service. (T-3). This policy lessens the impact of financial loss due to short notice PCS, receipt of
non-volunteer assignment, base closure, unit deactivation, and double billeting due to PCS when
there are no vacant billets. A member is not considered to be involuntarily removed from flying
duty upon separation, confinement, relief for cause, reduction in grade, medical unfitness, medical
disqualification, absence without leave, transfer to ground duty at own request, or other reasons
determined by the unit commander to be within the member’s control. Note: The 120-day advance
notification policy does not apply to entitlement to parachutist hazardous duty incentive pay or for
non-career enlisted aviator enlisted aircrew members not receiving hazardous duty incentive pay.
7.6.1. IAW DoD 7000.14-R Volume 7A, non-career enlisted aviator enlisted aircrew members
involuntarily removed from in-flight duties are entitled to hazardous duty incentive pay until
the termination date of the current aeronautical order or for 120 calendar days from the official
notification of removal, whichever occurs first. The following dates constitute the start of the
120-day period:
7.6.2. The date the commander verbally advises the non-career enlisted aviator enlisted
aircrew member that their aviation service will terminate. (T-1). The commander will request,
in writing, the servicing Host Aviation Resource Management office to publish the Aviation
Resource Management System 120-day notification report. (T-3). The commander will
document the date and time of the notification, in writing, on the 120-day notification report
and obtain the member’s signature. (T-3). The servicing Host Aviation Resource Management
office will provide a copy of this notification to the member and file a copy in the flight record
folder. (T-3).
7.6.3. A non-career enlisted aviator enlisted aircrew member may waive the 120-day
notification requirement. A voluntary request for assignment to duty or an educational training
program not requiring aviation service constitutes automatic waiver of the notification
requirement.
7.6.4. The 120-day notification policy requires close management of the non-career enlisted
aviator enlisted aircrew member flying force to ensure projected changes are known as far in
advance as possible.
7.7. Termination of Aviation and/or Parachutist Service. Since termination of aviation service
results in loss of incentive pay, provide as much notice as possible. (T-1). The commander,
servicing Host Aviation Resource Management office, and Force Support Squadron works
together to notify aircrew members of assignment action that would require termination of aviation
or parachutist service. Note: Aviation and parachutist service ends when a member’s aeronautical
order is no longer valid (expired) or when a member is suspended, disqualified, separated, or
retired. Category E reservists perform duties for points only, not pay. Even when on military
personnel appropriation orders, these members remain in Category E status. Since Category E
members are not entitled to basic pay, they are not entitled to incentive pay per DoD 7000.14-R
Volume 7A. For enlisted members only, the servicing Host Aviation Resource Management office
will publish an aeronautical order to assign flying status code “J” effective the date of assignment
or the 120th calendar day following date the member was notified, whichever is later. (T-1).
7.8. Permanent Disqualification Actions. Commanders permanently disqualify parachutist,
non-rated officers, and non-career enlisted aviator enlisted aircrew members in the same manner
as rated officers and career enlisted aviators IAW Chapter 6. (T-1). Note: See AFI 11-401 and
AFI 11-410 for guidance on permanent disqualification requirements regarding parachutist.
