Are in an aviation incentive pay status; and
d.
Meet the requirements of paragraph 9 below.
9.
Requirements applicable to both ACIP and HDIP. Except as noted, the
following applies to monthly ACIP and HDIP, but not to continuous ACIP.
a.
Flight requirements. Unless otherwise noted, the below paragraphs
apply to all officers entitled to monthly ACIP (not entitled to
continuous ACIP) and all other members issued competent flight
orders.
(1)
Minimum flight time each month.
(a)
During one calendar month: four hours of aerial flight.
However, if a member entitled to monthly ACIP or a member
on continuous crewmember flight orders does not fly four
hours in any month, excess flight hours from the previous
five months may be applied to meet this four hour
requirement.
(b)
During two consecutive calendar months when the
requirements of paragraph 9.a.(1)(a) above have not been
met (the first month that flight time requirements have not
been met and the following month): eight hours of aerial
flight (does not apply to members issued periodic flight
orders).
(c)
During three consecutive calendar months when the
requirements of paragraph 9.a.(1)(b) above have not
been met (the first month that flight time requirements
have not been met and the following two months): 12
hours of aerial flight (does not apply to members issued
periodic flight orders).
(d)
Individual flight hours not used to qualify for HDIP
or monthly ACIP for the month in which flown (excess
flight hours) are available (may be "banked") for use
in the next five months to make up flight deficiencies
(see paragraph 9.a.(4) below). This does not apply to
members issued periodic flight orders.
(2)
Fractions of a calendar month. For fractions of a
calendar month, figure the percentage that the period in
question is of the calendar month. The flight time required
is that same percentage of four hours (see enclosure (5)).
For separate periodic flight orders that result in two
separate fractions of the same calendar month, treat each
fraction as separate fractions of a month with separate flight
time requirements. In this case, only one of the two fractions
of the month may be used to qualify for HDIP or monthly ACIP;
only one month's aviation incentive pay may be paid for all
flying duty in any month.
(3)
Fractions of two consecutive calendar months. For
fractions of two consecutive calendar months, treat each
fraction as separate fractions of a month with separate
flight time requirements. See paragraph 9.a.(2) above for
the flight time requirements of each fraction of the two
consecutive calendar months. This situation should normally
occur only with TAD flight orders, in which case flight time
"grace" period and "banking" rules would not apply.
