Encl. (1) to COMDTINST 7220.39
Guard flight surgeon designations and PCS flight orders are issued by
Commander, Coast Guard Military Personnel Command (opm). See
Enclosure
(2) for an example of a flight surgeon designation. On occasion, a
flight surgeon billet may be temporarily vacant, requiring the
temporary assignment of a qualified flight surgeon to an air station.
In this situation, TAD orders for Coast Guard flight surgeons who are
Not assigned PCS to a flight surgeon billet shall specify that the TAD
assignment involves flying duty as a flight surgeon. See enclosure
(2) for examples of flight surgeon TAD flight orders.
c.
Terminating flight orders. Flight orders may be terminated only by
the order issuing activity. When flight orders are included in the
member's PCS orders, the flight orders are terminated by execution of
new PCS orders in accordance with reference (a). When flight orders
are included in the member's TAD orders, the flight orders are
automatically terminated when the TAD orders terminate. TAD flight
orders may be terminated earlier than the TAD orders termination date
by modification of the TAD orders by the order issuing activity.
3.
Suspending the flying status of Coast Guard aviators and Coast Guard
flight surgeons. A suspension of an officer's flying status results in a
suspension of the officer's aviation service for the same period. A
suspension of an officer's flying status must be resolved by either
returning the officer to a flying status or disqualifying the officer for
aviation service, both of which are effective on the effective date of the
suspension. If the member is returned to a flying status after being
suspended, there is no break in the member's flying status. The
suspension and removal of suspension must be issued in writing. The
officer may be notified verbally if a suitable memorandum for the record
is made and is later followed by written notification. See enclosure (2)
for examples of suspension notifications. See paragraph 9.f below for the
effect of a suspension on ACIP. The authority to suspend the flying
status of Coast Guard aviators and Coast Guard flight surgeons and to
remove these suspensions may not be delegated.
a.

aviators. The commanding officer of an aviator's aviation unit, or

(1)
The aviator has been referred to a Coast Guard Aviator Evaluation
Board in accordance with article 6-A-1 of reference (a); or
(2)
