a.
Unit administration of HDIP and monthly ACIP. All units
assigned members under flight orders shall assign a member
in pay grade E-6 or above the collateral duty of Aviation
Incentive Pay Administrator. The unit's Aviation Incentive
Pay Administrator shall carry out the command's HDIP and
monthly ACIP administration responsibilities described below
in this paragraph and in enclosure (2).
b.
Personal logs of individual flight time. All members on

not be recorded in the personal log. Flight log book requirements
for aviators are prescribed by Chapter 7 of reference (c).
Members under flight orders, other than aviators, shall maintain
in their personal log a record of all individual flight time,
including the date, the tail number of the aircraft, the times
the flight started and ended, and the number of hours flown to
the nearest tenth hour. If possible, personal log entries
should include the names of other Coast Guard members under
flight orders participating in each flight. Personal log
records maintained on computer systems should always be backed
up with hard copy printouts.
c.
Officers entitled to continuous ACIP.
(1)
The officer's command is responsible for informing the
officer and the appropriate Personnel Reporting Unit
(PERSRU) of all changes in the officer's flying status,
aviation service, flight orders, or designation that affect
the officer's entitlement to continuous ACIP. See enclosure
(2) for examples.
(2)
The Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center (PPC) is responsible
for tracking and advising these officers through their
monthly Leave and Earnings Statements (LES's) of the
following information:
(a)
The continuous ACIP gate table under which the
officer's operational flying requirements are
determined (Transitional or Standard).
(b)
The officer's total operational flying time to date.
(c)
The date of the officer's next continuous ACIP gate.
(d)
The amount of additional operational flying time the
officer requires (if any) to meet the next gate's
minimum requirements to continue receiving continuous
ACIP.
(e)
The date that the officer's continuous ACIP
entitlement ends if the officer meets the next
gate's minimum operational flying requirements and
if the officer fails to meet those requirements.
(3)
The above assistance rendered by the Coast Guard does not
relieve the officer from the officer's responsibility to
maintain personal records of the officer's aviation service
and operational flying time.
