    Prerequisites:

    • Completion of basic pilot training.
    • Familiarity with HH-60G systems and operational procedures.
    • Prior experience with ground operations in similar aircraft (if applicable).

    Training Tasks:

    Ground Training:

    1. DemonstrateBriefing proficiency(30 performingminutes)
      • Overview of ground taxioperation procedures and objectives.
      • Review of aircraft systems and controls relevant to ground operations.
      • Discuss pre-flight checks, including fuel, weight and balance, and systems checks.
      • Emphasize safety protocols, including avoiding rotor wash and maintaining situational awareness around the aircraft.
      • Review taxiing procedures, including communication with ground control and crew coordination.
  • Flight Objectives (90 minutes)
    • Conduct pre-flight checks on the aircraft, ensuring all systems are operational.
    • Execute the following ground operations:
      • Taxi Procedures:
        • Taxi the aircraft following designated routes safely and efficiently, maintaining awareness of surroundings.
        • Communicate effectively with ground control for taxi instructions and clearances.
        • Demonstrate proper use of brakes, rotor engagement timing, and smooth transitions during taxiing.
      • Warm-up Operations:
        • Practice engine systems check while on the ground, and monitor system indications.
        • Conduct an engine run-up as part of pre-flight checks.
      • Takeoff Preparation:
        • Complete final checks before takeoff, ensuring readiness for flight.
        • Execute final crew briefings, discussing roles for takeoff and initial climb procedures.
      • Perform takeoff and transition into flight operations, applying knowledge from ground procedures.

    • Post-Flight Training:

    1. Debriefing (30 minutes)
      • Review the execution of ground operations against established objectives.
      • Discuss performance during taxiing, including any challenges faced or safety considerations.
      • Evaluate communication proficiency with ground control and crew during ground operations.
      • Provide feedback on adherence to safety protocols and overall situational awareness.

    SpecificEvaluation Mission Tasks:Criteria:

    executing pre-flight and post-flight checks.
  • Efficiency and safety in taxi procedures, including communication and coordination.
  • Adherence to ground operation protocols and safety measures.
  • Smooth integration into flight operations from ground to air.

    • SpecialCertification: Instructions:Successful completion of this syllabus and demonstration of proper ground operation techniques will contribute to the pilot’s proficiency and operational readiness in conducting ground operations with the HH-60G Pave Hawk.
