scope:

AFMC produces a three-volume set of Flight Test (FT) instructions containing attachments for each SUAS Group flown in AFMC. These instructions are numbered AFI 11-5FT Volume 1, 2, and 3, and contain the training, evaluation criteria, and operations procedures, respectively, for each SUAS Group. AFMC uses these instructions in lieu of AFI 11-5 GP-specific Volumes for Research Developmental Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) flying operations. In the absence of published guidance, AFMC units will coordinate through AFRL/DO to HQ AFMC/A3V for approval of locally developed guidelines. If possible, these guidelines will be consistent with similar guidance specified in the appropriate AFI 11-5 GP-specific lead MAJCOM Volumes.

All evaluations will be conducted IAW the provisions of AFI 11-502, Volume 2, AFMC and unit supplements, and this instruction. Information gathering documents will be established as forms in accordance with AFI 33-360, Publications and Forms Management.
