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.

What to Bring:

ASTC Pensacola strongly encourages FLIGHT SUITS as the uniform of the day for all aviation personnel. This is due to the physical and environmental demands of the survival training.

All personnel reporting for Aviation Survival Training must report with a current Aeromedical Clearance Notice("Up-Chit") or Medical Clearance for Nonmilitary/Non-aircrew Personnel to Fly in USN/USMC Aircraft (OPNAV 3710/18 (3-95)). In addition, Aircrew should present their NATOPS Training Jackets (or proof of previous training) so that the training may be documented properly.

Aviators and aircrew are strongly encouraged to bring their own torso harness for Parachute Training.

Water Survival Students must bring a practical swimsuit or shorts and a towel. Practical swimsuit for Females is either a black or navy blue one piece swimsuit. A practical swimsuit for Males is either black or blue PT shorts that tie at the waist. It is highly recommended that students bring a spare t-shirt and socks to be worn with pool issue flight equipment.

Students who wear contact lenses are encouraged to bring a contact lens kit for removal of lenses during water training. Swim goggles are not authorized for any water testing evaluation.

Day 1 Locations are specified in your training confirmation e-mail.
PLEASE BE AT THE ASTC NO LATER THAN your designated time for Medical Screening and Record Checks.

NOTE: Please be on time. Students reporting AFTER the start time of classes may not be eligible to complete a full qualification on that day, and will have to reschedule and return on another day to make up missing elements.
 

Students on paid TAD or PCS orders are required to produce them at check-in and upon completion of the course to be stamped. NASTP QUALIFICATION LETTERS WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL ORDERS ARE STAMPED.

Water Survival Students must bring a practical swimsuit or shorts and a towel. Practical swimsuit for Females is either a black or navy blue one piece swimsuit.
