Aviation Resource Management Volume 3

A static line parachute system uses a line or strap that is attached from the parachute to an anchor cable inside the aircraft. This allows for the automatic deployment of the parachute as the jumper exits the aircraft. The static line ensures that the parachute is deployed at a safe distance from the aircraft, providing a controlled descent for the jumper. This system is commonly used in military operations and training exercises.

The Bronze Star device on the parachutist badge indicates a combat jump. This means that the member has successfully completed a parachute jump under hostile conditions during a combat operation. The Bronze Star device is awarded to recognize the individual's bravery and participation in a combat situation while demonstrating their proficiency in parachuting.

Jump record folder reviews are conducted face-to-face with the member. This means that the reviews are done in person, directly interacting with the member. This method allows for better communication and understanding between the reviewer and the member, as they can have a real-time conversation and address any questions or concerns. It also provides an opportunity for the reviewer to observe the member's reactions and body language, which can give valuable insights into their understanding and engagement with the review process.

Once a parachutist badge is awarded, it is permanent unless the badge is revoked. This means that once an individual has successfully completed the requirements and received the badge, it will remain valid unless it is taken away due to certain circumstances such as misconduct or failure to meet ongoing requirements. Revoking the badge indicates that the individual is no longer eligible to hold or display it, and it serves as a consequence for their actions or failure to meet the necessary standards.

Commanders at any review level may recommend a member be prohibited from wearing the parachutist badge if the member is disqualified due to substantiated drug abuse. This means that any commander, regardless of their rank or level of authority, has the power to make this recommendation based on their review of the situation. The HARM office, member's supervisor, and member's first sergeant may also be involved in the process, but the ultimate decision lies with the commanders at any review level.

The correct answer is X, K, or Q. This is because the question is asking about the DAFSC prefix for non-career aviator positions for dual-coded flying/jumping parachutists. The options given are different combinations of letters, and X, K, or Q is the correct combination.

The HARM office must conduct a cover to cover audit of the jump record folder upon PCS. This means that whenever a member of the unit undergoes a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), their jump record folder must be audited from cover to cover. This ensures that all necessary information and documentation is accurate and up to date before the member transitions to a new unit or location. Conducting this audit helps maintain the integrity and reliability of the jump record folder.

The correct answer is "part parachutist service qualification." Certifying a member's eligibility for parachutist service involves assessing their qualifications related to parachuting. This includes evaluating their skills, knowledge, and experience in order to determine if they meet the necessary requirements to participate in parachutist service.

The jumpmaster is responsible for completing and certifying all AF Form 4323, ARMS multi-crew jump records, and AF IMTs 922, Individual jump records.

The correct answer is AF Form 4323, ARMS Multi-Crew Jump Record. This form is used as the primary source document for recording jump activity performed by multiple USAF members on a single day. It is specifically designed for recording jumps performed by multiple crew members and is an official record that documents the details of the jump, including the individuals involved, the aircraft used, and any specific mission details. This form is an important tool for tracking and documenting jump activity within the USAF.

The jump record package for outprocessing a parachutist must include the AF IMT 1521, ARMS individual jump pay entitlement worksheet. This document is necessary to accurately record and calculate the jump pay entitlement for the parachutist.

Individuals assigned to dual-coded flying/jumping positions may receive flight and jump incentive pay because they are required to perform both flying and jumping duties. This means they are eligible for incentives for both types of tasks. Flight incentive pay is given to individuals who perform flying duties, while jump incentive pay is given to individuals who perform jumping duties. Since individuals in dual-coded positions perform both tasks, it is reasonable to assume that they would receive incentive pay for both.

The commander is responsible for certifying a member's eligibility for parachutist service. This means that the commander has the authority to determine whether or not a member meets the necessary requirements and qualifications to participate in parachuting activities. The commander's decision is important as it ensures that only qualified individuals are allowed to engage in potentially dangerous activities such as parachuting.

The commanders will give a minimum of 120 calendar days notification before involuntarily terminating the aviation service of members who are dual-coded flying/jumping. This means that individuals who are qualified to both fly and jump will be given a significant amount of advance notice before their aviation service is terminated against their will. This allows them to make necessary arrangements and preparations for the transition.

The individuals occupying a jump inherent or a "J" coded UMD/JMD billet are in an active jump status. This means that they are currently assigned to a specific jump unit and are ready for immediate deployment or action.

Once a member becomes HALO certified, the action that must be taken in the ARMS is to click "Yes" in the HALO Certification field in the Aircrew Management window. This indicates that the member has successfully completed the HALO certification and is authorized to perform HALO duties.

The correct answer is Jump record folder. This folder serves as a repository for all approved documents related to a member's jump career. It is specifically designed to store and organize records related to jumps, including jump logs, training certificates, and other relevant documents. This folder is essential for tracking and documenting a member's jump history and ensuring that all necessary information is readily accessible and maintained in one place.

A periodic review of the jump record folder ensures accuracy. This means that by regularly reviewing the jump record folder, any errors or discrepancies can be identified and corrected. It helps in maintaining the correctness and precision of the jump record information, ensuring that all the data and details are recorded accurately. This review process helps to minimize mistakes and ensure that the jump record folder is reliable and trustworthy for reference and analysis purposes.

A parachutist can be suspended without (MAJCOM) approval for a maximum of 180 days. This means that they can continue their activities and operations without needing any specific authorization from the MAJCOM for a period of six months. It is important to ensure that all safety protocols and regulations are followed during this time to ensure the well-being and effectiveness of the parachutist.

The jumpmaster is responsible for ensuring that the date, aircraft mission design series, drop zone, jump type and condition, parachute type, jump altitude, and remarks are all correct on the AF IMT 922, Individual Jump Record. They are trained and qualified to oversee and supervise parachute jumps, therefore it is their duty to ensure the accuracy of these details on the record.

During a jump record folder audit, it is important to ensure that all formal training certificates have been entered into ARMS. The correct window to enter this information is the Formal Training window. This window is specifically designed to record and track formal training certificates for individuals. By entering the certificates in this window, the system can accurately track and maintain a record of the formal training completed by each individual. This helps in ensuring compliance with training requirements and maintaining a comprehensive record of the training history of personnel.

AFSC stands for Air Force Specialty Code, which is a code used to identify specific job positions in the United States Air Force. In this question, the AFSC 1C2XX is considered jump inherent. This means that individuals with this AFSC are required to complete parachute training and be able to perform jumps as part of their job duties. The other AFSCs listed do not have this requirement.

The correct answer is MAJCOM/A3. MAJCOM stands for Major Command, which is a level of command in the United States Air Force. A3 is the designation for the Operations and Plans division within the MAJCOM. Therefore, the approving authority authorizing temporary jump status would be the Operations and Plans division of the Major Command.

In a 24-month period, the maximum number of days an individual can be placed in temporary jump status is 365. This means that the individual can be in temporary jump status for the entire year.

The Individual Jump Record is used to validate the number and type of jumps annotated on the AF IMT 196. It contains detailed information about the member's jumps, including the date, type of jump, equipment used, and any additional remarks. By comparing the information on the Individual Jump Record with the AF IMT 196, one can ensure that the jumps are accurately recorded and validated.

The correct answer is US Army Basic Airborne Course graduation date. This means that the AO (Assignment Option) terminates for a member who is initially placed on jump status but is not assigned to an authorized jump position after graduating from the US Army Basic Airborne Course. This indicates that the member's jump status and assignment opportunities are dependent on successfully completing the Basic Airborne Course.

The correct answer is Jump History Report (JHR). This report provides a summary of career jump totals, which makes it the appropriate report to refer to when looking for this information. The IDS and FHR reports mentioned are not specifically designed to provide a summary of career jump totals, so they would not be the correct choice in this case.

The USAFA cadet is not entitled to HDIP (High Deployment Incentive Pay) according to the remarks section of the aeronautical order. This means that they will not receive additional pay for participating in high-risk parachute jumps. The other statements about being entitled to HALO pay and occupying a J-coded unit manpower document position are unrelated to the entitlement of HDIP.

Updating jump accomplishments in the ARMS (Automated Airborne Reporting System) in a timely manner is crucial to ensure that the member's parachute duty pay is not interrupted. The ARMS keeps track of the number of jumps completed by each member, and this information is used to calculate their parachute duty pay. If the jump accomplishments are not updated promptly, there may be delays or interruptions in the payment of parachute duty pay to the member.

To apply for the award of a parachutist badge, members must complete the AF IMT 196, Data for Parachutist Rating. This form is specifically designed for recording and documenting the necessary information for evaluating and awarding the parachutist rating. The other options listed are not applicable for this purpose.

The Remarks section of the AO for a member assigned to a dual-coded flying/jumping position must include the statement "When required for the mission, aircrew duty may be performed on any USAF aircraft." This statement indicates that the member is authorized to perform aircrew duties on any aircraft in the United States Air Force when it is necessary for the mission. This is important information for the member and any personnel responsible for assigning duties and ensuring mission readiness.

A free fall parachutist must perform a free fall jump within 180 days before being considered non-current. This means that if they go longer than 180 days without performing a jump, their skills and abilities may have deteriorated, making it unsafe for them to continue jumping without undergoing additional training and practice.

The alpha character "H" in the Pay reason field of the incentive Pay window in ARMS stands for hazardous duty incentive pay. This means that the parachutist is eligible to receive additional pay due to the hazardous nature of their duty.

The correct answer is "prior to attending the military free fall course." This means that the member must be officially assigned to a HALO-coded position before they can perform a high altitude low opening (HALO) jump. This ensures that they have the necessary training and qualifications before engaging in such a specialized and potentially dangerous activity. After being assigned to the HALO-coded position, they can then attend the military free fall course to further enhance their skills and knowledge in preparation for the HALO jump.

Parachutists may be double billeted for up to 90 days under certain circumstances. This means that they may be assigned to share accommodations with another parachutist for a maximum period of 90 days. This arrangement is likely made in situations where there is limited space or resources available for individual accommodations, and it allows for efficient use of available resources.

In order to maintain currency, a member must perform a static line jump within 180 days. This means that they must complete a static line jump at least once every six months to stay current.

ASC 9D identifies a qualified non-career aviator assigned to a dual-coded (flying/jump position) authorized to perform aircrew parachutist duties.

The effective date used to assign Aviation Service Code 06, Jump Requirement Terminated, when a member fails to complete the US Army Basic Airborne Course is the day after disenrollment. This means that if a member is disenrolled from the course, their jump requirement will be terminated starting from the day after their disenrollment.

The Rule 3 request letter would be filed in the Military pay orders section of the jump record folder. This suggests that the letter is related to military pay orders and should be stored accordingly for easy retrieval and organization.

The unit commander is responsible for certifying a member's qualification for jumpmaster duties. This means that the unit commander has the authority to determine whether or not a member is qualified to perform the duties of a jumpmaster. They have the knowledge and experience necessary to assess the member's skills and abilities in this role. The unit commander is in a position of leadership and has the final say in certifying a member for jumpmaster duties.

Individuals assigned to AFSC 1W0X2, Special Operations Weather, have a core competency in performing parachute duties. This means that they are trained and skilled in tasks related to parachuting, such as conducting parachute jumps, ensuring the proper functioning and maintenance of parachutes, and providing support during airborne operations. Parachute duties are an essential part of their role and are necessary for their successful performance in Special Operations Weather missions.

Enlisted parachutists have termination dates for their AOs (Airborne Operations) based on the earliest of the following dates: date of separation, jump tour completion date, and date of the expected return from overseas. The exception to this is the change to active status date, which does not determine the termination date for AOs.

The jump activity update summary provides an audit trail of individual jump activity. This report summarizes the updates made to jump activities, including details such as the date and time of the jump, the jumper's name, and any changes or updates made to the jump. This report is useful for tracking and reviewing individual jump activity and ensuring accuracy and accountability in jump records.

When a member enters a formal school where flight duties are part of the curriculum, their ASC (Aircrew Safety Code) needs to be changed from 9E to 9D. This is because they are transitioning from being an active parachutist to an active non-rated/non-career enlisted aviator aircrew member. The change is effective from the date the member starts performing in-flight duties aboard USAF aircraft.

When a parachutist is no longer assigned to an authorized jump position, their ASC (Aeronautical Specialty Code) will change from 9E to 06.

The correct answer is "satisfy requirements in AFI 11-402, Aviation and Parachutist Service Aeronautical Ratings and Badges." This means that in order to be awarded the basic and advanced parachutist badges, members must meet the requirements outlined in AFI 11-402, which pertains to aviation and parachutist service aeronautical ratings and badges. This ensures that individuals have completed the necessary training and met the standards set by the Air Force for parachute operations.

The remark in the AO must state that the member is prohibited from wearing the parachutist badge. This means that the member is not allowed to wear the badge anymore. The remark should clearly communicate the prohibition of wearing the badge without revoking it or stating the reason for the prohibition or the authority behind it.

The 120-day advance notification policy applies to flight pay only. This means that individuals receiving flight pay must be notified at least 120 days in advance before any changes or modifications are made to their flight pay. This policy does not apply to basic pay or parachutist pay, as these are not mentioned in the answer. Therefore, the correct answer is flight pay only.

Disenrollment from the military free fall course is not a cause for permanent disqualification because it specifically refers to being removed or withdrawn from the course, rather than being permanently disqualified from performing jump duties. While failure to satisfactorily perform a jump duty, no longer desiring to perform required jump duties, and voluntarily requesting termination of parachutist service can all lead to permanent disqualification, being disenrolled from the military free fall course does not automatically result in permanent disqualification.
