On behalf f the DCS, G 1, the Cmmanding General (CG), U.S. Army Human Resurces Cmmand (CG, HRC) will administer the Nnrated Flying Status Prgram fr the Regular Army Cmpnent. b. The Chief, Natinal Guard Bureau (CNGB) will (1) Administer the Nnrated Flying Status Prgram fr the Army Natinal Guard (ARNG) persnnel and nnrated Army Natinal Guard f the United States (ARNGUS) persnnel.

6 Chapter 2 Flying Status fr Nnrated Persnnel 2 1. Flying time and entitlement fr hazardus duty incentive pay a. A Sldier wh is in n active duty (AD) status is required t fly a minimum f 4 hurs each mnth, except as therwise stated in Department f Defense Financial Management Regulatin (DODFMR) R, vl. 7A, and entitled t hazardus duty incentive pay (HDIP) fr flying duty. Flying time t qualify fr entitlement t HDIP fr flying duty must be a prduct f the perfrmance f duties which requires the Sldier t be placed n flying status rders. Prcedures fr lgging f flight time are utlined in AR A Sldier will nt be placed n flying status fr the fllwing reasns: (1) Participating in aerial flights as a means f transprtatin. (2) Perfrming duties n the grund at destinatin r pints en rute. (3) Flying in an aircraft ther than the ne indicated n flight rders (fr example, utility helicpter (UH) 60 crew chief lgging flight time in a carg helicpter (CH) 47 r weapns system repairer lgging flight time in a UH 72 which has n weapns system). Fr exceptins, see paragraph 2 3 f this regulatin. b. Minimum flight requirements fr a Reserve Cmpnent (RC) Sldier nt n AD are ne-half f thse prescribed fr a Sldier n AD; that is 2 hurs per mnth when the calendar mnth is the unit perid. If a fractin f a calendar mnth is the unit perid, flying time required fr such perids will be as shwn in appendix B-1. (1) A Sldier wh has perfrmed less than the ttal number f regularly scheduled drills r unit training assemblies during a mnth, r a fractinal part f a mnth, must meet the minimum flight requirements fr the mnth r fractin theref, in rder t be entitled t any HDIP fr flying duty fr the drills r unit training assemblies actually perfrmed. (2) When scheduled inactive duty training (IADT) was nt attended and perfrmed in a subsequent mnth, HDIP fr flying duty fr such perids is payable, prvided the Sldier met minimum flight requirements fr each perid invlved. c. An RC Sldier n flying status wh perfrms AD peratinal supprt, full-time training duty, r annual training duty and attendance while in active service at a schl designated as a service schl, must fly additinal time prprtinate t the amunt f AD days t be eligible fr HDIP fr flying duty during thse AD days. (1) Flying time accumulated during perids f AD r AD fr training may nt be used t satisfy inactive duty flight requirements in ther mnths unless the member was n cntinuus AD fr a perid f 30 days r mre. (2) Flying time accumulated during perids f IADT that is in excess f inactive duty flight requirements may be applied t AD r AD fr training flight requirements. Hwever, requirements fr the IADT prtin f the mnth must be satisfied befre flying time can be applied t the AD r AD fr training prtin. (3) Flying time accumulated during perids f AD fr training may nt be used t satisfy inactive duty flight requirements. Fr example, if a Sldier perfrms 15 days AD and is in an IADT status 15 days in the same calendar mnth, the Sldier must perfrm 3 hurs f flying t qualify fr incentive pay fr that mnth; 2 hurs fr the AD (15/30ths f 4 hurs) and 1 hur (15/30ths f 2hurs) fr the IADT. Excess flying hurs accumulated during IADT may be used t meet the requirements fr this entire perid, if available. d. Flying time t qualify fr entitlement t HDIP fr flying duty must be in a military status and be a prduct f the perfrmance f duties that requires the Sldier t be placed n flying status rders. e. Aviatin unit cmmanders may, as an exceptin t paragraph 2 1a(1), authrize lgging f flight time fr pay fr nncrewmember maintenance persnnel n maintenance recvery and unit deplyment flights utilizing assigned unit aircraft. f. Aviatin unit cmmanders may, as an exceptin t paragraph 2 1a(3) f this regulatin, authrize lgging flight time in an aircraft ther than indicated n flight rders when required t accmplish unit missin Authrity t issue rders a.

When ntice f impending remval frm flying status cannt be accmplished by rders, a cmpetent authrity, n lwer than the Sldier s unit cmmander, may give the Sldier a written r verbal ntice.
