PETTY OFFICER-IN-CHARGE
FAETUPAC DETACHMENT
As authorized by the Commander Naval Air Force, Pacific Fleet, Aviation Training Aids Branch is established with a Petty Officer in Charge at locations that require the assignment and support of training devices and aids in quantities and extent that would not justify the establishment of a FAETUPAC DETACHMENT. In view of the limited capabilities of and Aviation Training Aids Branch, it’s range of training support is not intended to include classroom or extensive type training programs, and will normally be confined to:
- a. Operation and maintenance of assigned major training devices.
- b. The stocking and maintaining of adequate quantities of minor training devices and aids for issuance to supported fleet air units.
- c. The stocking and issuing of training film.
