OSCO/001/17 WOC/900 Assessment

[ updated May 2017 ]

To all instructors and Naval Aviator Candidates,

WOC/900 Assessment 2017 [ HEX ]
Practical examination of Intermediate Flight Training [ IFTR ] - see here

This assessment has two parts; on the first part, the candidate is allowed a "weapon of choice" * (WOC), meaning he or she will perform the required drills in his or her own aircraft. On the second part, the exact same set of drills will be executed on a HT-28 TH-900 NOTAR.
Throughout all the tests the candidate's skills on procedure - from ground protocols to ATC and radio communications - will be evaluated.

The exam takes place between NASM and NSTC (1 to 3) and on FFH-69 (4).

WOC required drill set:
1. Set of 5 different types of landings at NASM using all patterns - 4 successful.
2. Set of 5 landings on a Dauntless class frigate pad - 3 successful.
3. GOTO NSTC. Navigate to NSTC. Landing at NSTC ends this drill. One attempt - One landing.
4. CVN-70 Take off & landing. 2 successful sets on the USS Defiant deck on 3 attempts.

 VT-10 T-2C required drill set:
1. Set of 5 different types of landings at NASM using all patterns - 4 successful.
2. Set of 5 landings on a Dauntless class frigate pad - 3 successful.
3. GOTO NASM. Navigate to NASM. Landing at NASM ends this drill. One attempt - One landing.
4. CVN-70 Take off & landing. 2 successful sets on the USS Defiant deck on 3 attempts.

Upon completion of the WOC/900 assessment the candidate will be H rated and assigned to VT-10 for fixed wing training in case the candidate wants fixed wing NA grade certification. The practical fixed wing portion of IFTR can be taken at any time after the HEX (rotary wing exam) but if more than 2 IFTR cycles go by after the VHO (oral exam common to fixed and rotary wings) the candidate needs a refresher of all theory classes - but no exam required, this because missing two cycles means a 20 week lapse between the VHO exam and the VEX exam.


Do the deed. Hooyah.
