Fleet
Readiness Training Program
Welcome to the Virtual Naval Air Training Command (vTRACOM), home to the Primary and Intermediate Flight Training Programs for VUSN Student Naval Aviators or SNA's. The VUSN prides itself on trying to emulate real world naval aviation training, however due to the nature of our online virtual environment several modules have been eliminated or revised. We do have many real world Naval aviators within the VUSN who have complimented our staff as to the realism, professionalism and pride we take to not only educate the novice SNA (nugget) on various aspects of naval aviation but also having fun doing it.
There are two purposes of vTRACOM. The first is to indoctrinate, train,
and eventually place pilots within the VUSN fleet squadrons. Successful completion of the VUSN
Primary and Intermediate Flight training programs helps to
enhance operations and to track pilot progress. This may look or sound
difficult, but is actually very easy and, ultimately a lot of fun. Keep
in mind that all VUSN pilots are required to participate in the TRACOM
Flight Training Programs.. A flowchart of the training program pipeline can be
found here.
The second purpose is to help existing fleet squadron pilots in staying current and to
introduce new tactics and training guidelines. In addition, the training
library contains a lot of information to help ALL pilots to further enjoy
their tours in the VUSN.
Your basic training , called PRIMARY will begin with the VT3
Red Knights, located at
Most Primary and Intermediate training modules REQUIRE an online
checkride with a qualified TRACOM Instructor Pilot (IP) or your Future squadrons
commanding officers or his designee. The TRACOM Instructor pilots
are experienced VUSN aviators, trained to provide the student with a sound
foundation in the operation of the different TRACOM aircraft. Instructors
undergo a training course similar to the student's, which familiarizes
them with curriculum maneuvers and teaches an effective presentation
techniques to standardize training. No two instructors will be identical
in their teaching styles and each may vary their presentation to fit the
needs of the individual student, however the goal is to provide
standardized training to the greatest extent possible.
In order to teach you to fly the VUSN training aircraft properly, the
instructor must critique your performance online during a checkride. The
instructors feedback and suggestions are intended to improve your
understanding and flying techniques. All criticism by instructor pilots
will be constructive in character, with the intent to develop a newly
qualified virtual naval aviator, ready for fleet deployment.
The primary goals of VUSN are to educate, to provide a realistic
simulation of Naval Aviation flying and air traffic control and, most
importantly, to provide a fun environment for everyone to enjoy our hobby.
The policies and procedures contained within this library support those
goals. These policies apply to the conduct of all members and
all activities, whether operated online or offline, under the
jurisdiction of the VUSN. All VUSN members are required to be
familiar with these policies, both operational and administrative, in
addition to supplemental policies administered by their future fleet
squadrons or commands. The Latest version of the VUSN Manual can be found
on the main VUSN web page. Please make sure to read this manual in its entirety
so that you are fully aware of any restrictions and can enjoy your
experience with the VUSN .
WELCOME ABOARD NUGGET . GOOD LUCK WITH THE
TRAINING AS YOU STRIVE TO EARN YOUR COVETED "WINGS
OF GOLD"
