Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Cherry Point is a detachment of the Navy Medicine Operational Training Command of Pensacola, Florida. Located on Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point on the Neuse River in Havelock North Carolina. Our mission is to maximize the performance and survivability of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircrew under the rigorous conditions of Naval Aviation. That mission is accomplished through the Naval Aviation Survival Training Program.

ASTC Cherry Point provides and meets the aviation survival and safety requirements of all Naval Aviation and DoD activities.

CNAF M-36710.7 dtd 15 Jan 2023 no longer authorizes alternate training due to inoperative devices/inclement weather for refresher students. As such, any factor creating device unavailability will result in a letter of Conditionally Qualified (CQ) or Unqualified (UQ), dependent on the number of devices unavailable, and the student will have 90 days to the complete the deficient module(s). If device unavailability is the reason for Conditional Qualification and the individual is unable to return to the ASTC for completion of the deficient training module prior to a deployment, an extension until 30-days post-deployment may be requested. The approval authority for this type of extension is the aviation TYCOM, CMC, COMNAVAIRFORES, or command delegated this authority by TYCOM CMC or COMNAVAIRFORES, for their assigned units. Refer to Paragraph 8.4.4 of CNAF M-3710.7 regarding training waivers and extensions other than the deployment extension described above.
