PREFACE
This training circular is the capstone for the ATM-series publications. Based on the battle-focused training principles outlined in FM 25-101, it will help commanders at all levels to develop, implement, and administer a comprehensive aircrew training program.
This manual encompasses individual and crew training and establishes crew member qualification, refresher, mission, and continuation training requirements. It also gives guidance on tailoring training to meet individual, crew, and unit needs based on the unit METL. It provides guidelines for predicting and allocating unit flying hours to ensure that the commander gets the greatest possible training value out of every flying hour. This manual applies to all unit commanders who have aviation assets.
The crew coordination descriptions in this publication do not focus exclusively on individual training. They blend individual training with crew training and provide a link to field manuals, ARTEP mission training plans, and other doctrinal and training material. The goal is to develop cohesive, combat-ready aviation units.
The new record keeping system described in Chapter 3 reduces the administrative workload of unit standardization personnel. Paragraphs 3-19, 3-20, and 3-21 replace Chapter 9 of the current ATMs. This new record keeping system will be added to each of the ATMs during the normal revision cycle.
