MEDICAL CURRENCY. The medical screening will be valid for 24 months for
members 40 and older, and 36 months for members under 40. Members must have a valid
medical screening on file to maintain their air crew certification.
d.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.
(1) Initial Certification. A member who has been approved to enter the Auxiliary air
crew syllabus and who passes the required medical screening may begin training
toward air crew certification. The trainee must first be certified as an Auxiliary air
observer. Specific observer training requirements are listed in chapter 8 of reference
(b). Once the member is certified as an Auxiliary observer, he or she may proceed to
Aircrew training which consists of satisfactory completion of the open book pilot
exam and a minimum of five hours of air crew flight training. Specific training
requirements can be found in the training syllabus, enclosure (1).
(2) FAA Airman Certificates. An Auxiliary member possessing a valid FAA airman
certificate (Private Pilot or higher) and medical exam will be considered to have
completed the air crew training syllabus. However, to be certified as Auxiliary air
crew the member must complete observer training as outlined in chapter 8 of
reference (b). The observer training will orient the non-facility-owning pilot to Coast
Guard missions, including search and rescue and marine environmental protection.
(3) Auxiliarists Augmenting Coast Guard Aircrew. The requirements of the Auxiliary air
crew certification program are satisfied by completion of all Coast Guard active duty
air station air crew training programs. Therefore, an Auxiliarist who completes a
course of training allowing him or her to augment an active duty Coast Guard aircrew
will be designated as Auxiliary air crew. Auxiliarists will need to meet air station
standards to include a military flight physical, survival swim/wet drill, and pressure
chamber training. See reference (a), Chapter 1, paragraph N. 4., for specific
information. (4) AUXMIS Entry. An AUXMIS entry code of "AW" will be used
under the Air category in AUXMIS for Auxiliarists qualified as air crew. CG Form
2736B (ANSC Form 7005), the Facility and Pilot Inspection Sheet, will be modified
to show this entry. e. MAINTAINING AIR CREW CERTIFICATION. Once
qualified as Auxiliary air crew, the member must meet the same currency
requirements as listed in reference (a) for "All Air Crewmembers." In addition,
members designated Auxiliary air crew must attend Auxiliary aviation seminars as
required and maintain their medical currency as stated in paragraph 5.c. Auxiliary air
crew used to augment active duty Coast Guard aircrews must attend any training
required by the air station.
