Flight Authorization

100

What is a flight authorization?

Flight Authorization (FA)—A single document used to identify all aircrew, operational support, and authorized non-interference members on AOs, who are qualified and required to perform duties on specific aircraft for a scheduled mission. MEP may be placed on the flight authorization, only in the Remarks section. AE/PJ FAs are attached to the aircraft FA for the mission(s) on which they performed duties.

Within how many days of a commanders verbal authorization, must a written confirmation be issued?

1.8.1. A commander's (including unit commanders) verbal authorization may direct aircraft flight only when time constraints or administrative procedures prevent written authorization. Written confirmation of this order must be issued within three duty-days.

300

Who appoints FA authenticating officials?

1.8.1.FA authenticating officials will be appointed in writing by the OG/CC or equivalent commander.

400

T/F The original, printed, signed FA with changes annotated are not required documentation?

1.8.1.1. FALSE. The original, printed, signed forms with changes annotated are required documentation. Reproduction and disposal of the original forms to remove pen/ink changes after the flight authenticating official has signed the form and sorties/missions have occurred is not authorized.

500

Which characters of the flight authorization duty code is/are MAJCOM specific?

The third, fourth, and fifth characters.

Flight time

100

What flight time can be logged by members who are on the flight authorization, but who are not occupying a designated duty station or conforming to the requirements of primary, secondary, instructor, or evaluator time?

3.3.5. Other Flight Time. Flight time flown by members who are on the flight authorization, but who are not occupying a designated duty station or conforming to the requirements of primary, secondary, instructor, or evaluator time.

200

T/F Primary Simulated Instrument Time does not require to actively (hands on) control the aircraft?

Primary Simulated Instrument Time. The portion of primary, ―hands-on‖ instructor, or ―hands-on‖ evaluator time logged by an individual controlling the aircraft attitude primarily by reference to the flight instruments. Pilots only will log this time when performing duties in this flight condition. May be logged in a flight simulator.

300

Who determines what portion of a combat zone constitutes as hostile airspace?

3.3.6.1.1. As soon as possible after a combat zone is established, the Commander Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) will identify which portion constitutes hostile airspace. Hostile airspace is airspace within a combat zone that has been specifically designated as hostile airspace by the COMAFFOR, based on risk of exposure to hostile fire.

400

In order to credit flight activity what five requirements must personnel meet?

3.2.1.1. Be physically qualified. The member cannot be in DNIF status and must be medically cleared for flying duty, documented on an AF Form 1042. 3.2.1.2. Be physiologically qualified (if applicable for the aircraft). 3.2.1.3. Be on AOs to take part in frequent and regular flights as aircrew, to obtain aircrew qualification, or as operational support members (IAW AFI 11-402). 3.2.1.4. Be under an approved aircrew qualification code (based on AF Form 8/8a qualification) and aircrew position identifier (Table A2.3) designated on the flight authorization for the aircraft. (EXCEPTION: aircrew members authorized to perform inflight duties in non-USAF aircraft, IAW paragraph 1.11, will comply with guidance applicable to the authority controlling the aircraft in regards to flight authorization requirements.) 3.2.1.5. Be part of the crew complement (AFI 65-503) authorized to perform aircrew duties in the aircraft in order to obtain and maintain aircrew qualification, or be required for the mission

500

T/F In certain cases total instructor time logged may exceed total flight time logged?

If more than one instructor of like specialty are on the aircraft to provide simultaneous instruction for crewmembers of different specialties, both instructors may log instructor time (e.g., two instructor navigators are on the same aircraft, one is instructing a student navigator and the other is instructing a boom operator). In this case, total instructor time logged may exceed total flight time logged. Enter a remark on the back of the AFTO Form 781 explaining the rationale for logging excess instructor time.

Proration

100

Describe proration?

The process of reducing the total number of requirements (volume) that a member has to complete for the entire training cycle. Proration is necessary when a member is not available for training.

200

List three instances when proration is authorized?

3.5. Proration of Training. When determining training requirements, prorate an aircrew member not available for flying duties (for example, PCS, nonflying TDY, duty not including flying [DNIF] status, or emergency leave).

300

You may prorate the following tasks except? a. takeoff b. Landing c. Small Arms d. Precision approach

C. Small Arms

400

How does prorating a training profile affect the training tasks assigned to the profile?

When you prorate a training profile, the volume of all the training tasks assigned to the profile are reduced in proportion to the number of months the profile is prorated.

Incentive pay

100

What is HDIP?

Special pay given to non career-aviators, operational support members, and parachutist as an incentive for performing certain hazardous duties.

Conditional CEFIP

400

Which form is used to track a members flight time for conditional pay purposes?

500

How many months of OFDA must a CEA have at the following gates? 10-year 15-year 20-year

10-year: 72 15-year: 108 20-year: 168
