scope:

This Air Force Instruction (AFI) provides policy for operating the KC-135 aircraft. It is an original source document for many areas but, for efficacy, restates information found in aircraft flight manuals, flight information publications (FLIP), and other Air Force directives. 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 IAW paragraph 1.4. For matters where this AFI repeats information in another document, follow waiver authority outlined in the basic/source document.

Unit commanders and agency directors involved with or supporting KC-135 operations shall make current copies of this AFI available to appropriate personnel. Transportation and Base Operations passenger manifesting agencies will maintain a current copy of this AFI.
