MIL C130 FLT CREW LANDS WITHOUT CLRNC AT CSM.

Narrative

THE EVENT OCCURRED SHORTLY PAST THE HALFWAY POINT ON AN INITIAL UPGRADE TRAINING FLT USING NIGHT VISION GOGGLES. WE WERE TRAINING 2 PLTS; AN ENGINEER; AND A NAVIGATOR IN THE USE OF NVG'S AND ALSO USING A NEW CHKLIST FOR THESE OPS WHICH IS VERY CONFUSING. THE TRAINING FOR THE FIRST PLT WENT SMOOTHLY AND THE SECOND PLT HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO THE SEAT. WE WERE TRAINING HIM ON THE USE OF THE NEW CHKLIST AND ALLOWING THE NEW; INEXPERIENCED NAVIGATOR TO PROVIDE COURSE GUIDANCE USING AN AIRBORNE RADAR APCH. WE FLEW A VISUAL PATTERN WITH A 10 MI FINAL. TWR INSTRUCTED US TO CALL INBOUND. DUE TO CONFUSION FROM THE NEW PLT ON NVG'S; A NEW NAVIGATOR GIVING DIRECTIONAL GUIDANCE AND A NEW CHKLIST; THIS CALL WAS NOT MADE. WE NEVER RECEIVED LNDG CLRNC. WE LANDED AND REALIZED OUR MISTAKE WHEN PUSHING THE THROTTLES FORWARD FOR TKOF. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE: INEXPERIENCE ON THE PART OF THE PLT; NAVIGATOR AND ENGINEER; TASK-SATURATION OF THE INSTRUCTOR PLT; NEW NIGHT VISION GOGGLES FOR HALF OF THE CREW; A NEW CONFUSING CHKLIST FOR NVG PROCS AND THE DISTR OF A C17 IN THE PATTERN ALSO PERFORMING NVG TRAINING. THE TIME OF DAY OF THE EVENT WAS ALSO A FACTOR.
