Course Description:
This course is designed to provide aerial firefighters an advanced training experience to NNAFA - National Aerial Firefighting Academy and N9048 - National Aerial Firefighting Academy II, utilizing sand table exercises and classroom interaction. These simulations and problem solving exercises will enhance the aerial firefighter’s effectiveness and safety awareness by providing complex problem-solving tasks while simulating a multi-aircraft fire airspace environment.
- NAFA and NAFA II are required first in order to take NAFA III.
- This course will meet the contract requirements for existing Level 1 SEAT Pilots (preferred option for existing Level 1 SEAT pilots) and for airtanker and scooper AKPs every three years.
- Please note No flight simulators are used in this course. Those that need to have flight simulation will have to attend NAFA II in McClellan, CA.
- This class is NOT appropriate, nor will it meet contract requirements for Pilots needing NAFA II for their upgrade to a Level 1 endorsement.
Objectives:
To provide aerial firefighters an advanced training experience to NAFA, utilizing sand table exercises and classroom interaction. These simulations and problem solving exercises will enhance the aerial firefighter’s effectiveness and safety awareness by providing complex problem solving tasks while simulating a multi-aircraft fire airspace environment.
Target Group:
NAFA III is for personnel who have attended NAFA and NAFA II and are interested in building on that knowledge and who do not need flight simulation.
Total Hours: 16
Prerequisites:
NNAFA - National Aerial Firefighting Academy
N9048 - National Aerial Firefighting Academy II
