flight time. Example 2: January is the first
month of a "grace" period. A member performs one hour of

Injury or incapacity as a result of an aviation mishap or
performance of other hazardous duty to which ordered. When
a member in a flying status and under competent flight orders,
other than an officer entitled to ACIP, is injured or otherwise
incapacitated as a result of an aviation mishap or performance of
other hazardous duty to which ordered, the member is considered
to have met the flight requirements for the duration of the
incapacity or for three months ("free" period), whichever is
the shorter period of time. If the member is an officer entitled
to monthly ACIP, the "free" period extends for a maximum of 180
days from the date of incapacitation. If the member is an
officer entitled to continuous ACIP, the officer is entitled to
ACIP through the day before the date of disqualification from
aviation service. Incapacitation includes incapacitation due to
