It is planned to have completed all P-3 classes no later than 2019 The U.S. Navy no longer providing formal school house training, the only viable training solution will be contractor provided training.The types of aircrew training that will be required are for Pilots, Flight Engineers, Flight Officers, Acoustic and Non Acoustic Operators. There is also a potential for P-3 Maintainer training. It is understood that industry needs an understanding of the potential requirement in order to assume the risk of developing contractor training solutions.One of the objectives of the P-3 International Training Symposium is to gain an understanding of the short and long term training requirements. The U.S. Navy is encouraging industry participation to the greatest extent possible. Industry partners can use this opportunity to get a better understanding of the actual near and long term requirements, provide capabilities information and to present potential courses of action for post U.S. Navy sundown for contractor provided training solutions.
