SE TRAINING AND
LICENSING PROGRAM
The purpose of the SE Training and Licensing
Program is to make sure you receive effective
training in the safe and efficient operation of SE
on specific types of aircraft. The improper use of
SE has resulted in excessive ground accidents and
repair and replacement costs amounting to
millions of dollars each year. It also results in
reduced operational readiness. The major reasons
for improper use of SE are lack of effective train-
ing and lack of effective supervision.
Proper licensing of SE operators takes the
coordinated effort of both the IMA SE division
and the user activity. OPNAVINST 4790.2 (latest
edition) lists the procedures and responsibilities
