| What are non- CEA examples? | Aeromedical evacuation technician Radio Frequency Transmission Systems Specailist |
| API | Aircrew position indicator code- assigned to identify positions and is a one digit(numeric for rated/ alphabetic for CEAs) manpower code that identifies a member's flying position in other than USAF units. |
| API Codes can be found in what publication? | AFMAN 11-402 |
| Hierarchy | above wing level: Head Quarters (HQ), MAJCOM, # AF below wing level: wing, group, squadron |
| Rated API Codes (AFMAN 11-402) | API 1- pilot, API 2- Navigator/CSO/Observer, API 3- Staff or supervisory rated positions at wing or below(ABM), API 4- Staff or"" above wing level, API 5- Flight surgeon |
| Rated API Codes Continued (AFMAN 11-402) | API 6- Staff or supervisory rated positions at wing level and below, API 7 USAF officers not occupying a USAF rated position, API 8- Staff "" rated positions above wing level, API 9- ABM, API 0- rated officers assigned to non-rated duties/non-rated offcrs |
| CEA API Codes (AFMAN 11-402) | API A- CEAs used for line flying, API B Staff or supervisory CEA at wing level and below, API C Staff or supervisory CEA at wing level and below not req to perform in-flight duties, API D- Staff"" above wing level preform in-flight duties. |
| CEA API Codes Continued (AFMAN 11-402) | API E above wing level not required to perform in-flight duties, API G CEA not occupying USAF position perform with foreign unit, API Z- Enlisted personnel assigned to CEA duties and all Non-CEA enlisted aviators. (1st SGT, MTL/MTI) |
| FAC | Flying Activity Code - one digit numeric/alphabetic code used to inform the member's flying activity. Rated members receive a numeric FAC and CEAs receive a alphabetic FAC. An API must be assigned before receiving a FAC. |
| The full list of FACs can be found in what publication? | AFMAN 11-402 |
| What is the primary function of a FAC? | operation code assigned to an individual, not a position(ARM personnel control this code in ARMS). |
| Rated FAC codes (AFMAN 11-402) | FAC 1 Active status Rated officers in active API code 1,2,5,7,and 9 coded, FAC 2 Active status instructors, supervisors, and students, FAC 3 Officers not associated with formal flying training courses, FAC 7 Inactive status Rated officers (API 0,3,4) |
| CEA FAC codes ( AFMAN 11-402) | FAC A Active status CEAs in API A or G, FAC B Active status instructors, supervisors, and students (API A,B,D,or Z), FAC C CEAs (API B, D, or G) FAC G Inactive status (API C, E, and Z) |
| Operational Support members | applies to operational flying units tasked with special missions requiring non-aircrew personnel to perform in-flight duties, which cant be accomplished by rated, CEA, non-rated/non-CEA personnel. full-time duty does not req flying. (temporary) |
| Examples of operational support members: | Combat camera Fuel specailist |
| What is the overall mission of a missileer? | develop and provide safe, secure and effective combat-ready forces for nuclear deterrence and global strike operations to support the President of the United States and Combatant Commanders. |
| ICBM Operator | inter-continental ballistic missile operator- operate and control nuclear and missile operations. also coordinate nuclear operations, policies, activities, and programs. Placed on MADOs missile alert duty orders. |
| AFGSC(Air Force global strike command) Form 3520I | is the official source document for recording ICBM field operation duty time for input into ARMS. this form is also used to validate ICBM field duty time to attain or maintain professional standards. * time will be logged in blocks 13-16* (AIP) |
| Foreign Military Aviators | military aircrew member in the armed forces of a foreign country and is assigned to aviator duties in the USAF (exchange program AFI 16-107) |
| General Schedule Civilians (GS) | Civilians may be placed on flying status because specific mission requirements may need their expertise. (MAJCOM supplements) members must have an AO that corresponds with a military specialty and determined by position description. |
| Contract Aviators | not considered USAF or DOD employees, must abide by terms and conditions of current govt contract. contract must be approved by Govt flight reps(GFR), member must fly regulary, establish effective duty date and will not be placed on AOs. |
| Parachutists | are trained professionals who jump from military aircraft with the use of proper parachuting equipment. must maintain parachutist qual when assigned the duty to jump. |
| What is the primary database used to track parachutists qualification and currency data? | ARMS |
| What are the two categories that parachutists fall under? | Non jump inherent Jump inherent |
| Non jump inherent | someone who has an AFSC which doesnt normally require them to jump, but is allowed as long as there is a mission requirement and a parachutist position available. must maintain active status and currency. (HDIP) |
| Jump inherent | requires a member to perform deliberate, regular and reoccurring parachute duty to accomplish assigned missions. specific parachutist responsibilities, maintain jump skills and perform jump duties. |
| Non jump inherent members receive what prefix? | "J" |
| Non jump inherent example | 3P0X1 Security Forces |

| What AFI describes the two types of parachutist jump statuses? | AFI 10 -3503 |
| What are the two types of jump statuses? | Active Temporary |
| Active jump status | most common status, physically and medically fit, must fill a designated "J" coded UMD position or hold Jump inherent DAFSC and fulfill reqs for parachutist jump duties. ( given HDIP) |
| Temporary jump status | AFI 10-3503 allows unit commanders to request qualified members to be placed on active parachute status, this status is granted to members not currently on active status (no J code or jump inherent DAFSC) but req for short contingency operations. |

| What are the three parachutist qualifications? | Static line Military Free Fall Jump master |
| AF Form 3503 | primary source document for recording and reporting operational or training jump information for each Air Force member authorized to take part in parachute operations. official record to validate pay eligibility. |
| Who is responsible for distributing and collecting the jump forms once the mission is complete. | The Jump master |
| What office is responsible for inputs of the AF Form 3503 into the ARMS database. | The SARM or HARM (if no SARM applicable) |
| What is the Jump Activity Update Summary used for? (IAW AFI 10-3503) | to provide an audit Trail for individual jump activity. |
| What areas are checked when auditing the Jump Activity Update Summary? | Name, SSAN, Jump type, Jump conditions, Jump duty, Parachute type, Jump altitude, and Drop-Zone/Location. |
| IJR | Individual Jump Record- line by line entry of every jump made since the member's last PCS product was produced. the cumulative total of every jump type, conditions, and duties during the time period of the product. |
| JHR | Jump history report- consists of career totals as a jump student, parachutist, and JM for a single parachutists entire jump career. |
| JHR is broken down into three parts: | Career totals: student, parachutist, JM Jump type: HAHO (high alt, high open), HALO (high alt, low opening) Jump conditions: combat, night, free fall |
| IJAS | Individual jump activity summary- line by line of jumps from a date to date, shows total jump type, jump condition, jump duty, cumulative totals and historical jump data. |
