1. RSSTP OVERVIEW/ COURSE INTRODUCTION
You’ve all practiced Risk Management during your careers, or you wouldn’t be here. However, as you saw in the introduction, we (naval aviation in general) aren’t doing it well enough.
In FY 96, we lost 39 aircraft... we’re only scheduled to purchase 40 in FY97!
Operational Risk Management doesn’t just reduce mishaps, but it improves our ability to accomplish the mission efficiently and effectively. Note the term “operational” on this slide...it doesn’t say “safety”.
The goal of this course is to give you a thorough understanding of the ORM process, selected tools, practical applications and implementation ideas so that you can lead the way for implementation in naval aviation.
The introductory training which follows is designed to give the audience a basic understanding of ORM. Everyone in the command, from the most junior person to the CO, should receive introductory training.

The following brief can be found in the IG Front Matter, should be laminated to your clipboard, and must be read verbatim to students:

9. TTO BRIEF
A Training Time Out (TTO) may be called by any student or instructor in any training situation where they are concerned for their own or another’s safety, or they request clarification of procedures or requirements. TTO is also an appropriate means for a student to obtain relief if he or she is experiencing pain, heat stress, or other serious physical discomfort. The purpose of TTO is to correct the situation of concern, provide clarifying information, or remove the student or instructor from the possible hazardous environment.

10. TTO BRIEF (cont.)
A TTO may be signaled with the abbreviation TTO, the words Training Time Out, crossed hands in a “T”, a raised clinched fist, or other specific signal which will be briefed prior to a specific lab, test, or exercise. If the TTO signal is not acknowledged, the signaler shall shout “Time Out”. The instructor shall attempt to relieve and remove the student from the possible hazardous environment. If an adequate number of instructors are available to allow training to continue safely, the lead instructor may elect to do so. However, if this is not practical, training will be stopped until the situation is corrected.

11. TTO Policy cont.
Instructors are responsible for maintaining situational awareness.
Remain alert for student signs of panic, fear, extreme exhaustion, or lack of confidence.
