific requirement, many Loadmasters attend an American Airline Emergency Egress Procedures three-day training course located in Dallas, Texas.
C-20D/G Crew Chiefs do not have their own training pipeline. Both C-20D and C-20G Crew Chiefs attend separate GIII and GIV Maintenance initial training. After 12 to 18 months in their respective commands, Crew Chiefs then attend Pilot Refresher Training conducted by FSI.
Pending final approval, maintenance personnel in the C-20G community receive NEC 8314 (formerly utilized by the C-20A Aircraft) after successfully completing required FSI courses. The C-20D community is also being reviewed for an aircraft specific NEC. COMNAVAIRESFOR student quota control numbers for the past two fiscal years indicate the only course (excluding Pilot and Aircrewmen) VR-1 personnel have attended is the C-20D Maintenance Initial course. Due in part to C-20D Aircraft maintenance personnel requiring no NEC, combined with a VR-1 squadron tour of 24 months for enlisted E-4 and below (36 months for E-5 and above), VR-1 organizational level maintenance training depends primarily on On-the-Job Training.
a. Initial Training. Due to the damaged C-20G Aircraft assigned to MASD NAF Washington, D.C., being in a non-flying status for the last three years and the aircraft's scheduled transfer to MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, in June 2001, C-20G Marine Corps Pilots require training. A total of five Marine Corps Pilots will attend C-20G GIV Initial Pilot Training at FSI, Long Beach. Three Pilots completed training in November 2000, one is scheduled to begin in May 2001, and the last will attend in December 2001. These Marine Corps Pilots will come from different aircraft platforms, but will hold secondary MOS 7553 (C-20 Aircraft).
A total of four Marine Corps Crew Chiefs will attend maintenance initial training at FSI, Savannah, while four Marine Corps Loadmasters will attend initial Fixed Wing Loadmaster Training in Fort Worth, Texas. Two C-20G Crew Chiefs will attend maintenance initial training in March 2001, one in July 2001, and the final Crew Chief will attend training in January 2002. Two C-20G Loadmasters will attend training in February 2001, one in August 2001, and the final Loadmaster will attend training in January 2002.

I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING
1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development
a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. The Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP) is used to establish an effective and efficient training system responsive to fleet training requirements. MTIP is a training management tool that, through diagnostic testing, identifies individual training deficiencies at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. MTIP is the comprehensive testing of one's knowledge. It consists of a bank of test questions managed through automated data processing. MTIP will be replaced by the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS). Current planning is for AMTCS to begin full implementation for fleet deployment in FY02.
b. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. AMTCS will provide career path training to the Sailor or Marine from their initial service entry to the end of their military career. AMTCS is planned to be an integrated system that will satisfy the training and administrative requirements of both the individual and the organization. The benefits will be manifested in the increased effectiveness of the technicians and the increased efficiencies of the management of the training business process. By capitalizing on technological advances and integrating systems and processes where appropriate, the right amount of training can be provided at the right time, thus meeting the CNO's mandated "just-in-time" training approach.
Technology investments enable the development of several state-of-the-art training and administrative tools: Interactive Multimedia Instruction for the technicians in the Fleet in the form of Interactive Courseware with Computer Managed Instruction and Computer Aided Instruction for the schoolhouse.
Included in the AMTCS development effort is the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System - Software Module (ASM) which provides testing [Test and Evaluation (TEV)], recording [Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ)], and a Feedback system. The core functionality of these AMTCS tools are based and designed around the actual maintenance-related tasks the technicians perform, and the tasks are stored and maintained in a Master Task List data bank. These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate Commercial Off The Shelf hardware and software, i.e., Fleet Training Devices - Laptops, Personal Computers, Electronic Classrooms, Learning Resource Centers, operating software, and network software and hardware.
Upon receipt of direction from OPNAV (N789H), AMTCS is to be implemented and the new tools integrated into the daily training environment of all participating aviation activities and supporting elements. AMTCS will serve as the standard training system for aviation maintenance training within the Navy and Marine Corps, and is planned to supersede the existing MTIP and Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP) programs.
2. Personnel Qualification Standards. Aircrew Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) are used to ensure C-20D/G Aircraft proficiency. The PQS program for Flight Crew personnel is managed by the PQS Development Group (Code 34) of the Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center, Pensacola, Florida.
3. Other Onboard or In-Service Training Packages. Marine Corps onboard training is based on the current series of Marine Corps Order P4790.12, Individual Training Standards System and Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP). This program is designed to meet Marine Corps, as well as Navy OPNAVINST 4790.2 series, maintenance training requirements. It is a performance-based, standardized, level-progressive, documentable, training management and evaluation program. It identifies and prioritizes task inventories by MOS through a front-end analysis process that identifies task, skill, and knowledge requirements of each MOS. MTIP questions coupled to MATMEP tasks will help identify training deficiencies that can be enhanced with refresher training. (MATMEP is planned to be replaced by AMTCS.)
