flying may be paid must be interdependent and performed by
the member either simultaneously or in rapid succession
while carrying out the duties required to accomplish the
mission of the unit involved. Members must meet the
minimum requirements for both ACIP or HDIP for flying duty
and the HDIP for hazardous duty other than flying, except
when injury or incapacity due to an aviation mishap or
performance of other hazardous duty to which assigned is
involved.
(2)
Types of duties that do not qualify members for HDIP or
ACIP and HDIP for other hazardous duties. The following
are examples of types of duties not performed interdependently
(a)
Members entitled to ACIP are not entitled to HDIP for
flying either as crew members or as noncrew members; and
(b)
Members who perform duty in a pressure chamber who are
also required to meet minimum flight requirements for
HDIP or monthly ACIP are only entitled to one of these
types of HDIP.
(3)
Injury or incapacity as a result of performance of
hazardous duty-dual duties. If a member entitled to
receive ACIP or HDIP and one other type of HDIP is injured
or incapacitated as a result of either of the assigned
hazardous duties, the member is entitled to ACIP or HDIP for
flying duty and the other type of HDIP as described in
paragraph 9.d above. If the member was only entitled to
either HDIP for flying duty or one other type of HDIP (one
or the other), the member is only entitled to receive the
HDIP for flying duty or the other type of HDIP being
received at the time of the injury or incapacity. Similarly,
if the member was only entitled to either ACIP or one other
type of HDIP (one or the other), the member is only entitled
to receive the ACIP or the other type of HDIP being received
at the time of the injury or incapacity. The beginning
date of the medical "free" period must be determined
separately for each type of incentive pay.
j.
ACIP or HDIP for flying duty and special pay for diving duty.
A member may not receive ACIP or HDIP for flying duty and special
pay for diving duty for the same period.
10.
Recoupments of overpayments. An overpaid situation will
automatically occur when a member in a CAIP status or a member
entitled to monthly ACIP fails to meet the minimum flight time
requirements in paragraph 9.c for a "grace" period or in paragraph
9.a. (5) for a six-calendar-month period. Other overpayments may
occur due to delays in processing documents concerning actions
that reduce the rate of a member's pay (e.g., change in flight
orders from crew member to noncrew member, reduction in pay grade,
etc.). Policies and procedures for in-service debt collection are
prescribed in references (b) and (d) respectively.
11.
Tracking and reporting individual HDIP and monthly ACIP relevant
data and actions. All unit records of individual HDIP and
monthly ACIP entitlement actions shall be retained at the unit for
three years.
