AIF - Standardized CAP Aircraft Information File

(Last Updated on 4 Aug 09) (Updated for Layout, Content, Deletes Discrepancy Log, Changes Tactical Risk Management to Operational Risk Management)

 


The National Executive Committee directed that all wings standardize their Aircraft Information Files (AIF) as outlined below.  No local changes or substitutions to the forms or format are authorized.

Aircraft Information Files are required to be utilized on all CAP aircraft as specified in CAPR 60-1, para 2-4e. During large-scale operations such as the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief mission, and other similar missions it was discovered that the variety and format of each wing and region AIF was so dissimilar and varied that flight crews assigned to fly aircraft from wings and regions other than their home unit encountered difficulty in determining airworthiness and maintenance information. Additionally the aircraft flight log formats and other documentation such as equipment lists were unfamiliar to many of the flight crews.  This will resolve these problems.

Read the AIF LAYOUT INSTRUCTIONS  Updated  before proceeding.

All the documents can be downloaded in four .zip files
