Abstract
In many instances, the utilization of trained naval personnel outside their specialty is inevitable, and the resulting skill deterioration in that specialty and necessity for re-training is also inevitable. The unnecessary utilization of trained personnel out-of-rating, however, must be controlled to combat rising training costs and attain maximum possible training efficiency and trained manpower availability. There is no single aviation rating that performs all the duties and tasks for which the Plane Captain branches of Line Divisions of naval aviation units are responsible. This thesis reviews the current methods utilized to man the Plane Captain branches of these Line Divisions, discusses the advantages and disadvantages, and reviews the alternatives to correct this manning dilemma that have been proposed to date. It then presents a new proposal to modify the current Line Division manning practices in order to decrease the utilization of trained personnel out-of-rating and improve the efficiency of the naval aviation maintenance work force.
