General Information

The following items are required for HITU check-in (the Admin Clerk will assist):

• NATOPS Jacket
• Admin Up-Chit
• A Copy of Orders
• Flight Logbook

Squadron Requirements

During your training, administrative services will be provided by your parent squadron with respect to leave tracking, personnel issues, pay, etc.

Leave Requests

All requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will be routed through the HITU OPSO, SWO, and OIC and approved by your squadron XO/CO. Utilize your squadron's leave tracking procedures to check in and check out.

Uniforms

Unless otherwise specified, flight suits are the uniform of the day. Nomex (green or tan) flight jackets are "on-base-only" authorized with your flight suit. DO NOT wear the Nomex jacket off base. Comply with parent squadron policy for flight suit patch and t-shirt requirements and wearing of flight suits off base.

Expect to Fly Every Day

Generally, you will be scheduled for at least one training event per day. There are a few flights that are routinely scheduled together. This includes the N4001 - usually flown with I4204 or 14390. The N4201 and N4202 are also usually paired together.

Snivels

To the maximum extent possible, snivels need to be submitted at least 48 hours prior. At a minimum, ensure your snivel is in TIMS Absence Request (under personal information tab) NLT 0700 of the day prior to the day of the snivel. Keep in mind that at times, the schedule is roughed out two days in advance. It is to your benefit to get a necessary snivel in as early as possible. Be specific with the date and/or time you need off as well as the reason. Remember, your priority while in the HITU is to fly. If the schedule is written and signed and the unforeseen arises, work with the Operations Officer or the OIC to resolve the conflict.

Flight Schedule

There are three ways you can check on your schedule for the next day.

1. Check the CNATRA Web Schedules website. This site is unsecured and can be accessed from any web browser. A CAC is not required.
   1. Go to the CNATRA Web Schedules website.
   2. Verify that you have the correct day and date.
   3. Click the View Schedule button.
   4. You can "filter" by your last name.
   5. Be sure to read the "REMARKS" section - important information concerning your event is often annotated here.
   6. Be sure to check the Front Page for notes.

2. Call the HITU FDO. The FDO is on duty until LPOD. Make this your first call. It is the safest and most sure way of getting the correct information.
3. Call your parent squadron (there should be a 24-hour duty available). If calling your parent squadron, be sure to be specific and ask the SDO to look at the HITU flight schedule for your name. Many times the SDOs are unfamiliar with the HITU schedule and you will need to be specific.

Flight Support

You will receive your ground school curriculum, FTIs, Master Curriculum Guide, NATOPS manual, NATOPS Pocket Checklist, and other pubs when you check in. All your navigation pubs can be found in the Flight Support Room on the HT-18 side of Bldg. 2977.

Daily Requirements or as Needed

• Verify your currency on the HITU Read & Initial Board (Duty Office).
• Read ATFS and/or review your training summary on TIMS. (The Admin Clerk also maintains hard copies)
• Check message boards in the HITU Ready Room for pertinent information.
• Update recall list with Admin Clerk anytime you change your recall address and/or phone number.
• Check NMCI e-mail.
• Check the flight schedule every day, including the front page for notes.

CDO Duty

All O3 IUTs are eligible to be assigned as TRAWING FIVE Command Duty Officer (CDO) and/or Supernumery while at the HITU. Duty is a one-week period. All leave requests need to be routed through the SWO to ensure duty coverage.

Flight Physicals

It is the IUT's responsibility to get a flight physical in a timely manner. Call Aviation Medicine at 623-7151 to make an appointment. Spaces fill up quickly, so call well in advance (at least by the middle of the month PRIOR to your birth month).

Swims / Physiology

Know when your swims will expire and visit the ASTC website to schedule your swim/phys date using your CAC. These spots are also limited, so if you know you are going to expire, take action to avoid going "down" for a lapsed qual.

HUREVAC Operations

IUT's holding a current TH-57 Instrument Check and NATOPS qualification are eligible for HUREVAC flyaway operations during hurricane season. Be prepared to depart at a moment's notice. Have a plan for your family and be ready to execute early. Heavy traffic in any direction out of Pensacola makes last minute evacuations very difficult and possibly unsafe. More details will be provided if a hurricane is projected to hit the local area.

Squadron Functions

Attending your respective squadron social functions is encouraged on a not-to-interfere-with-training basis. It is a good opportunity to meet your future squadron mates. The squadron shouldn't demand any ground job responsibilities while in the HITU syllabus. Your mission is to complete the HITU. If your squadron is pressuring you to work a ground job, see the HITU OIC. Some recurring events:

• Quarters / AOMS
• Social Functions
• Hails & Farewells
• Safety Stand downs / GMT
