This publication, Training Circular TC 3-04.63 MQ-1C Unmanned Aircraft System Commander�s Aircrew Training Program and Aircrew Training Manual, standardizes aircrew training programs (ATPs) and flight evaluation procedures by providing specific guidelines for executing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) aircrew training. It establishes crewmember qualification, refresher, mission, and continuation training and evaluation requirements. This manual applies to the MQ�1C Unmanned Aircraft System (Gray Eagle) crewmembers and their commanders.
This manual, in conjunction with other Army publications, will help UAS commanders at all levels develop a comprehensive ATP. By using this TC, commanders ensure that individual and crew proficiency matches their units' mission and that unmanned aircraft crewmembers (UACs) routinely employ standard techniques and procedures. UACs will use this manual as a "how to" source for performing crewmember duties.
This manual provides performance standards and evaluation guidelines so that crewmembers know the level of performance expected. Each task has a description that details how it should be perform in order to meet the standard.
Standardization personnel, evaluators, and unit trainers will use this manual and Army Regulation (AR) 95-23 as the primary tools to assist the commander in developing and implementing this ATP.
