1.2. Using This Manual In general, this manual is organized in an order that parallels the training flow in pilot training. The first five chapters cover topics applicable to every sortie, and the second five chapters cover topics by category of flight. While each chapter builds on skills and concepts introduced in previous chapters, the initial phase of training requires mastery of all concepts and skills introduced in Chapter 1 through Chapter 6. During subsequent stages of training, study centers on specific category chapters. Regular review of previous material is required.
