What primary responsibility does the Aircrew flight equipment superintendent (AFES) have in relation to training?

The primary responsibility of the Aircrew Flight Equipment Superintendent (AFES) in relation to training revolves around the oversight and quality assurance of training materials. Reviewing lesson plans is essential because it ensures that all training programs are effective, accurate, and meet the regulatory standards required for aircrew flight equipment proficiency. This review process helps in identifying any gaps in training content, improving learning outcomes, and ensuring that the training delivered aligns with the objectives of the unit and the broader mission of aircrew safety and readiness.

In contrast, developing training curriculum, conducting training evaluations, and inspecting flight equipment, while important duties related to the overall training and operational effectiveness, do not encapsulate the primary focus of the AFES. The curriculum development typically falls under instructional designers or senior trainers, while conducting evaluations may involve both trainers and superintendents but is not the foremost responsibility of the AFES. Inspecting flight equipment is a critical function, but it is directed more towards ensuring the operational readiness and safety of the equipment rather than training directly.
