This manual, Training Circular TC 3-04.21 (TC 1-272) Aircrew Training Manual, Light Utility Helicopter, UH-72A November 2013, standardizes aircrew training programs (ATPs) and flight evaluation procedures. It provides specific guidelines for executing light utility helicopter UH-72A aircrew training and establishes crewmember qualification, refresher, mission, and continuation, training, and evaluation requirements. This manual applies to all UH-72A crewmembers and their commanders in the active Army, the Army National Guard Bureau (NGB), the United States (U.S) Army National Guard (ARNG), the U.S Army Reserve (USAR) and Department of the Army Civilians (DACs) unless otherwise stated. This manual applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG), the Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The operator's manual is the governing authority for operation of the aircraft. If differences exist between the maneuver descriptions in the rotorcraft flight manual (RFM) and this manual, then this manual is the governing authority for training and flight evaluation purposes only. The manufacturer RFM and any applicable supplements are the governing authority for operation of the aircraft. Implementation of this manual conforms to AR 95-1 (flight regulations) and TC 3-04.11. If a conflict exists between this manual, and TC 3-04.11, the ATP commander determines the method of accomplishment based upon the requirement and the unit's mission as to which manual takes precedence. This manual, in conjunction with the ARs and TC 3-04.11, will help aviation commanders, at all levels; develop a comprehensive ATP. By using this ATM, commanders ensures, that individual crewmembers and aircrew proficiency is commensurate with the units' mission that aircrews routinely employ standard techniques and procedures. Crewmembers will use this manual as a "how to" source for performing crewmember duties. It provides performance standards and evaluation guidelines so that crewmembers know the level of performance expected. Each task provides a description of how the task should be perform to meet the standards.. ATP commanders of active Army, National Guard, and Army Reserve units operating the UH-72A helicopter will use this ATM and TC 3-04.11 to develop individual commander's task lists for assigned aviators.
