The restriction will apply to all aircraft with similar operating and handling characteristics as listed in paragraph 4-19. Restrictions will be listed in the IATF and will remain in effect until successful completion of a reevaluation. (1) When the failure is in the crew member’s primary aircraft, the commander: (a) Must reclassify the individual to the appropriate RL. (b) Must authorize additional training if necessary.
(c) For aviators, reevaluate or impose a temporary suspension from flying duties. If suspension is imposed, flight evaluation board provisions of AR 600-105 apply. ( d ) F o r n o n r a t e d c r e w m e m b e r s , r e - e v a l u a t e o r r e m o v e f r o m flight status per AR 600-106. (2) When the failure is in a crew member’s additional or alternate aircraft, the commander must:: (a) Reclassify the individual to the appropriate RL. (b) Authorize additional training if necessary. ( c ) R e e v a l u a t e o r r e s t r i c t t h e c r e w m e m b e r f r o m p e r f o r m i n g flight duties in that aircraft. Table 4–1 Synthetic flight training system—Continued Designation:

Civilian flight time for RC aviators Civilian flight time or tasks may be credited toward the ATM requirements of RC aviators at the commander’s discretion. a. Tasks performed in Army aircraft by civilians will be credited toward applicable ATM requirements. b. Commanders may give credit for tasks performed in civilian aircraft if the tasks are similar in all respects to the ATM task requirements. c.
Flight time acquired in Army aircraft by RC aviators while employed by the Government, or flight time acquired in civilian aircraft will not be used as the following: 4–11. Synthetic flight training system requirements a. Active and RC rotary-wing aviators must use the SFTS for their primary aircraft. Annual training requirements are based upon distance to the simulator device. b. Training requirements may be reduced based upon distance the aviator must travel to the SFTS (except FAC3 designated aviators). For distance considerations the following minimum training require- ments apply: (1) Active component aviators.
(Distance expressed is from the aviator’s station of assignment per AR 55-60.) (a) 0-25SM - per the ATM. (b) 26-100SM - 12 hours. (c) 101-200SM - 6 hours. (d) 201SM and over - no mandatory hour requirement. (2) Reserve component aviators. (Distance expressed from avia- tor’s flight facility to the SFTS facility.) (a) 0-100SM - 12 hours. (b) 101-200SM - 6 hours. (c) 201SM and over - no mandatory requirement. c. Units located beyond 201SM should set up SFTS programs when it is cost effective and feasible. d. SFTS requirements may be prorated per TC 1-210. e.
For aviators whose primary aircraft does not have a compatible simulator (table 4-1), annual SFTS requirements will be determined by the commander. A maximum of 6 hours semiannually may be credited toward rotary wing aviators flying hour minimums in a non-compatible SFTS device. f. Helicopter SFTS simulators are listed in table 4-1. g. Fixed-wing aviators (primary aircraft) may receive up to 6 flight hours credit toward ATM requirements utilizing a compatible simulator. Flight hour credit must be approved by the MACOM or NGB. (1) Training instead of unit training assemblies. (2) Additional flight training periods (AFTP).
(3) Entitlement to aviation career incentive pay, total operational flying duty credit, or retirement points. 4–13. Additional flight training periods a. The AFTP program allocates additional flight training periods for RC aircrews and flight surgeons to reach and maintain required levels of proficiency. All RC aviators, flight surgeons, and nonrated crew members in aviation service may take part in the AFTP pro- gram. The program will be per AR 140-1. b. Entitlement to pay and allowances for AFTPs is authorized as inactive duty training as prescribed by DOD Military Pay and Al- lowances (MPA) Entitlement Manual. 4–14.
Aeromedical training Flight crew members will receive aeromedical and low pressure/ high altitude training per the appropriate ATM and TC 1-210. 4–15. Ejection seat training a. Requirement. Flight crew members, maintenance personnel, and passengers on ejection seat equipped aircraft must complete qualification and annual refresher training per TC 1-210. b. Waivers. MACOMs, and Commander, USAAVNC, may waive training requirements for passengers. The pilot in command will brief the passengers to ensure that ejection seat safety practices and procedures are understood. 4–16. Deck-landing operations training a. Requirement.
Flight crew members must complete deck land- ing qualification (DLQ) and be current with the most current Army/ Air Force Deck Landing Operations Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) prior to conducting Naval deck landing operations.
