1 navy TRAINING SYSTEM PLANFOR THEF-14A, F-14B, AND F-14D AIRCRAFTN88-NTSP-A-50-8511C/AFEBRUARY 2001N88-NTSP-A-50-8511C/AFebruary 2001F-14A, F-14B, AND F-14D AIRCRAFTiEXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Tomcat Aircraft are long range, multi-shot, all weather,strike-fighter aircraft suitable for carrier or shore-based operations. The F-14 Aircraft missionwas expanded to include delivery of conventional air-to-ground ordnance and precision guidedmunitions. The F-14B is either a remanufactured F-14A or new production aircraft equipped withF110-GE-400 engines. The F-14D is either a remanufactured F-14A or new production aircraftequipped with F110-GE-400 engines, new radar, and new avionics systems. Initial OperationalCapability for the F-14D Aircraft was achieved in Fiscal Year (FY) 92. An upgrade program wasimplemented for the F-14B Aircraft to extend the service life of the airframe and incorporateavionics changes to improve offensive and defensive capabilities.

2 Modifications to the F-14 BUpgrade Aircraft were completed in FY01. The F-14 is in the Operations and Support Phase ofthe Defense Acquisition F-14 squadrons will eventually transition to the F/A-18 Aircraft. A current scheduledepicts squadrons transitioning between FY01 and FY09. The Reserve squadron VF-201transitioned to the F/A-18 Aircraft in the first quarter of maintenance concept is set forth in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program,OPNAVINST (series), which prescribes the concept of three levels of maintenance:organizational, intermediate, and depot. The F-14D Aircraft achieved its navy Support Date inSeptember 1996. All systems in the F-14B Upgrade achieved Material and navy Support Datesby April 1999. Depot level maintenance of F-14B Upgrade systems is commercial and quantitative manpower requirements for the F-14 Aircraft are driven bythe total preventive and corrective maintenance workload, Required Operational Capabilities(ROC), and Projected Operational Environment (POE) requirements.

3 Activity ManpowerDocuments (AMD) for F-14 Aircraft squadrons with twelve aircraft were developed using thecurrent ROC and POE requirements and a Chief of Naval Operations (N78) letter authorizingsquadron manpower for 12 aircraft. This manpower concept allows squadrons to deploy with tenaircraft and surge to fourteen aircraft when needed. An AMD has also been developed for theFleet Readiness Squadron, VF-101, located at NAS Oceana, TRAINING for all F-14 series Aircraft has been completed. VF-101 NAS Oceana andMaintenance TRAINING Unit 1007 Naval Air Maintenance TRAINING Unit Oceana, are conductingfollow-on TRAINING for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft, including F-14B Upgrade 2001F-14A, F-14B, AND F-14D AIRCRAFTiiTABLE OF CONTENTSPageExecutive iList of viiPART I - TECHNICAL PROGRAM , Personnel, and TRAINING I-1E.

9 Thisdocument has been updated to comply with guidelines set forth in the navy TrainingRequirements Documentation Manual, OPNAV Publication NTSP provides updated information on the transition schedule to the F/A-18 Aircraft, TRAINING track lengths and descriptions, detailed TRAINING Device descriptions, and currentmanpower and TRAINING requirements. A change of concept for intermediate level maintenance ofthe Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) SYSTEM is changes for the F-14 series are outlined including Joint Defense AdvanceMunition (JDAM), the AN/ALE-47 replacement for AN/ALE-39, Tactical Air ReconnaissancePod SYSTEM (TARPS) Complete Digital (further pod change), GBU-24E/B Enhanced PavewayIII, LANTIRN 40K, and LANTIRN Remote Terminal (RT).In accordance with CNO Message 211908Z JUN 00, the Aviation Structural Mechanic,Structures (AMS) and Aviation Structural Mechanic, Hydraulics (AMH) ratings merged to formthe Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM) rating as of 1 March 2001.

10 The manpower depicted inthis NTSP no longer identifies AMH and AMS as separate ratings.
