history | ||||||
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Training Squadron 303 (HMLAT-303) was
activated with four officers and three enlisted Marines on 30 April
1982. Today the squadron has grown to over 400 Marines and 45
aircraft. Based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton,
California, HMLAT-303 conducts an extensive training syllabus to
include: familiarization, navigation, ordnance, terrain, formation,
instrument and night vision goggle flight. The squadron periodically
deploys to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, where training
efficiency is enhanced due to the proximity of ordnance delivery
ranges and superb weather conditions. HMLAT-303 trained AH-1W Cobra and UH-1N Huey pilots for the Marine Corps and Navy for more than 20 years, until both platforms were upgraded to the new AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom. HMLAT-303 is the only Marine Corps squadron tasked with training UH-1Y and AH-1Z replacement, refresher, and conversion pilots and aircrew. In addition to flight training, HMLAT-303 manages the fleet-wide NATOPS standardization program for the H-1, conducts Instrument Ground School for all of MAG-39 aircrew, and is responsible for the scheduling of the AH-1Z and the UH-1Y Weapons System Trainers and the AH Aircrew Procedures Trainer. |
