1.0 ACTC Instruction Summary

1. 
   ACTC establishes, in conjunction with OPNAVINST 3710.7, the COMACCLOGWING standards for the qualification of fleet C-2A pilots. This program augments existing squadron training programs. Due to the variations in operating environments and tactical procedures, the Commanding Officer may add specific training requirements.
   

2. 
   ACTC establishes the standard of knowledge, skill, and performance required to operate the C-2A aircraft in all operational environments. The program defines functional skill levels to be attained in the process of qualifying Level 4 C-2A Instructor Carrier Transport Plane Commander’s (ICTPC’s) which have the ability to sign off curriculum through Level4.
   

3. 
   Essential to the success of the program is the oral and written debrief of every event and the periodic review of those events at a Progress Review Board (PRB) consisting of all squadron CTPC’s. Critical to that progress is the written report of those results and the Commanding Officer’s comments to each pilot under training.
   

4. 
   The following Pilot ACTC designation qualifications have been set:
   

Level 1 Carrier Transport 3rd Pilot (CT3P)

Level 2 Carrier Transport 2nd Pilot (CT2P)

Level 3 TPC/CTPC

Level 4 ICTPC/FCF

5. 
   This notebook will provide the documentation for signoffs.
   

2.0 Level 1: 3rd Pilot (CT3P)
