Hawaii Based MV-22 Squadrons Return to Flight Status

MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII – As early as next week, Hawaii-based MV-22 Osprey squadrons assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 24, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, expect to begin executing flight operations as the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has deemed the aircraft safe to fly. The MV-22 squadrons will adhere to the Marine Corps’ three-phased approach, which begins with a focus on regaining proficiency in Core and Basic skills for pilots and aircrew. Squadrons will then follow well-established training and readiness manuals, standard operating procedures, and best practices to demonstrate the skills reinforced in phase one. Upon completion of the first two phases of skill development and demonstration, squadrons will progress toward conducting specific pre-deployment training programs – to include flight operations in the local area – in preparation for their next assigned missions.
