Front 3

Front 6

What is the flying incentive pay for a CEA who failed to meet the minimum gate requirements?

Back 6

Conditional CEFIP.

Front 7

What is HDIP?

Back 7

HDIP is a special pay given to non-career aviators, operational support members, and parachutists, as an
incentive for performing certain hazardous duties.

Front 8

What must non-career aviators and operational support members do in order to receive HDIP?

Back 8

They must fly the required number of hours, monthly, in order to receive HDIP.

Front 9

Briefly explain how to use the calendar month table.

Back 9

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.

Front 10

Which form is used to assist in tracking a member’s flight time for conditional pay purposes?

Back 10

The AF IMT 1520, ARMS Individual Flight Pay Entitlement Worksheet.

Front 11

Explain how a member gets excess flight time.

Back 11

Excess flight time occurs when a member flies and exceeds the minimum flight time requirement for the
month.

Front 12

What is a grace period?

Back 12

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.

Front 13

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?

Back 13

In March

Front 14

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?

Back 14

For all three months.

Front 15

List the order you would apply flying hours for incentive pay purposes.

Back 15

(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.

Front 16

For how long may a member in a continuous incentive pay status continue to receive incentive pay when grounded?

Back 16

From the date of incapacitation through the day prior to the date of disqualification.

Front 17

When a member is suspended, what effective date would you use to terminate the member’s
incentive pay?

Back 17

One calendar day prior to the effective date of the suspension until the member’s status is resolved.

Front 18

What happens to a member’s incentive pay when the member becomes disqualified from aviation service?

Back 18

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.

Front 19

Members involved in a duty-related mishap are said to have met their flight requirements for a 3-
month period under the “aviation accident” provision of AFI 11–421. When does the 3-month
period begin if the member was injured in February and has already met the flight requirements for that month before the injury occurred?

Back 19

March.

Front 20

When does the 3-month period begin if the member was injured in April and the member has not met the flight requirements for the month in which the injury has occurred?

Back 35

Rule 4 states that a commander may waive the jump requirements when a member is unable to jump by
reason of being engaged in combat operations in a hostile fire area. For every month a member is in Rule 4,
he or she is entitled to HDIP at the highest rate the member is qualified to receive during the same period.
