Aircrew Training Manual (ATM) Perception Survey
Abstract
The Aircrew Training Manual (ATM) Program for Army Aviation evolved from a DA Department of the Army directed task force charged with developing a flying hour program designed to improve unit and individual readiness and to standardize the individual aviator training program. The program was to be structured primarily around the resources required to support a given unit readiness level. Additional guidance to be used in the development of the program was: Determine what individual training was required to restore combat flying proficiency to aviators following non-flying assignments, Determine the requirements to sustain aviator proficiency and maintain combat readiness through a series of semiannual training events, Establish the mean level of annual flying hours required for an individual to sustain combat readiness, Determine unique unit training requirements that could be translated into flying hour requirements. The extent to which the ATM program meets the needs of aviation units in the field is of critical importance. It is essential that periodic surveys be conducted to determine if the program is accomplishing its original mission. The Aviation Center must have some measure of the ATM's effectiveness so that meaningful changes may be implemented to keep the program aligned with the needs of the field. The need for this information served as the basis for the survey effort described in this report.
