Other ATP, synthetic flight training system (SFTS), and An- nual Proficiency and Readiness Test (APART) requirements do not apply to officers performing duties per this paragraph. c. Officers performing limited cockpit duty do not meet the re- quirements for a copilot as specified in paragraph 4-24b unless they have undergone an instrument flight evaluation per paragraph 4-9b in the aircraft category being flown within the 12 month period prior to the flight or are undergoing instrument training.
(g) OR—aircraft maintenance personnel, technical observer, fire fighter, aerial photographer, gunner, or duties requiring flight. b. Mission. (1) A—acceptance test flight.

(5) T—training flight for individual qualification, refresher, mis- sion, or continuation. (6) X—experimental test flight. (7) D—imminent danger. Applies when Imminent Danger Spe- cial Pay is authorized per Department of Defense (DOD) Pay Manu- al, chapter 10. c. Flight condition.
Each crew member will use only one of the following symbols to identify the condition or mode of flight for any time period. (1) AA—air to air. (2) D—day. Between the hours of official sunrise and sunset. (3) DS—day vision system. Night vision system installed on aircraft used during the day; also logged when two or more devices are used. (4) H—hood/simulated IMC. Vision of the person flying the aircraft is artificially limited from viewing the horizon or earth surface. Aircraft attitude must be controlled using aircraft instru- ments. An observer is required for all hooded flights. (5) N—night. Between the hours of official sunset and sunrise. (6) NG—night goggles.
Night vision goggles used during night. (7) NS—night systems. Night vision system installed on aircraft used during night; also logged when two or more devices are used simultaneously. (8) W—weather. Actual weather conditions that do not permit visual contact with the horizon or earth surface. Aircraft attitude must be controlled using aircraft instruments. 2–5. Aircrew and maintenance checklists a. The publications and forms required by DA Pam 738-751 will be in each aircraft. b. Operator and crew member checklists will be used for before starting engines through before leaving aircraft checks.
While air- borne, when time does not permit use of the checklist or when its use would cause a safety hazard, required checks may be accom- plished from memory. c. Checklists will be used while making maintenance operational checks, maintenance test flights, and preventive maintenance inspec- tions . d. Only DA approved operator’s manuals and checklists will be used, except as specified in paragraph 9-5. 2–6. Logging flying time An entry will be made on DA Form 2408-12 (Army Aviator’s Flight Record) for each flight in aircraft and flight simulators by all c r e w m e m b e r s i n d i c a t i n g d u t i e s p e r f o r m e d , m i s s i o n , a n d f l i g h t condition. a. Duty.
Use the following symbols to record flight time when performing duties specified by the symbol. Only one aviator occu- pying a flight crew station may use any one of these symbols for any time period. Crew members instructing or evaluating from a n o n f l i g h t c r e w s t a t i o n w i l l u s e t h e s y m b o l f o r t h e d u t y b e i n g performed. (1) Rated Crew members. (a) PC—pilot in command. This symbol will not be used by a designated pilot in command who is performing assigned duties as IP, SP, UT, IE, ME, MP, or XP. In these cases, the specific symbol will be used to indicate the duty being performed by the pilot in command. (b) PI—pilot. (c) CP—copilot.
This symbol is used only by an aviator who is at a flightcrew station but is not qualified or current in the aircraft being flown, or performing copilot duties at other than a flightcrew station and is undergoing training or evaluations conducted by an IP, SP, IE, UT, or ME. For example: nap-of-the-earth (NOE) navi- gation, instrument navigation, and so forth. (d) SP—standardization instructor pilot. (e) IP—instructor pilot. (f) IE—instrument examiner. (g) UT—unit trainer. (h) ME—maintenance test pilot evaluator. (i) MP—maintenance test pilot. This symbol may be used by both aviators on functional test flights in two pilot aircraft when authorized by the commander.
(j) XP—experimental test pilot. This symbol may be used by both aviators on experimental or engineering flight tests when au- thorized by the commander. (2) Nonrated Crew members. (a) AO— aeroscout/aerial observer. (b) CE— crewchief, aircraft mechanic, and non-crew members designated by the commander and included in the unit’s ATP. (c) FE— flight engineer. (d) FI—nonrated crew member instructor. (e) SI—nonrated crew member standardization instructor. (f) MO—flight surgeon or other medical personnel. 2–7. Computation of flying time Flying time starts when an airplane begins to move forward on the takeoff roll or when a helicopter lifts off the ground.
Flying time ends when the aircraft has landed and the engines are stopped or the flying crew changes. 2–8. Individual flight records a. Each crew member must present his or her individual flight records to the unit to which assigned within 14 calendar days after reporting for duty. b. The flying experience and qualification data for each rated crew member and flight surgeon in aviation service and each non- rated crew member (AR 600-105 and AR 600-106) will be docu- mented in the DA Form 3513 (United States Army Individual Flight Records Folder (IFRF)).
DA Form 759 (Individual Flight Record and Flight Certificate—Army); DA Form 759-1 (Individual Flight Record and Flight Certificate—Army, Aircraft Closeout Summary); DA Form 759-2 (Individual Flight Record and Flight Certificate— Army, Flying Hour Work Sheet); and DA Form 759-3 (Individual F l i g h t R e c o r d a n d F l i g h t C e r t i f i c a t e — A r m y , F l i g h t R e c o r d a n d Flight Pay Work Sheet) are used to develop data for the permanent record. These forms are filed in the IFRF and become DA’s perma- nent statistical, historical, and personnel flight records. DA Form 759-3 becomes a part of the aeroscout observer’s permanent flight records.
Records are kept and distributed in accordance with FM 1- 300. c. Flight records will be prepared and kept on file for— (1) Aviators in operational aviation positions. (2) Aviators in nonoperational aviation positions and those re- stricted or prohibited by statute from flying Army aircraft. These records will be kept in an inactive file either with operational avia- tor files or with military personnel records as specified by MACOM commanders. (3) Other personnel authorized to take part in flights. (4) Persons attending initial entry flight training. 3 AR 95–1 • 1 September 1997
