of other hazardous duty to which ordered is ordered to
a medical facility on PCS, TAD, or TD orders, and the
orders are executed:
(a)
during the "free" period, then the member

e.
Incapacitation not the result of an aviation mishap or
performance of other hazardous duty to which ordered. When
a member in a flying status and under current flight orders,
other than an officer entitled to continuous ACIP, is injured or
otherwise incapacitated not as a result of an aviation mishap or
performance of other hazardous duty to which ordered, the member
is not entitled to "free" period HDIP or monthly ACIP. The
minimum flight requirements under paragraphs 9.a, 9.b, and 9.c
above apply. 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 shock, derangement, or exhaustion
of the nervous system. Appropriate medical authority determines
the date and cause of the injury or incapacity and the date of
recovery.
f.
Effect of suspension of flying status on HDIP and ACIP. A
member is removed from a flying status on the effective date of
the suspension. For officers entitled to ACIP, a suspension of
flying status also constitutes a suspension of aviation service.
When a suspension is terminated, it must result in the member
either being returned to a flying status or being disqualified
for further flying duty. For officers entitled to ACIP, a
disqualification for further flying duty constitutes a
disqualification for aviation service.

status. The member is considered returned to a flying
status on the date that the suspension was effected. There
is no break in the member's flying status (or aviation service
for aviators and flight surgeons).
(a)
Suspension due to incapacitation as the result of
an aviation mishap or performance of other hazardous duty
to which ordered. See paragraph 9.d above for effect
on HDIP and ACIP.
(b)
Suspension due to other reasons. If the member
meets the minimum flight requirements as described by
paragraphs 9.a, 9.b, 9.c, and 9.e above for the periods
covered by the suspension, the member is entitled to
HDIP or monthly ACIP for those periods. If the member
is entitled to monthly ACIP or is in a CAIP status,
excess flight time may be carried into a period of
suspension and a "grace" period may commence during the
period of suspension. However, payment of HDIP or
ACIP for a period of suspension cannot be made until the
suspension has been removed and the member is returned
to a flying status. If a member does not meet the
minimum flight time requirements for HDIP or monthly ACIP
