Aerobatic flight maneuvers
(CNAF)
An intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in aircraft attitude, intentionally performed spins, or other maneuvers requiring pitch/dive angles greater than 45°, bank angles greater than 60°, or accelerations greater than 2 gs. A maneuver that conforms to the model NATOPS manual (e.g., break, weapons delivery, autorotations, etc.) are not considered to be aerobatic flight.

Nonessential Flights
(CNAF)
The use of aircraft for nonessential flights shall not be authorized. Any flight open to misinterpretation by the public shall be avoided. Examples of flights that are considered nonessential are as follows:
- Flights of a routine business nature for which commercial or other military transportation could be more
economically substituted - Flights for any officer or group of officers, the sole purpose of which is the convenience and/or prestige of
the officers concerned and not the performance of official duties or accomplishment of bona fide training - Repeated flights to the hometown area of flight personnel concerned
- Flights coinciding with major sports events or civic celebrations.

- Have completed the requirements for and possess to an advanced degree the knowledge, proficiency, and
capabilities of a second pilot. - Have a minimum of 500 total flight hours.
- Have 150 flight hours in rotary-wing aircraft.
4. Have pilot hours in class and model required by the commanding officer or higher authority and demonstrate the proficiency and judgment required to ensure the successful accomplishment of all tasks of the unit mission.
- Demonstrate ability to command and train the officers and enlisted members of the flightcrew.
- Demonstrate the qualities of leadership required to conduct advanced base or detached unit operations as officer in charge when such duty is required as part of the units mission or method of operation.
Passenger overwater flights at night
(CNAF)
Ship launches and recoveries shall be made during daylight hours. This constraint may be waived by the Strike Group Commander, Amphibious Squadron commander, Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commander or Officer in Tactical Command (OTC) in cases of operational necessity.
In cases of Medical Evacuations (MEDEVAC), a qualified medical attendant who is current in approved water survival training (non-aircrew underwater emergency egress as a minimum training requirement), and has been properly briefed on emergency egress procedures for that aircraft, may be transferred at night with approval from the ship’s Commanding Officer.
This does not preclude troop movement in support of amphibious exercises, visit board search and seizure (VBSS) level III operations, or SPECOPS training and operational missions.
OTC Embarked
(CNAF)
Wing, group, or squadron commander, if embarked on a mission involving aircraft of their command, retains full authority and responsibility regarding command, including the mission in which participating.

When such an embarked passenger exercises authority to command the aircraft, that passenger thereby assumes full responsibility for the safe and orderly conduct of the flight.
The embarked passenger shall give due consideration to the judgment of the pilot in command regarding items of flight safety such as hazardous weather and aircraft/crew limitations.
Flying rule violations, accident reports, and any other actions arising out of the flight will be referred to the embarked passenger as the responsible commander of the aircraft.
Readiness Condition 1
