Training Circular TC 3-04.35 Aircrew Training Manual, Utility Helicopter, Mi-17 Series March 2013

This aircrew training manual (ATM) standardizes aircrew training programs (ATPs) and flight evaluation procedures. This manual provides specific guidelines for executing Mi-17 aircrew training. The Mi-17 ATM establishes requirements for crewmember qualification: refresher, mission, and continuation training; and evaluations. This manual is not a stand-alone document. Requirements of Army regulation (AR) 600-105, AR 600-106, and Training Circular (TC) 3-04.11 must be met. The Kazan Mi-17 flight manual is the authority for operation of the aircraft. If differences exist between the maneuver descriptions in the flight manual and this publication, this publication is the governing authority for training and flight evaluation purposes. Implementation of this manual conforms to AR 95-1 and TC 3-04.11. If a conflict exists between this publication and TC 3-04.11, the ATP commander determines the method of accomplishment based upon the requirement and the unit’s mission as to which manual takes precedence. This manual, in conjunction with AR 600-105, AR 600-106, AR 95-1, and TC 3-04.11, will help develop a comprehensive ATP. Using this ATM ensures that individual crewmember and aircrew proficiency is commensurate with the unit’s mission and that aircrews routinely employ standard techniques and procedures. Crewmembers will use this manual as a "how to" source for performing crewmember duties. It provides performance standards and evaluation guidelines so crewmembers know the level of performance expected. Each task has a description of the proper procedures for completion to meet the standard. Standardization officers, evaluators, and unit trainers (UTs) will use this manual and TC 3-04.11 as the primary tools in assisting commanders with development and implementation of their ATP. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR), and Department of the Army civilians (DACs) operating the Mi-17 series aircraft, unless otherwise stated. The proponent for this publication is the United States (U.S.) Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
