scope:

This Air Force Instruction (AFI) provides policy for operating the E-9A aircraft. Use it in conjunction with the aircraft flight manuals, FLIP, and AFI11-202V3, General Flight Rules , as supplemented, and other governing directives. This volume prescribes procedures for E-9A aircraft under most circumstances but is not to be used as a substitute for sound judgment or common sense. Operations and/or procedures not specifically addressed may be accomplished if they enhance safe and effective mission accomplishment. When guidance in this AFI conflicts with another basic/source document, that document takes precedence. For matters where this AFI is the source document, waiver authority is In Accordance With (IAW) paragraph 1.4.

Unit commanders and agency directors involved with or supporting E-9A operations shall make current copies of this AFI available to appropriate personnel.
