|
What is HDIP?
|
HDIP is a special pay given to non-career aviators, operational support members, and parachutists, as an
incentive for performing certain hazardous duties. |
|
What must non-career aviators and operational support members do in order to receive HDIP?
|
They must fly the required number of hours, monthly, in order to receive HDIP.
|
|
Briefly explain how to use the calendar month table.
|
It is used to determine the amount of flying hours required for a member in conditional pay status. The table is divided into two columns: active and inactive duty. Use the Active Duty column when determining the
amount of flying hours required for an active duty member; the Inactive Duty column is for ARC members only. Fractions of a calendar month are used when a member is placed or removed from flying status during any day in a calendar month. This means the flying hour requirement is based on the number of days the member is on flying status for the month. For instance, if the member was on flying status for 15 days in a month, he or she would have a flight requirement of 2.0 hours for that month. |
|
Which form is used to assist in tracking a member’s flight time for conditional pay purposes?
|
The AF IMT 1520, ARMS Individual Flight Pay Entitlement Worksheet.
|
|
Explain how a member gets excess flight time.
|
Excess flight time occurs when a member flies and exceeds the minimum flight time requirement for the
month. |
|
What is a grace period?
|
A window where pay action is purposely delayed while a member attempts to meet flight time
requirements. It is a maximum three-month period given to the member to accrue sufficient flying hours for a previous month or months when a shortfall in flight time occurs. |
|
When would a grace period begin for a member who was placed on flying status 1 March and does not meet the flight requirement for the month?
|
In March
|
|
For what month(s) does a member receive incentive pay if enough flying hours were not accrued
during the first two months of a grace period, but at least 12.0 hours were accrued by the end of the third month? |
For all three months.
|
|
List the order you would apply flying hours for incentive pay purposes.
|
(1) First apply the hours flown during the month to meet the current month’s flight requirement.
(2) Next if the member is in a grace period, apply any excess flight time accrued during the month to meet the flight time requirements of the previous month(s). If the full grace period requirement is not satisfied, excess flight time will apply only to those months in which flight activity was performed. (3) Finally apply any banked flight time (excess and insufficient hours) to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth succeeding months only to the extent the member fails to meet the flight requirement of each month. Use the oldest hours first. |
|
For how long may a member in a continuous incentive pay status continue to receive incentive pay when grounded?
|
From the date of incapacitation through the day prior to the date of disqualification.
|
|
When a member is suspended, what effective date would you use to terminate the member’s
incentive pay? |
One calendar day prior to the effective date of the suspension until the member’s status is resolved.
|
|
What happens to a member’s incentive pay when the member becomes disqualified from aviation service?
|
Incentive pay is not authorized for any period during which a member is disqualified from aviation service;
therefore, flight pay is lost during the period a member is disqualified from aviation service. |
|
Members involved in a duty-related mishap are said to have met their flight requirements for a 3-
