thorough training and motivation of aircrew/support personnel, strict attention to duty, good judgment through
operational planning, and efficient use of resources.
2.2. Utilization of AMC Resources. CINCAMC is tasked with the efficient and economical use of the
airlift/tanker force to support DOD requirements. The TACC Director, COMMOBFORs, are responsible for
effective management of airlift/tanker resources under their operational control.
2.3. Waiver Requests to AMC Operational Directives. The available senior AMC commander may exercise
waiver authority under extraordinary conditions when life or property is in jeopardy and vital operational
necessity precludes prior approval. Submit a report through command channels to HQ AMC explaining the
reasons for such action. (See paragraph 3-8 for crew duty/rest waivers.)
2.3.1. Prior to passing waiver requests to the TACC, COMMOBFOR staff should ensure the waiver action
requested represents the COMMOBFOR position.
2.3.2. Ensure complete information within the scope of the situation is passed through command and control
center channels with a recommendation from the highest center in the chain of command.
2.3.3.. Commanders of AE squadrons have crew duty time waiver authority for aeromedical evacuation
crewmembers (AECMs) with the concurrence of the medical crew director (MCD) for missions not covered by a
specific AMCR 55-series; e.g., 55-9, 55-130, or 55-141. A written report describing the waiver will be submitted
to AMC/SGX by the squadron stan/eval office. All other waivers will be according to this regulation and reported
per paragraph 2.3.
2.3.4. For ARC UE units operating ARC missions, waiver authority is the HQ AFRES/DO or ANGRC/DO, as
appropriate.
2.4. Marginal Weather Conditions. AMC commanders at levels responsible for directing and monitoring air
mobility operations must ensure weather conditions are monitored and relayed to crews when weather conditions
are reported below weather minimums.
2.5. Rerouting/Diverting an Air Mobility Mission. Except in an emergency, or when required by en route or
terminal weather conditions or facilities, diversions or rerouting of air mobility missions must be authorized by the
CCC exercising operational control of the mission. The CCC directing the rerouting or diversion ensures the
capabilities of the affected aircraft are compatible with departure, en route, and destination requirements and
facilities. AFRES aircraft diversions must be coordinated with the AFRES Command Center (HQ
AFRES/DOOC)
2.6. Aircraft Capability to Use an Airfield The TACC Director/COMMOBFORs, will review the suitability of
airfields for use by AMC aircraft. EXCEPTION: The 89th Airlift Wing (AW) will evaluate suitability of
airfields for their planned operations. ANGRC/DO has the authority to review/evaluate suitability of airfields for

flights on the AMC Form 41, Flight Authorization, in accordance with AFR 60-1/AMCSUP 1. Aircraft
commanders are:
2.11.1. In command of all persons aboard the aircraft.
2.11.2. Responsible for the welfare of the crew and the safe accomplishment of the mission. This begins upon
notification of the mission and terminates upon mission completion.
2.11.3. Vested with the authority necessary to manage their cr"-> and accomplish the mission.
2.11.4. The final mission authority and will make decisions not specifically assigned to higher authority.
2.11.5. The final authority for accepting any waiver affecting their crew or mission.
2.11.6. Charged to keep the applicable commander informed concerning mission progress and/or difficulties.
2.12. Mission Clearance Decision. The decision to delay a mission may be made either by the controlling
agency or the aircraft commander when, in the opinion of either, conditions are not safe to start/continue a
mission. Final responsibility for the safe conduct of the mission rests with the aircraft commander. If the aircraft

CREW COMPLEMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Section A-Aircrew Complements
3.1. General. Personnel assigned as a primary aircrew member on a flight, or who occupy a primary crew
position during flight, must be properly qualified, certified, and current in that crew position and aircraft in which
performing duties. Qualification and currency will be as specified in AFR 60-1 and applicable 51-series
regulations. Exceptions to this policy are outlined in AFR 60-1/AMCSUP 1. ANG aircrews will comply with
NGR(AF) 60-01.
3.2. Crew Complement. The crew complement for basic and augmented crews will be as outlined in the
appropriate volume of AMCR 55-XXX.
Section B-Crew Scheduling
3.3. Scheduling. Commanders will comply with AFR 60-1, AMCR 60-1, and the appropriate AMCR 55-XXX.
In addition, ANG comply with NGR (AF) 60-01.
3.4. Not Used
Section C-Crew Management
3.5. General. The aircraft commander is ultimately responsible for the management of his crew from mission
notification until termination at home station.
3.6. Alerting Procedures:
3.6.1. Crew alerts are normally 3+15 (4+15, C-5, KC-10 and KC-135) prior to scheduled takeoff time to allow
one hour for reporting and 2+15 (3+15, C-5) for mission preparation. (Exception: C-9 alerts may be 3+00 for
2+00 mission preparation.) Additional mission preparation time for airdrop missions is authorized if required.
Early alerting to provide additional reporting and/or mission preparation time is authorized only when absolutely
essential for mission accomplishment. Waiver authority is AMC/DO (HQ AFRES/DO for AFRES aircraft on
AFRES missions and ANGRC/DO for ANG aircraft on ANG missions). ANGRC/DO grants ANG aircraft
commanders the authority to self alert on ANG missions.
3.6.2. Crews are not alerted until aircraft is in commission or there is reasonable assurance that the estimated time
in commission will meet the proposed takeoff time.
3.6.3.. If no CCC or other control agency is available, crews will self-alert. Self-alert procedures may also be
used for tactical formation and/or local training missions. For all other missions, crews are alerted by the
responsible command and control center unless home station local procedures require self-alert.
3.6.4.. Crew Alerting on Inbound Aircraft. On missions where a crew change is planned and the authorized
ground time is four hours and 15 minutes or less, aircrews may be alerted on an inbound maintenance status A-l,
A-2, or A-3. Outbound crews are not alerted on A-2 or A-3 status until required parts are known to be available
and maintenance feels reasonably certain the aircraft can be in-commission within the planned ground time.
3.7. Crew Duty Time (CDT). Maximum crew duty times are specified in the appropriate AMCR 55-XXX.
(ARC air mobility crews will comply with AFR 60-1, in addition ANG crews comply with NGR (AF) 60-01.)
Crew duty time will not be changed after show time. The mission directive, not crew compliment, will determine
crew duty time.
16
AMCR
55-1
20
August
1992
3.7.1. Crew duty time begins one hour after alert. Exceptions:
3.7.1.1. Self-alerts based on scheduled show time or for crew convenience, CDT begins at scheduled/established
show time.
3.7.1.2. Crewmembers performing other duties prior to flight-related duties, CDT begins when reporting for other
duties.
3.7.1.3. ALFA standby, CDT begins when the unit is told to launch.
3.7.1.4. BRAVO standby, CDT begins when the crew shows for duty (OSA aircraft when told to launch).
3.7.1.5. CHARLIE ALERT, CDT, if alerted, begins when die crew shows for launch.
3.7.2.. Crew duty time ends when the aircraft blocks in at the end of the mission. Exceptions:
3.7.2.1. Crew duty time does not end if any crewmember must remain at the aircraft to refuel, on/offload,
perform maintenance, etc. Normally, these duties should not be performed after maximum crew duty time has
expired.
3.7.2.2. Communication system operators may exceed crew duty time if the final portion of a mission or series of
mission segments can be conducted without their services, and if they do not exceed authorized crew duty time up
to this point. They will be credited with flying time, but not assigned crew duties.
3.7.2.3. Flight examiners, when administering evaluations and not occupying a primary crew position, may not
exceed the crew duty time established for an augmented crew in that design aircraft.
3.7.2.4. Time spent traveling as a passenger immediately before acting as an aircrew member counts as crew duty
time.
3.7.2.5. Deadhead crewmembers will not exceed the crew duty times established for an augmented crew in their
design aircraft. Crewmembers may deadhead following duties as a primary crewmember provided their combined
crew duty day does not exceed the time established for an augmented crew in their design aircraft. (Exception:
C-130 crewmembers will not exceed a 24-hour crew day.)
3.7.3 Multiple qualified AECMs may perform duties on more than one aircraft during any single crew duty
period. The crew duty times established in AMCR 55-XXX for an augmented crew must not be exceeded.
3.7.3.1. Multiple qualified AECMs must be augmented per AMCR 164-1 from initial reporting. The
circumstances associated with the multiple aircraft mission itinerary must allow for the establishment of an
adequate inflight work/rest plan whereby no single AECM will exceed 16 hours of continuous duty without rest.
3.8. Waivers to Crew Duty Time/Rest. Policy below applies for active and reserve associate aircrews. The HQ
AFRES/DO is the approving authority for AFRES missions. ANGRC/DO is the approving authority for ANG
missions ANG units will comply with NGR (AF) 60-01.
3.8.1.. For crews that have begun crew duty time, waiver authority for flight duty period is the TACC,
COMMOBFOR and 89 AW/CC. Exception: The aircraft commander is approval authority for crew duty day
extensions up to 2 hours.
3.8.1.1. Aircraft commander concurrence is required prior to initiating waiver requests. Send requests through
appropriate CCC channels The commander or designated OPR (normally aircrew stan/eval) evaluates each
AMCR
55-1
20
August
1992
17
request on an individual basis with special emphasis on increased risk, available alternatives, mission priorities,
weather, etc. Aircrew stan/eval should coordinate on each request if not designated as OPR
3.8.1.2. Waivers are granted only for the next mission leg.
3.8.2. For missions in progress, send waiver requests for other provisions in this section and maximum flying time
(125/330) through DOV channels for approval. Waiver authority is the AMC/DO (HQ AFRES/DO for AFRES
missions and ANGRC/DO for ANG missions).
3.8.3. When waivers to this section are anticipated prior to mission operation, send requests through DOV
channels for approval. Waiver authority is AMC/DO (HQ AFRES/DO for AFRES missions and ANGRC/DO for
ANG missions).
3.9. Stage Management.
3.9.1. Stage Posture. Stages operate on a directional basis. Alert sequence is as follows:
3.9.1.1. Crews requiring an emergency return to home station.
3.9.1.2. Crews with scheduled return time (SRT).
3.9.1.3. Crews in stage over 48 hours.
3.9.1.4. Crews in sequence of arrival time.
NOTE: If a stage crew is forced to return to crew rest because of a mission delay or abort, that crew becomes first
out when legal for alert.
3.9.2. Mechanical Stage. Mechanical stages may be established by the CCC where no crews are staged. The
stage is created when a mission is delayed or aborted, and the crew goes into crew rest. Mechanically staged
crews become first out in the same direction when legal for alert. An inbound crew may be bumped from the
mission even though they have sufficient duty time remaining to complete that mission. ARC UE strategic air
mobility units will not stage.
3.10. Crew Release Policy. Crews should be granted as much free time as operationally feasible. Upon the
aircrew's initial arrival or reentry into crew rest, the CCC will establish an expected alert time based on a thorough
analysis of current schedules, itineraries, aircraft maintenance, movement and advisory messages, and crew rest
requirements. The crew may not be alerted or otherwise disturbed before this time except for emergencies. After
the expected alert time has been set, the CCC, with the concurrence of the aircraft commander, will establish the
latest allowable alert time not later than 6 hours after the expected alert time for all type missions except actual
contingencies. If circumstances warrant, aircraft commanders, at their discretion, may extend the window 8 hours
as a primary crew or 12 hours as a deadhead crew. CCC will not request the aircrew accept more than a 6-hour
window. This alert window applies to exercises, staging, and home station predeparture crew rest, including
rotational TDY stations.
3.10.1. If the CCC determines that a crew will not be alerted in the allowable alert time span, then at the time of
determination, but no earlier than the crew's expected alert time, the CCC will:
3.10.1.1. Reenter the crew into crew rest of not less than 12 hours and establish a new expected alert time.
3.10.1.2. Notify the aircraft commander and establish a new latest allowable alert time.
18
AMCR
55-1
20
August
1992
3.10.2. If the latest-allowable alert time expires, at that time:

3.10.2.1. The crew reenters crew rest of no less than 12 hours.
3.10.2.2. The aircraft commander will contact CCC to determine the next expected alert time and to establish a
new latest-allowable alert time.
3.11. Home Station Predeparture Crew Rest (Includes Rotational TDY Stations and Rescue). Give
crewmembers, including those in administrative positions, predeparture crew rest (not applicable to ANG).
3.11.1. Provide crewmembers (deadhead or primary) on missions with scheduled time exceeding a basic crew
duty day a crew rest period beginning 24 hours before reporting for a mission. During the first 12 hours of this
period, a crewmember may accomplish limited nonflying duties, including mission planning. Waiver authority is
OG/CC for the first 12 hours. The second 12-hour period is inviolate; no duties may be performed. Infringement
of the inviolate crew rest period will necessitate the start of another 12-hour inviolate crew rest period. AFRES
units will comply with AFR 60-1 and ANG units will comply with ANGR 60-1.
EXCEPTION: 89 AW, aeromedical and operational support airlift crewmembers, will be provided a crew rest
period beginning 12 hours before reporting for a mission. This 12-hour period is inviolate; no duties may be
performed. Infringement of the inviolate crew rest period will effect the start of another 12-hour inviolate crew
rest period. When mission requirements permit, give crewmembers departing on missions exceeding a basic crew
duty day 24 hours crew rest prior to reporting for a mission.
3.11.2. Provide crewmembers on missions with scheduled duration less than a basic crew duty day, including
training missions, a crew rest period beginning 12 hours before reporting for a mission. If crewmembers perform
other duties during this period, crew duty time begins at the time they report for other duties and have had 12
hours inviolate crew rest prior to reporting for those duties.
3.11.3. When a mission departure time is established, notify crewmembers of a specific time to start predeparture
crew rest. Notification must be prior to actual start of crew rest and provided in sufficient time to allow the
crewmembers to restructure their schedule of work and rest so as to report for the mission in an optimum physical
state.
3.11.4. After a crewmember has started the 12-hour period of predeparture crew rest immediately preceding the
reporting time, establish an allowable alert time. This time starts at the anticipated mission reporting time and
lasts for six hours, after which, if the crew is not alerted, give them an additional 12 hours inviolate crew rest.
3.12. En Route Crew Rest. (ARC air mobility units adhere to AFR 60-1 or NGR (AF) 60-01 requirements, as
applicable.) Waiver authority for this paragraph rests with TACC. Minimum ground time.between arrival and
departure is 15+15, 16+15 for C-5, KC-10 and KC-135, 17+15 for nuclear airlift missions, and starts when the
aircraft blocks in. Whenever it is necessary for a primary aircrew member (except as provided in paragraph
3.12.3.3. below), to remain with an aircraft after arrival to perform maintenance, refueling, etc., the allotted
ground time for the entire aircrew begins at the termination of that crewmember's duty.
3.12.1. The TACC Director or DTACC should establish ground time in excess of normal at designated en route
stations to provide aircrews, flying several consecutive days away from home station, Uie opportunity to overcome
the cumulative effects of fatigue.
3.12.2. The aircraft commander is authorized to modify normal ground time when:
3.12.2.1. It is in the interest of safety
3.12.2.2. The mission is behind schedule. The AC may then request less than normal ground time prior to
AMCR
55-1
20
August
1992
19
beginning crew rest. The crew will not report for a flight until at least 12 hours have elapsed since termination of
the previous crew duty period. The CCC will not request the AC to accept less than normal ground time.
3.12.2.3. The aircrew has completed three consecutive maximum crew duty days. The aircraft commander may
declare a total of up to 36 hours ground time. At stage locations, this aircrew's position in the stage is determined
by projected alert time and not on a first-in, first-out basis.
3.12.3. Loadmaster/Boom Operator Crew Rest Provisions:
3.12.3.1. When troops, passengers, or patients are carried (except C-5 and on nuclear airlift missions), the normal
crew rest provisions of this paragraph apply.
3.12.3.2. For C-5 aircraft, the crew rest provisions for the loadmaster designated as troop compartment/passenger
loadmaster are the same as the rest of the crew. The allotted ground time for the entire crew begins at the
termination of passenger loadmaster's duty when required to remain at the aircraft after arrival. This crew rest
provision is applicable any time passengers are carried into an en route station or are to be carried outbound.
3.12.3.3. On C-5 cargo missions, all other loadmasters are excluded from the normal crew rest provisions
provided they receive sufficient rest en route to ensure continued efficiency. Aircraft commanders will ensure
that the loadmaster have the opportunity to sleep eight hours out of each 24 hours. For C-130/C-141/C-17
loadmasters and KC-10/KC-135 boom operators, the crew rest provisions are the same as for the rest of the crew.
3.12.4. Crew Chief Crew Rest Provisions. The crew chief is responsible to the aircraft commander. The AC, in
conjunction with the en route station chief of maintenance, will determine how long the crew chief can safely
perform aircraft recovery actions. The crew chief must have the opportunity to sleep eight hours of each 24-hour
period.
3.12.5. Deadhead Crewmembers. Normally, deadhead crewmembers are given en route crew rest upon arriving
at their destination and prior to being used as a primary crewmember. However, they may be used as a primary
crewmember prior to entering crew rest provided they do not exceed a basic crew day which began when they
reported for the original departure. En route crew rest is the same as primary crewmembers. Aircrews in
deadhead status may, at their option, request a 12-hour alert window.
3.13. Aircraft Not Capable of Departure. (Not applicable to ARC air mobility units.)
3.13.1. Operational Missions. If an aircraft is not in commission or otherwise capable of departure within six
hours after the aircrew reports to a designated place of duty (for example, CCC, TALCE, base operations, etc.),
return the aircrew to crew rest. Exceptions may be granted only with the concurrence of the aircraft commander.
3.13.2. Training Missions. If an aircraft is not in commission or otherwise capable of departure within four hours
after scheduled departure time, training missions will be canceled (not applicable to ANG). Exceptions may be
granted only with the concurrence of the aircraft commander.
3.14. Home Station Postmission Crew Rest (Not applicable to ARC.) Postmission crew rest begins
immediately upon return to home station and is inviolate during normal day-to-day operations. Waiver authority
for postmission crew rest will not be delegated below the OG/CC. Crewmembers will not be required to obtain
immunizations, engage in ground training, perform squadron duties, stand by the telephone, or any other similar
activity. Postmission crew rest must be totally completed before starting predeparture crew rest for a subsequent
mission.
3.14.1. TDY in Excess of One Basic Crew Duty Day. Give one hour of crew rest time for each three hours of
time absent in TDY status. Postmission crew rest time will not exceed 72 hours, except when authorized by the
unit commander.

3.14.2. TDY of Less Than One Basic Crew Duty Day. Provide sufficient crew rest time to resolve personal
affairs.
3.15. Standby Duty: (Not applicable to ARC.)
3.15.1. Prestandby Crew Rest. Provide ALFA, BRAVO, and CHARLIE aircrew members a 12-hour inviolate
crew rest period preceding the start of standby duty. If an anticipated mission will be away from home station in
excess of 24 hours, 24 hours prestandby crew rest prior to ALFA or BRAVO alert will be given.
3.15.2. Poststandby Mission. Upon completion of standby duty, aircrew members may be dispatched on a
mission.
3.15.2.1. Standby duty and predeparture crew rest may be concurrent if notification is provided at least 12 hours
before departure.
3.15.2.2. If started, poststandby crew rest must be completed before start of predeparture crew rest.
3.15.2.3. If an aircrew member is dispatched on a mission in lieu of poststandby crew rest, compute the
postmission crew rest time on standby time, plus mission time.
3.15.3.Poststandby Crew Rest. Aircrew members not dispatched on a mission following standby duty will receive
poststandby crew rest as follows:
3.15.3.1. If standby duty was performed away from normal quarters, crew rest time is computed from standby
time on the same basis as for mission time.
3.15.3.2. If standby duty was performed in normal quarters, no crew rest time is authorized.
3.15.4. Waiver authority for maximum standby crew duty time rests with AMC/DO.
3.16. AMC/DO Waiver Authority AMC/DO waiver authority specified in this section may be further
delegated to the TACC Director or COMMOBFOR for forces operationally assigned to them.
Section DAMC Special Categories of Travel. Special category travel authorizations will be strictly controlled.
Such authorizations will be documented by written orders or message/letter request/reply and subject to audit at
any time.
3.17. Additional Crewmembers:
3.17.1. Policy Governing ACM Authorization. An ACM is one assigned to, or authorized to accompany, the
normal aircrew complement. The commander who authorizes ACM status must ensure the individual is eligible
and familiar with the policies and procedures governing ACM travel.
3.17.1.1. Personnel Eligible for ACM. The individual must:
3.17.1.1.1. Possess valid aeronautical orders in accordance with AFR 60-13.

operated by their unit or under their operational control. ARC flying unit commanders will approve ACM status
for eligible individuals on specific flights operated by ARC UE units.
3.17.2.2. AMC wiiig/CCs, as a AMC/ATC buddy wing host, may approve ACM status for Air Training
Command pilots on AMC training missions conducted for the purposes stated in Air Training Command
Regulation 51-7.
3.17.2.3. Medical Personnel:
3.17.2.3.1. USAF Medical Service Corps officers, including ARC personnel, assigned to aeromedical evacuation
units or HQ AMC/SG office, who are on aeronautical orders and required to participate in frequent and regular
aerial flights in an operational support status (as aeromedical evacuation operations officers (AEOOs)), may be
granted ACM status on air mobility missions by local flying unit commanders or AMC/SGXO, as appropriate, for
the purpose of positioning/depositioning for aeromedical evacuation missions. Logging flying time on
positioning/depositioning aircraft or aircraft for which AEOO has not completed appropriate training is not
authorized. AEOOs on aeromedical evacuation missions will log flying time per AFR 60-1/AMCSUP 1.
3.17.2.3.2. When a physician and/or specialized medical personnel are required on AMC aeromedical evacuation
missions, they are assigned as medical attendants and ACM status is not required.
3.17.2.3.3. Medical personnel:
3.17.2.3.3.1. Flight surgeons and residents of aerospace medicine students may be granted ACM status on any
AMC aircraft which is collocated at their duty station by local flying unit commanders. Flying time and sorties
will be logged as appropriate. At en route stations that AMC aircraft transit, flight surgeons may request ACM
status to familiarize themselves with the AMC mission. The senior AMC representative at the en route station
will review these requests and forward them to HQ AMC/SGPA and HQ AMC/DOV for approval on a case-bycase basis. (ACM status is not appropriate for travel to and from conferences.)
3.17.2.3.3.2. Medical personnel possessing current aeronautical orders, but not included above, will apply through
channels to HQ AMC/SGPA for ACM approval. HQ AMC/SGPA is approving authority for aeromedical
missions. Request to travel on missions other than aeromedical evacuation are reviewed by HQ AMC/SGPA and
forwarded to HQ AMC/DOV for approval. (ACM status is not appropriate for travel to and from conferences.)
3.17.2.3.3.3. Medical personnel granted ACM status on aeromedical evacuation missions are considered part of
the medical crew and are seated in the cabin of the aircraft. ACM status does not necessarily authorize logging of

Form 41, Flight Authorization.

3.17.4. Procedures:
3.17.4.1. Forward requests for ACM status to the approving agency 10 days prior to the expected date of
departure. Include name, rank, aircrew qualification, organization, reason for travel, proposed itinerary, and
dates, and a statement of compliance with the Foreign Clearance Guide procedures (see United States Air Force
Foreign Clearance Guide) applicable to area of travel. Individuals require a security clearance appropriate to the
mission being performed. AFRES units will provide information copies to appropriate NAF/DO and HQ
AFRES/DOT
3.17.4.2. Coordination of ACM Travel. Individuals will coordinate their travel with the appropriate command
and control agency prior to travel. Medical ACMs anticipating travel on aeromedical evacuation C-9 aircraft
require prior approval from the AECC for domestic flights and the appropriate aeromedical evacuation squadron
for flights in the overseas areas. When flying ACM on aircraft other than the OSA, C-9, C-5, C-17 and C-141,
each individual will have an oxygen mask available that is compatible with the oxygen system of the aircraft.
3.17.4.3. ACM En Route Procedures. ACMs, including qualified AMC crewmembers who depart a crew to
remain TDY in a foreign country with different clearance requirements for general entry and aircrew entry, must
comply with both requirements.
3.17.4.3.1. Personnel on ACM status who intend to remain on station will furnish the CCC with:
3.17.4.3.1.1. Travel authorization indicating ACM status.
3.17.4.3.1.2. Location while on station.

3.17.4.3.2. Personnel on ACM status continuing travel will:
3.17.4.3.2.1. Advise CCC of intentions to continue travel.
3.17.4.3.2.2. Furnish the CCC with travel authorization indicating ACM status.
3.17.4.4. Briefings. The aircraft commander or representative briefs all ACMs. The extent of the briefing is
commensurate with the qualification of the ACM in that design aircraft. Personnel authorized ACM status on
nuclear cargo missions are briefed on procedures, either by the operating unit or the aircraft commander.
3.17.4.5. Orders. Authority to travel as ACM should be cited in the travel orders. If ACM authority is not cited
in the travel orders, a letter or message citing ACM authority may be attached to travel orders. See AFR 107/AMCSUP 1 for statement to use in orders.
3.17.4.6. Logging of Flying Time. ACMs are not entitled to log flying time unless performing a crew duty.
Positioning/depositioning aircrew members are not authorized to log flying time unless required and authorized to
augment a crew position and perform inflight duties. Flight nurse or medical technician examiners must be
performing basic, instructor, or evaluation duties to log time.
3.17.4.7. Procedures. The CCCs will coordinate with the air terminal operations centers as early as possible to
ensure that required space is available for ACMs. Cargo or mail will be displaced when necessary on cargo or
mixed missions to accommodate ACMs. ACMs will report to the appropriate command and control facility for
accountability.
3.17.5. Priority of ACM Travel. Aircrew flight examiners have priority over all other ACMs and will not be
24
AMCR

displaced by any other ACM. Priority of travel for flight examiners is: (a) HQ AMC; (b) AMC NAF; (c)
wing/group; (d) squadron/detachment. AMC NAF, wing/group, and squadron/detachment flight examiners have
priority on aircraft of their respective unit over examiners (equal or higher echelon) of another AMC NAF,
wing/group, or squadron/detachment. When the number of ACMs exceed the seating capacity of the crew
compartment, the CCC advises the Air Terminal Operations Center at the earliest possible time which, in turn,
will coordinate with the passenger reservation activity so seats not previously assigned to duty passengers or
emergency leaves can be used. ARC ACMs have priority on their unit aircraft. ACMs have priority over space
available passengers. The CCC verifies that ACM authorization has been issued by the proper approval authority,
attaches a copy of the ACM authorization to the flight clearance, and assigns ACM personnel to missions
according to the instructions contained in their travel orders.
3.18. Mobility Mission Observer (MMO) Program. MMO is a CINCAMC program designed to acquaint nonAMC general/flag officers and civilian equivalents, commanders/senior enlisted advisors of selected AMC
nonliving units, and other individuals invited by CINCAMC with the AMC mission. General/flag officers of
three- and four-star rank and civilian equivalents may be accompanied by one assigned aide, executive officer, or
military escort. MMOs accompany aircrews on AMC organic aircraft and may occupy a seat on the flight deck
during all phases of flight with the concurrence of the aircraft commander.
3.18.1. MMOs must be in official TDY status and meet air transportation eligibility requirements of DOD
4515.13R.
3.18.2. MMO approval does not fulfill requirements of the USAF Foreign Clearance Guide nor constitute theater
clearance.
3.18.3. Forward requests for MMO authority, including name, social security account number, duty title,
proposed itinerary, and point of contact to HQ AMC/DO for approval 10 days prior to expected date of departure.
MMOs may travel on all AMC aircraft except contract air mobility missions, 89 AW missions, and SAAM
conducted per AMCR 55-18. Cite MMO travel status in travel orders per AFR 10-7/AMCSUP 1, or use a copy of
the MMO approval for authentication. The requester is responsible for coordinating MMO travel with the TACC
at least two days prior to proposed travel date to ensure availability of mission to meet the traveler's needs.
3.18.4. Passenger service processes and manifests MMO travelers as space-required passengers. An AMC
Transportation Authorization is not required.
3.19. Mission Essential Ground Personnel. MEGP status is granted to individuals on a case-by-case basis who
perform unique support duties directly related and essential to a particular aircraft, aircrew, or numbered mission.
These duties require direct access to the aircraft and/or aircrew during ground or flight operations. MEGP travel
in passenger status, but report through the command and control center to the aircraft commander. If the number
of MEGPs exceeds four per aircraft, the appropriate AMC command and control agency (other than aircrew) will
ensure manifesting and antihijacking is accomplished for these persons prior to their reporting to the aircraft.
They are authorized flight deck seating with aircraft commander approval. Commanders will ensure that MEGP
status is not used for travel at a higher priority than or in lieu of regular passenger travel, for avoidance of travel
expenses, or for travel while on leave MEGPs will not be bumped en route without TACC, or COMMOBFOR
approval.
3.19.1. Approval Authority. MEGP travel status will be strictly controlled and approved by DOV only for those
with a bona fide mission essential purpose. The local command and control agency may also review and approve,
after normal duty hours and on weekends, "short notice" MEGP requests within the guidelines of this paragraph.
Approval will be annotated in the margin of official orders.
3.19.1.1. AMC/ARC, NAF, and flying wing/group/unit commanders may approve MEGP status for personnel on
unit aircraft or aircraft under their control. Examples of eligible personnel are, but not limited to, chaplains,
senior enlisted advisors, maintenance personnel, maintenance recovery teams, TALCE, security police, AIRCCS
AMCR

photographers, safety, public affairs, and unit intelligence personnel. TALCE cadre officers may use the
secondary aircraft radio with aircraft commander approval, but only during noncritical phases of flight.
3.19.1.2. Documentation maintenance and recording technicians of the 2 CTCS are authorized MEGP status only
when actively participating in an actual Airport Qualification Program mission. This authorization will not be
used for travel to or from points where an Airport Qualification Program mission originates/terminates.
3.19.1.3. HQ AMC/DOV approves MEGP status for all other personnel. (HQ AFRES/DO has approval authority
for AFRES unit-equipped unit personnel and the ANGRC/DO for ANG personnel.)
3.19.1.4. Nonmedical personnel assigned to medical/aeromedical evacuation units requiring MEGP on
aeromedical missions will forward requests to HQ AMC/SGXO for approval. Requests for travel on missions
other than aeromedical evacuation are reviewed by HQ AMC/SGXO and forwarded to HQ AMC/DOV for
approval.
3.19.2. Procedures. Forward requests for MEGP status to the approving agency ten days prior to the expected
date of departure. (EXCEPTION: AIRCCS, intelligence, or public affairs immediate MEGP requests in support
of DOD contingencies may be coordinated by telephone with HQ AMC/DOV.) Include name, rank, organization,
reason for travel, proposed itinerary, and dates. Provide information copy of request to appropriate HQ AMC staff
agency; i.e., HQ AMC/PA, HQ AMC/CMS, etc..
3.19.2.1. Orders. MEGP approval should be cited in travel orders. Following is an example statement: MEGP is
authorized by (appropriate wing/NAF/AMC/DOV) on (aircraft number and/or mission number/exercise or
contingency name) for (duration, i.e., 22-27 Jun 88). Approval (name of approving DOV individual and phone
number.) MEGP authority may also be cited in a letter or message using the statement above.
3.19.2.2. Coordination of MEGP Travel. Individuals will coordinate their travel with the appropriate current
operations function prior to travel. It is imperative that mission operators and air terminal operations centers are
aware of MEGP requirements when scheduling missions and crews. Individuals joining missions en route will
present their travel orders to the appropriate AMC command and control agency at least three hours prior to
intended travel.
3.19.2.3. Aircrew Procedures. With the concurrence of the aircraft commander and seats permitting, MEGP may
be seated on the flight deck/crew compartment during takeoff and landing. Simulated emergencies, to include noflap landings, are prohibited. Touch-and-go landings are allowed.
3.20. Incentive Flights. Unit commanders (wing, group, squadron, or detachment) may authorize limited
numbers of unit-assigned military members to accompany their unit aircraft on unit missions. The purpose of
these incentive flights will be to acquaint the individual with aircrew duties and the unique support activities
required for the unit's mission. The flights are not used for transportation in lieu of regular passenger travel, for
avoidance of travel expense, or for leave.
3.20.1. Individuals will report directly to the crew (escorted by a crewmember) for the mission duration. They
are passengers, but will be manifested by the sponsoring unit and antihijack inspected by the aircrew.
3.20.2. These individuals are authorized seating on the flight deck. They will not take precedence over ACM.
