The longest of these "pipelines" is the E-2 or C-2A pipeline, averaging over three years from initial pre-flight training to designation as a naval aviator. All pipelines include ground and flight training at numerous locations.
All Navy pilot trainees, whether Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, had to meet the same standards to become a Naval Aviator. Likewise, MarCads were eligible for the same training pipelines as all other trainees: jets, multi-engine, or helicopters.
A naval outlying landing field (NOLF) or naval auxiliary landing field (NALF) is an auxiliary airfield with no based units or aircraft, and minimal facilities. They are used as a low-traffic locations for flight training, without the risks and distractions of other traffic at naval air stations or other large airfields.
[6] Coast Guard aviation candidates follow an almost identical training pipeline as their United States Naval Aviator brethren from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Introductory and pre-flight training is taught at Pensacola Naval Air Station, followed by primary training at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Florida.
There are two types of training squadrons: Primary training squadrons train students in the first stages of flight training leading to selection to one of three advanced training pipelines for Student Naval Aviators (Rotary Wing, Strike or Multi-Engine) or two advanced training pipelines for Student Naval Flight Officers (Multi Crew or Strike).
NFO Training Pipeline. Training for student NFOs (SNFOs) starts out the same as for student naval aviators (SNAs), with the same academic requirements and nearly identical physical requirements. The only real distinction in physical requirements is that SNFOs may have less than 20/40 uncorrected distance vision.
The Naval Air Training Command (NATRACOM) is a one-star Echelon III command that conducts flight training of student Naval Aviators, and Naval Flight Officers.Though it does not conduct Naval Aircrew training which is conducted by Naval Education and Training Command's Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), it is responsible for monitoring the production of Aircrewmen through the Naval Aviator ...
Following completion of primary flight training and selection of an advanced training pipeline, Student Naval Aviators are assigned to TW-2 for either intermediate and advanced strike pipeline training or advanced E-2/C-2 training in the T-45C Goshawk jet training aircraft. [citation needed]
