To all instructors and Naval Aviator Candidates,
WOC/T2 Assessment 2017 [ VEX ]
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. If the WOC is a single seat, the evaluating officer will fly on the candidate's wing or remain on the ground while execution lasts; on the second part, the exact same set of drills will be executed on a VT-10 T-2C.
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 CVA-63 (4).
WOC required drill set:
1. Bounce set of 3 on NASM runway 18 L. Score and time evaluated.
2. NASM landing set of 3 over 85 score on runway 18 L. 85 score 3 landings out of possible 4.
3. GOTO NAFGO. Navigate to NAF Gorlanova. Landing at NAFGO ends this drill. One attempt.
4. CVN-70 Trap/Short landing. 2 successful landings on the USS Kitty Hawk deck on 3 attempts.
VT-10 T-2C required drill set:
1. CVN-70 Trap/Short landing. 1 successful landing on the USS Kitty Hawk deck on 1 attempt.
2. GOTO NASM. Navigate to NAS Miramar. Landing at NASM ends this drill. One attempt.
3. Bounce set of 3 on NASM runway 18 L. Score and time evaluated. Average above 85.
4. NASM landing set of 3 over 85 score on runway 18 L. 85 score 3 landings out of possible 5.
Upon completion of the WOC/T2 assessment the candidate will be V rated and assigned to HT-28 for rotor training in case the candidate wants Rotor NA grade certification. The practical rotary wing portion of IFTR can be taken at any time after the VEX (fixed 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 HEX exam.
Do the deed. Hooyah.
