scope:

Purpose of This Order.

This order establishes policy for integrated designee management across the Office of Aerospace Medicine (AAM), Aircraft Certification Service (AIR), Flight Standards Service (FS), and Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service (AOV), as well as the use of the Designee Management System (DMS), which is a web-based tool designed to standardize the management of designees.

a. This order consolidates orders across Aviation Safety (AVS) services and offices (S/O) and establishes a common policy section for all designees and provides respective volumes for the specific designee types. These policy changes are global in nature and, therefore, are not listed individually.

b. All users of this order must familiarize themselves with its contents and comply with the instructions and guidance contained herein. Many of the procedural functions are not included in the order since they are now incorporated into the functionality of DMS.
