NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN
FOR THE
C-40A AIRCRAFT
N88-NTSP-A-50-9901/P
FEBRUARY 2001
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The C-40A Clipper will be a modified Boeing 737-700C Aircraft. The C-40A will fulfill U. S. Navy fleet essential airlift requirements by providing medium lift, intra-theater transportation of passengers, cargo, or a combination of both. The C-40A is being procured as a replacement for the Naval Reserve's C-9B and DC-9 Logistics Aircraft. Currently, six C-40As are under contract with deliveries beginning in FY01. One more additional aircraft was included in the FY01 budget across the Future Years Defense Plan. Additional aircraft are expected in the Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) FY02 budget. The first squadron to transition to the C-40A will be Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR)-59, located at Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, and the second will be VR-58, located at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. The program is currently in Acquisition Phase II (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is anticipated upon delivery of the first aircraft in April 2001.
The C-40A maintenance concept will be the same as the current maintenance concept for C-9B and DC-9 Aircraft. VRs and Marine Transport Squadron One (VMR-1) will perform organizational level maintenance in support of their own aircraft. Depot level maintenance will be performed by contracted maintenance support. No intermediate level maintenance will be established.
Manpower requirements for the C-40A are expected to be approximately the same as its predecessors, the C-9B and DC-9, with minimal changes. The C-40A will be supported by Navy Training and Administration of Reserves (TAR) personnel and augmented by Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel.
Active duty personnel currently support VMR-1. The Table of Organization for VMR-1 will be updated to support the C-40A prior to delivery to the Marine Corps. Minimal changes are expected to manpower requirements. Since a delivery schedule has not been determined beyond the first four aircraft to the Navy, VMR-1 billets have not been depicted in Part II, but will be included in updates to this Navy Training System Plan (NTSP).
Commercial contractors will conduct Pilot and enlisted Aircrew training. Commercial contractors will also provide initial organizational maintenance training for TAR personnel. All follow-on training for Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) attainment (TAR and SELRES) will be contractor conducted formal training per the Maintenance Training Requirements Review (MTRR) of March 1999 and August 2000. Computer-Based Training (CBT) will be used for refresher training. This information will be further detailed in revisions to this NTSP as it becomes available.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Operational Uses. The C-40A Clipper, hereafter referred to as the C-40A, will be a Boeing 737-700C Aircraft. The C-40A will fulfill U.S. Navy fleet essential airlift requirements by providing medium lift, intra-theater transportation of passengers, cargo, or a combination of both. The C-40A is being procured as a replacement for the Naval Reserve's C-9B and DC-9 Logistics Aircraft. Currently, five aircraft are under contract with deliveries beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 01. Two additional aircraft were included in the FY01 budget across the Future Years Defense Plan. Additional aircraft are expected in the POM-02 budget.
2. Foreign Military Sales. Boeing has orders for the 737-700 Aircraft from other commercial airline companies in the United States and foreign countries; however, no plans for Foreign Military Sales have been made to date.
E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. The Boeing 737-700C Aircraft will be Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type-Certified prior to acceptance by the Navy as the C-40A. The first C-40A is scheduled for delivery in April 2001. Developmental and Operational Tests will not be required.

H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept. The Naval Air Reserve Force's Fleet Logistics Support (VR) Squadrons will operate the C-40A at various Naval Air Stations and Joint Reserve Bases (JRB).
The C-40A crew will consist of a Pilot, Co-pilot, Crew Chief, Loadmaster, and two or three Flight Attendants. The enlisted aircrew's NECs will remain the same during the transition from C-9B and DC-9 aircraft to the C-40A. C-40A specific NEC for Crew Chief has been requested and is currently being established for approval. It is listed as 82XX throughout this NTSP, and will be updated in subsequent revisions to this document. The table below depicts the enlisted Aircrew's position title, NEC, and source ratings.

2. Maintenance Concept. The C-40A maintenance concept will be the same as the current maintenance concept for the C-9B and DC-9 Aircraft. VR squadrons will perform organizational level maintenance in support of their own aircraft. Depot level maintenance will be performed by contracted maintenance support. No intermediate level maintenance will be established.
a. Organizational. The operating unit will perform C-40A organizational level maintenance actions on a day-to-day basis in support of its own operations. These actions encompass inspections, servicing, handling, removal and replacement of Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA) and major aircraft components, equipment corrective maintenance, and incorporation of selected technical directives. Aviation maintenance ratings with NEC 8313 will perform organizational level maintenance. Contractor personnel will provide dedicated material support to the squadrons through the CLF located at each operating site.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. Periodic inspections and servicing of equipment will be accomplished per Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) Task Cards.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. Corrective maintenance will consist of removing and replacing WRAs aboard the C-40A. Faulty WRAs and components will be returned to the material support contractor for repair. Organizational level maintenance personnel may be authorized, in approved publications, to initiate repairs such as stop drilling of airframe skin cracks and blending of minor nicks in engine fan blades per the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790.2G.
b. Intermediate. NA
c. Depot. Depot level maintenance actions are those requiring major repair, overhaul, or a complete rebuilding, manufacturing, or modification of parts, assemblies, subassemblies, and end items including engines, support equipment, and technical directives. Depot level maintenance will be accomplished at a contractor's facility, or by a contractor field team.
d. Interim Maintenance. Boeing will provide interim maintenance support for three years from delivery of the first Boeing 737-700C. The Navy Support Date (NSD) is expected to be achieved April 2001.
e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The life-cycle maintenance plan for the C-40A will be delivered with the aircraft in second quarter FY01.
3. Manning Concept. Qualitative and quantitative manpower requirements for the C-40A will be driven by the organizational level preventive and corrective maintenance workload, Required Operational Capabilities (ROC), and Projected Operational Environment (POE) requirements. Manpower requirements for the C-40A are expected to be approximately the same as its predecessors, the C-9B and DC-9, with a minimum of changes.
The C-40A will be supported by Training and Administration of Reserves (TAR) personnel and augmented by Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel. The Activity Manpower Document (AMD) for VR-59 dated November 17, 1999 has been used in Part II of this NTSP as representative squadron manning for C-40A planning purposes. AMDs for each Navy C-40A squadron will be developed later, using C-40A ROC and POE requirements, when that data is available.
4. Training Concept. The overall Boeing training philosophy is to provide the Navy with training comparable to the pro forma training provided to its other commercial customers. The Reserve C-9B/DC-9 squadron, VR-59, located at JRB Fort Worth, Texas, began transitioning to the C-40A in FY01. Commercial contractors will conduct Pilot and enlisted Aircrew training. Commercial contractors will also provide initial and follow-on organizational level maintenance training for TAR and SELRES personnel. SELRES and TAR personnel will attend the appropriate rating specific course for award of NEC 8313. Specific guidelines for NEC attainment are contained in NAVPERS 18068F Volume II, Chapter IV, Navy Enlisted Classifications. Requirements for Reserve Job Qualification Requirements and On-the-Job Training syllabus developed by Commander, Fleet Logistics Support Wing (COMFLELOGSUPPWING) are detailed in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, OPNAVINST 4790.2G.
a. Initial Training. The training courses outlined below are commercial air carrier courses for the Boeing 737-700, taught by Flight Safety Boeing Training International (FSBTI). Both flight and maintenance courses are commercial, on-going training, that has been in use for many years. The Boeing Training IPT will review all training material with emphasis on new Navy unique airplane systems, and will monitor test scores and class critiques to insure the quality of training. Few changes to the standard curriculum are anticipated. TAR personnel are scheduled to attend the FSBTI courses in FY01. Some courses have been modified from the commercial Boeing 737-700 curriculum to reduce training time. As a result, the course lengths depicted below have been reduced from the standard FSBTI commercial Boeing 737-700 curriculum, and were agreed upon by Commander, Naval Air Reserve Force (COMNAVAIRESFOR) (N386); Commander, Fleet Logistics Support Wing; and Boeing in June 1999. All maintenance courses include an introduction to the aircraft, technical manuals, common displays, and the Computer-Based Training (CBT) system. Training for the commercial Boeing 737-700 is currently available, and the C-40A was Ready For Training (RFT) in October 2000.
This commercial maintenance training is based on the FAA system of aircraft maintenance technicians being Airframes and Powerplants (A&P) certified. This system requires A&P technicians to be knowledgeable in all areas of an aircraft. FSBTI's Boeing 737-700 maintenance training is not based on a rating and NEC system such as the Navy's that specializes in specific areas of maintenance and type of aircraft (e.g., AD 8313). A C-40A training meeting was held in fourth quarter FY98. From this meeting it was determined that Boeing will provide Initial Training to a cadre of military personnel. Each rating will be represented during this Initial Training.
In addition, courses will be developed for Crew Chief and Loadmaster training since the commercial-use Boeing 737-700 does not require these positions. The Crew Chief course will be developed by combining pertinent parts of the Pilot training with aircraft systems training from the other courses, and will be eight weeks in length. FSBTI will provide space for up to 8 Crew Chief personnel to attend ground school and observe in the simulator training in conjunction with pilot training. The simulator observation is to follow a full-up Mechanical / Electrical & Avionics course. Only one Crew Chief will be allowed to observe at a time during pilot training.
A course for Loadmaster training will also be developed for the Navy. An action chit was assigned during the August 2000 ATRR to COMFLELOGSUPPWING to develop the curriculum for a Loadmaster pipeline course. A Course Identification Number (CIN) for this course will be assigned by OPNAV (N789F6) upon approval. Completion of this pipeline course will award NEC 8278.
The aircraft systems rigging course was established for after aircraft delivery and can be taught at any time up to two years after aircraft delivery. The current plan is to schedule this class later in the delivery schedule upon notification from the squadron and conduct the training coinciding with a Phase "C" inspection. This will allow the structures and power plant maintenance personnel time to gain a degree of proficiency in C-40A maintenance and familiarization with the aircraft prior to receiving this specialized training.
FSBTI Pilot training includes an interactive CBT system, simulators, and flight training. Prior to arrival at FSBTI for training, student Pilots will complete the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) Reduced Footprint training curriculum. BBJ is a home-based, interactive CBT didactic curriculum designed to reduce in-classroom time from thirty-five to approximately twenty days. Upon arrival at FSBTI, student Pilots will be tested, complete remedial training if necessary, then move directly into simulator training. Simulator training will be conducted in two phases, fixed and full simulation. Since Navy Pilot qualifications are based on NATOPS requirements, an Aircraft Type Rating (ATP) will not be awarded upon completion of this course. NATOPS qualification will take place at the parent command upon completion of the FSBTI curriculum.
Initial training has been structured as Initial Cadre training for the first squadron only, prior to the first aircraft delivery in April 2001. Boeing will provide line flying assistance at JRB Fort Worth for a maximum of 90 calendar days commencing with the delivery of the first aircraft for a period of 30 days to complete initial cadre initial operating experience. Up to 60 additional days will be provided on a schedule mutually agreed upon by Boeing and COMFLELOGSUPPWING. Initial training has not yet been defined for subsequent squadrons and is currently under development by COMNAVAIRESFOR (N36). As it becomes available, further information will be included in updates to this NTSP.

b. Follow-on Training. COMNAVAIRESFOR (N36) is currently evaluating formal organizational level maintenance, Pilot, and enlisted aircrew follow-on training. Current planning calls for both TAR and SELRES maintenance personnel to attend formal training for attainment of the C-40A NEC per the MTRRs of March 1999 and August 2000. Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) (3.4.3) is currently working with COMNAVAIRRESFOR to incorporate C-40A Aircrew Coordination Training (ACT) into the Command Aircraft Crew Training (CACT) contract. The C-40A (pilot) contract has been awarded to FSBTI (Boeing) and is in the final stages of course development. The C-40A (maintenance) Request for Proposals has been released and the Statement of Work has been submitted and approved by the Type Commander. Contract award is anticipated during the second quarter FY01. The C-40A CACT does not call for Navy specific ACT training. Contact NAWCTSD (3.4.3) for further information regarding the current status of the CACT contract.
CBT will be used for refresher training for maintenance personnel who have attended the contractor school. The CBT is anticipated to be RFT in second quarter FY02 and will be included in updates to this NTSP as it becomes available. There are no plans at this time to incorporate CBT for pilot refresher training. Contact COMNAVAIRESFOR (N36) for further information regarding the current status of CBT and CACT.
Note: Pilot follow-on training contract was awarded in January 2001 to FSBTI. A CIN has not yet been established for this course, and "E-C40-XXXX" has been used for tracking purposes in this document only. This CIN does not exist. This information will be updated in revisions to this NTSP as it becomes available.

Note: The CNO has approved mergers for these ratings, and they will be undergoing changes in course curriculum and CINs during FY00 and FY01. Refer to the appropriate Point of Contact listed in Part VII of this NTSP for the latest information regarding these rating mergers.
d. Training Pipelines. Training pipelines will be included in Navy Integrated Training Resources and Administration System (NITRAS) for the commercial schools once they are determined per COMNAVAIRRESFOR N721. Action chits were assigned at the August 2000 MTRR to develop Avionics/Electrical (AT/AE) and Mechanical/Airframes (AD, AM, AME, PR) maintenance training pipelines. Additionally, an action chit was assigned to establish a standalone F1 course, C-40A Boeing 737-700 Maintenance Manager Course. This course would be five days in length, and a CIN will be assigned by COMNAVAIRRESFOR upon contract approval.
I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING
1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development
a. Squadron Proficiency Training. For proficiency training, TAR personnel will use the same CBT system that will be procured for follow-on training for SELRES personnel at the squadrons.
b. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. NA
c. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. The 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 Chief of Naval Operations' mandated "just-in-time" training approach.
Technology investments enable the development of several state-of-the-art training and administrative tools: CBT for the technicians in the Fleet in the form of Interactive Courseware (ICW) with Computer Managed Instruction (CMI). Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) for the schoolhouse is not applicable to the C-40A Aircraft program.
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 (MTL) data bank. These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate COTS hardware and software, i.e., Fleet Training Devices (FTD) - Laptops, PCs, Electronic Classrooms (ECR), Learning Resource Centers (LRC), operating software, and network software and hardware.
Upon receipt of direction from COMNAVAIRESFOR (N7), 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. AMTCS implementation will begin with the F-14, E-2C, and all models of the F/A-18 aircraft. For more information on AMTCS refer to Program Manager, Air (PMA) 205-3D3.
