229th Assault Helicopter Battalion 229AHB logo.png
1stCavDiv
UH-1h Standard Operations Training


This syllabus outlines the the training qualification hierarchy of the 229th.

There are 6 qualifications or stages per the two primary aircraft:

  • Basic Wings (BW)
  • Senior Wings (SW)
  • Master Wings
  • Mission Qualified (MQ)
  • AIR MISSION COMMANDER (AMC)
  • Flight Lead (FL)


The Objectives and demonstrable Competencies for each designation are outlined below. These training requirements are based on selected "TASKS" from the Uh-1h ATM.

In the sections that follow you will find a link to the corresponding ATM Tasks printed in original form for reference.

To expedite your Basic Wing training, each of the listed competencies and requirements in that section is followed by a breakdown of the relevant ATM Tasks in a concise readable format. Yah, "Cliff Notes"

In time, the same will be offered for Senior Wings, including the Mi-8. Other aircraft depending on demand.
