T&R Matrix Format
NCEA
Reporting (SHARP/DRRS-N)

3. Overview General Policy Guidance

4. The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard
Introduction – Building Block Approach
“ The mission of Naval Aviation training is to prepare tactically and technically skilled
aircrew to win at war.”
We do this by carefully using our many resources to achieve the highest level of training attainable:
The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard

5. Policy Overview - Current
Current Training and Readiness policy is delineated by CNAP/CNAL A (Squadron Training and Readiness), dated 19 Dec 2018
This instruction includes the following references:
Enclosures 1-13 contain the specific TMS matrices
Appendix A – T&R Format
Appendix B – T&R Matrix and NMETL Submission Checklist
Appendix C - Reserved for Interim Matrices
Appendix D - Equivalent Sortie Length Matrix
Appendix E - Number of Authorized Aircrew
Appendix F - FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan / Ordnance Category Delineation

6. Policy Changes - Overview
Skill sets replaced with flight tasks (aligns the METs directly to flight tasks)
All flight tasks are now mandatory (no more optional tasks)
Deleted the Sustainment/Production sections of every matrix
Flight and simulator hours clearly mapped to flight tasks
Clarified how detachment-based squadrons apportion flight hours to detachments when flying aircrew from different detachments
Det-based squadrons must assign flight hours flown to only one detachment when a flight contains crews from more than one detachment

7. General Policy Guidelines - CVW/EXP FRTP Cycle
OFRP is based on a 36 month cycle even though the FRTP standards show 27 months
TSTA
AWF
C2X
ARP
Depicted is a notional FRTP cycle. The actual FRTP cycle is determined by the operational schedule for the CVN, CVW, squadron, or detachment.
Basic
Integrated
Sustain
Deployment
Maintenance
ULT/ACTC

8. General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates
FRTP Start/End Date
Defines the unit FTRP cycle
Affects ordnance expenditures and FRTP milestones (ARP, AWF, C2X, ISATT, CERTEX, Phase Transition)
The dates can be adjusted for special circumstances
FRTP months for CVW-based squadrons are managed by CNAP/CNAL N40 via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP)
FRTP months for Expeditionary-based squadrons/detachments are delegated to TYPEWINGs for management

9. General Policy Guidelines - FDNF Units
FDNF Units include:
CVW-5
HSM-51
Due to the dynamic schedule and OPLAN requirements, FDNF units are required to maintain higher levels of readiness
Higher Flight Hour funding to maintain higher readiness
All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End

10. General Policy Guidelines - Reserve Units
Reserve Units Include:
TSW (VFC-12, VFC-111, VFC-13, VFA 204, VAQ-209)
VR (C-40/C-130/C-20G)
MSW (VP-62, VP-69, HSC-85, HSM-60)
HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component HM matrix
Reserve matrices …
Use the same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts
Tend to have higher periodicities due to greater experience levels
FHP funded by number of aircraft vice number of crews

11. General Policy Guidelines - Waivers
Waivers may be requested when resources are not available or when external factors (weather, operational tasking, range availability, etc.) preclude execution of tasks in the T&R matrix
Carrier Air Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons under their operational control
Type Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons not attached to a CVW and all detachments under their administrative control
Waiver format example included in T&R instruction
Waivers are submitted to the CNAP or CNAL N40 for approval
Expect CNAP or CNAL to deny ordnance waivers in order to “Show the Pain”
Only Ef items can be waived in the T&R matrix.

12. T&R Matrix Format (Enclosures 1-13 )

14. NTA to flight task mapping + task periodicity
T&R Matrix Elements
Flight Tasks
NTAs
Ef = SRS
Pf = IARS
Notes
NTA to flight task mapping + task periodicity
TFOM = Training Figure of Merit
SRS = Squadron Requirements Section
IARS – Individual Aircrew Requirements Sections
Flight/sim hours
Sub Tasks
TFOM = Ef x Pf
80-100
60-79
0 -59
No longer has a Sustainment/Production section
All Flight Tasks are required
SRS section and TFOM calculations remain the same

15. Mission Essential Tasks (MET)
NTA
Navy unit level Mission Essential Tasks
Most common type of MET used in a matrix
Subset of the NMETL in DRRS-N
NMETL
COCOM/OPLAN driven
Developed by the Type Wings
TYCOM managed
USFFC approved
NMETL = Navy Mission Essential Task List)
Mission Essential Tasks (METs) is technically the correct term for the list of tasks. NTAs are just one type of METs. VQ(T) matrix has other types (e.g., OP, SN, etc.).

16. Experience Factor (Ef)
Measure of squadron level training requirements
ACTC, ARP, C2X, Fallon
Ordnance
90 day avg flight hours
T/M/S specific quals/designations
Ef is a number from 0.0 – 1.0 but displays as a whole number in DRRS-N
Ef items are minimums
Resourcing ensures minimums are met over the FRTP

17. Experience Factor (Ef) – Average 90 day FHP
Flight Hour Execution is a measure of Readiness
Target Value
90 day entitlement rolling average
T&R (baseline) hours only
Measurement Value
90 day actual rolling average
All hours flown
MESH not factored into training hours but does count towards total flight hours
MESH = Mission Essential Support Hours (Also called Afloat/Ashore Support Hours)

18. Performance Factor (Pf)
Flight Tasks
No longer have production and sustainment sections
All Flight Tasks are required all the time
Flight Tasks now directly relate to NTAs
Old optional tasks are now accomplished through Sub-Tasks mapped to a Parent Task
The Wing Training Manual contains the prerequisites
Individual Crews formed when all required crew positions have achieved all the required skills for a given NTA
Sample HM Matrix

19. Wing Training Manuals (WTM)
Wing Training Manual provides community-specific details for each training task in the T&R Matrix including:
Detailed description
Prerequisites
Training objectives aligned with T/M/S NMETLs 
Requirements for completion
Pass/fail criteria 
The Measures of Performance (MOP) and Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) shall be used to evaluate each task. Debrief sheets will be included when applicable.

Appendix F – FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan
Appendix F delineates NCEA allocation to each training event in the FRTP.
Type Wing Weapon Schools, NSAWC, and CSFTL/P provide inputs for their FRTP events during the annual T&R Conference.
ULT ordnance is allocated in 90-day blocks as determined by CNAL NCEA Readiness Officer. NOTE: TSTA is currently considered ULT.
Changes to Appendix F requires coordination with the respective training organization and CNAL/CNAP. Changes to shipboard events shall be minimized due to logistical constraints.

This is an example of the Air Wing NCEA worksheet used to plan and distribute NCEA.
Ordnance requirements for each VFA squadron’s major FRTP events are displayed and totaled.
A similar spreadsheet covers rotary-wing squadron requirements, which are much more robust with advent of APKWS and FFFWS
The numbers are rolled up the airwing level and NCEA is issued to the respective CVW NCEA account for allocation directly to individual squadrons

33. T Pillar Metrics Metric/Process Owner T-Pillar Metric CNO/USFFC TFOM =
OPNAVINST (DRRS-N)
NRTP (DRRS-N Manual)
TFOM =
Pf x Ef
Pf = performance factor
Ef = Experience factor
TYCOM
CNAP/CNAL (DRRS-N Supp)
CVN and T/M/S DRRS-N Guidance
CNAP/CNAL (T&R Matrix)
Determines T&R policy and format
Contains T/M/S training matrices
Pf =
Number of Skilled Crews
Number of Skilled Crews Required
Ef =
Number of SRS Items Completed
Number of SRS Items Required
FFC OPNAV define the TFOM equation. The TYCOM defines how P and E are calculated. The Type Wing determines how P and E are mapped.
Type Wing
Wing Training Manuals
T&R matrix mapping for each TMS
Development of the T&R matrix
Caveat: If Ef < 100, then Pf is held at 80

34. SHARP Reports and DRRS-N
Two useful SHARP reports to assess readiness in DRRS-N
Current Readiness Assessment (CRA)
Crew METs with Individual Skills Report
Provide a comprehensive picture of the Ef and Pf elements that make up TFOM in DRRS-N
Provide basis for CO’s comments in DRRS-N

35. T&R Calculations to DRRS-N
TFOM = Pf x Ef
Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculated in ADW and NTIMS
Unit updates Training (T-Pillar) in DRRS-N by submitting a Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) from SHARP
CRAs submitted every 15 days or when readiness changes occur
80-100
60-79
0 -59

36. Keys to Success
OPS needs to have a plan to execute training and ordnance expenditures
Track R+ months throughout your FRTP cycle
Quarterly flight hour funding = expected level of readiness
Fly your hours to achieve expectations
Reference SHARP reports to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N
SHARP Management is critical
Logging matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs
Training Officer, AOPS be proficient
T&R should be a flight schedule driver
