Chapter 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Aircrew Responsibility. This manual prescribes procedures applicable to the operation of
E-11A aircraft under most circumstances. It is not a substitute for sound judgment. Procedures
not specifically addressed may be accomplished if they enhance safety and affect mission
accomplishment.
1.2. Deviations. Deviations from these procedures require specific approval of the MAJCOM/A3
unless an urgent requirement or an aircraft emergency dictates otherwise. In that case, the Pilot in
Command (PIC) will take appropriate action to meet the requirement or safely recover the aircraft.
1.3. Key Definitions:
1.3.1. “Will” and “shall,” indicate a mandatory requirement.
1.3.2. “Should,” indicates a preferred, but not mandatory, method of accomplishment.
1.3.3. “May” indicates an acceptable or suggested means of accomplishment.
1.3.4. “Note,” indicates operating procedures, techniques, etc. which are considered essential
to emphasize.
1.4. Waivers. Forward waiver requests through appropriate channels to the MAJCOM/A3 for
approval. All approvals will include an expiration date. ACC Stan/Eval (ACC/A3TV) and
ACC/A3CA are Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR) on all waiver requests to this manual
1.5. Aircraft Assignment. The E-11A is to be considered a Battle Management Support aircraft.
1.6. Commercial Publications. Operators use the Bombardier Aircraft Flight Publications
(AFP), consisting of the aircraft flight manual (AFM), flight crew operating manual (FCOM),
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH), Global Operational Manuals, and Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Global Express Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) as the primary
source of operational guidance for the E-11A aircraft except as provided for in this or other
AFIs/manuals. In addition, pilots will refer to the Bombardier Global Express Configuration
Deviation List (CDL), the FAA Global Express MMEL and the restriction/special instructions
(RSI) to determine if the aircraft is able to execute the mission. The CDL will be referenced for
any airframe deviations. MAJCOMs may authorize the use of electronic flight bags.
1.7. Distribution. Issue this manual to E-11A aircrew members in accordance with local
procedures.
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 7

Chapter 2

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1. Roles and Responsibilities. The responsibility of mission planning and execution rests with
the Aircraft Commander (AC). Preparation for the mission tasking and subsequent execution
support is the coordinated responsibility of liaison officers and the BACN Mission Coordinator
(BMC). Operations functions of the unit support both efforts.
2.2. Pilot in Command (PIC). Squadron Commander (SQ/CC) will designate an Aircraft
Commander (AC), Instructor Pilot (IP), or Evaluator Pilot (EP) as the PIC for all flights on a flight
authorization form in accordance with AFI 11-401, Aviation Management and applicable
MAJCOM supplements. (T-3). PICs are:
2.2.1. In command of all persons aboard the aircraft.
2.2.2. Vested with authority to accomplish the assigned mission. The PIC will only fly events
authorized in the mission tasking unless, in the PIC’s judgement, an emergency condition
demands otherwise.
2.2.3. The final mission execution authority.
2.2.4. The final authority for requesting or accepting aircrew or mission waivers.
2.2.5. Responsible for passing mission progress reports to Command and Control (C2)
agencies. (T-3).
2.2.6. Responsible for interaction between aircrew members and mission support personnel.
(T-3).
2.2.7. Responsible for the welfare of all persons on the aircraft or providing ground support.
(T-3).
2.3. Mission Clearance Decision. The tasking authority and PIC will make the mission clearance
decision. In all cases, final responsibility for the safe conduct of the mission rests with the PIC.
If a PIC elects to delay a mission, that mission will not depart until the conditions that generated
the decision to delay improve, are resolved, or the mission priority changes. Furthermore, no
tasking authority may task another PIC to take the same mission under the same conditions.
2.4. Mission Planning Requirements. Briefings and Debriefings. The AC and Copilot (CP) will
brief/debrief with the BMC to ensure safe, effective mission accomplishment. (T-2). Locally
developed briefing guides will be used for mission planning and briefing. (T-3). Items understood
by all participants may be briefed as “standard.” All required members will attend the briefings
unless excused by the AC/BMC. (T-3).
2.4.1. Aircraft and Aircrew status. Aircrew status is to be obtained on the day of the flight
from ARMS personnel. Aircraft status is to be obtained prior to the crew stepping to the
aircraft, to include open discrepancies detailed in the E-11A maintenance binders.
2.4.1.1. Aircraft maintenance documentation provided to the flight crew by the
maintenance contractor is maintained in accordance with FAA standards and differs from
AFTO Form 781s, ARMS Aircrew/Mission Flight Data Document. The contractor’s
quality assurance representative may only authorize dispatch release.
8 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

2.4.1.2. If dispatched with an MMEL, Crew Alerting System (CAS) Relief deviation or
manufacturer waiver for flight, the PIC ensures required actions for the relief or waiver are
accomplished and documented in the appropriate aircraft forms. (T-3).
2.4.2. Orbit Planning. The PIC coordinates with the BMC to determine orbit limitations,
based on tasking, and verify coordinates/dimensions of any new orbits not previously depicted
in the mission binder.
2.5. Airborne Command and Control. On operational missions, crews are to maintain contact
with the BMC. (T-3).
2.6. Law Enforcement Support. It is the procedure of the Department of Defense (DoD) to be
prepared to support civilian law enforcement agencies consistent with the needs of military
preparedness of the United States, while recognizing and conforming to the legal limitations on
direct DoD involvement in civilian law enforcement activities. AFI 10-801, Defense Support of
Civil Authorities, provides policies and procedures service members must follow when supporting
federal, state and local civilian law enforcement agencies. Coordinate all civilian law enforcement
authorities’ requests for assistance through appropriate C2 channels.

Chapter 3

AIRCREW COMPLEMENT/MANAGEMENT

3.1. General. This chapter provides guiding principles to establish and manage E-11A crew
compliments. Commanders at all levels are to follow these policies to establish crew compliments
and to develop aircrew-related work/rest schedules that optimize efficiency of forces engaged in
worldwide operations.
3.2. Aircrew Complement. SQ/CCs will form aircrews based on mission directive, crew duty
time (CDT) requirements, flight duty period (FDP) requirements, aircrew member qualifications,
and other constraints to safely accomplish the mission tasking. (T-3).
3.2.1. Minimum crew complement is two pilots.
3.2.2. For operational missions, two mission-qualified pilots (MPs). First Pilots (FPs) may fly
on operational missions, as required for training, but must fly with an instructor or evaluator
pilot (IP/EP). (T-3).
3.2.3. Crew Augmentation. In addition to the normal operational crew, minimum crew
augmentation consists of an additional MP.
3.2.4. Normally, aircrew manning for operational employment is in accordance with AFI 65-
503, US Air Force Cost and Planning Factors, Table A36-1. Air Force Costs and Planning
Factors tables do not exist due to current program status. Normal crew manning will consist
of 2 fully qualified E-11A pilots. Any changes to this manning requires SQ/CC or SQ/DO
approval.
3.3. Crew Qualifications. Primary crewmembers must be qualified or in training to occupy a
crew position. (T-2).
3.4. Unqualified Crewmembers. An IP must supervise non-current or unqualified pilots
regaining currency or qualification (direct IP supervision, in the seat, during takeoffs, landings and
emergency procedures). (T-2).
3.5. Crew Rest/Flight Duty Period/Crew Augmentation. Crew rest, flight duty period and
crew augmentation are in accordance with AFMAN 11-202V3 and applicable MAJCOM
supplements with the following additional guidance:
3.5.1. If any axis of the autopilot is inoperative, limit basic flight duty period (FDP) to 12
hours and augmented FDP to 16 hours. (T-2).
3.5.2. Unless directed otherwise, aircrew members will automatically enter official crew rest
no later than 12-hours prior to the start of their next scheduled FDP. (T-2). FDP begins when
crew reports for duty and ends at engine shutdown. Crews will not enter crew rest until official
duties are complete. (T-2). Notify crews of mission timeline changes prior to entry into crew
rest whenever possible. Operations Supervisor should show with crew rest for their respective
line in the event they are needed to replace a flying crewmember.
3.5.3. Standby pilots are those not required for flying/Operations Supervisor duties. All
standby pilots should comply with crew rest requirements.
10 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

3.6. Pre-Mission Duties. The AC, in coordination with the SQ/CC or DO, may adjust crew report
time to meet mission requirements. Crew report times will allow sufficient time to accomplish all
preflight activities. (T-3).
3.7. Transportation of Passengers. Space-A passengers will not fly on the E-11A. (T-2).
3.8. Mission Essential Personnel (MEP). MEP will not be listed on the AFTO Form 781, will
not log time, and do not accrue Operation Flying Duty Accumulator (OFDA) credit in accordance
with AFI 11-401. Crewmembers may travel as MEP for a maximum of 72 hours. OG/CC or
equivalent may approve crewmembers to travel as MEP in excess of 72 hours. Note:
Current/qualified aircrew members may perform primary aircrew duties after traveling in MEP
status, provided they do not exceed a basic FDP.
3.9. Aircrew Member Support. Crew rest is required in accordance with AFMAN 11-202V3
when aircrew members are supporting aircraft generation activities (pre-flight, start and taxi of
aircraft). The duty day begins when the aircrew member reports for official duties or 30 minutes
prior to brief time, if required.
3.10. Debriefings.
3.10.1. Conduct the maintenance debriefing as soon as practical after engine shutdown.
3.10.2. If required, conduct an intelligence debriefing.
3.10.3. Conduct a crew debriefing with BMC and supporting agencies.
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 11

Chapter 4

AIRCRAFT OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

4.1. Guidance. This chapter provides guidance on how to operate with degraded equipment. If
the PIC elects to operate with degraded equipment or aircraft systems, coordinate mission
requirements (e.g., revised departure times, fuel requirements, maintenance requirements), prior
to flight with the mission control agency to ensure the decision does not adversely impact follow-
on missions. (T-3).
4.2. Objectives. The final authority regarding equipment required for a mission rests with the
PIC. If one crew accepts an aircraft to operate a mission or mission segment without an item or
system, this acceptance does not commit the crew, or a different crew, to accept subsequent
operations with the same item or system inoperative. When the PIC considers an item essential,
the item will be repaired or replaced prior to departure. (T-2).
4.3. Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
4.3.1. The Federal Aviation Administration MMEL for Bombardier Global Express BD-700-
1A10 aircraft will be utilized as the approved MEL for E-11 operations in accordance with
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 91, General Operation and Flight Rules. The
MMEL is not intended for continued operations over an indefinite period with
systems/subsystems inoperative. Crews will adhere to guidance and repairs will be completed
by the times established in the MMEL. (T-2).
4.3.2. All emergency equipment will be installed and operational unless specifically exempted
by mission requirements/directives. (T-2).
4.4. Dispatching with Inoperable Equipment. The PICs will assess the separate and aggregate
impact of degraded equipment/systems in addition to MMEL minimum requirements. (T-2).
4.4.1. Determining Suitability for Dispatch. PICs will reference QRH 1, QRH 2, Dispatch
Deviation Guide (DDG), and the MMEL. The Go/No-Go Section in QRH 2 does not supersede
data outlined in the MMEL. (T-2). A “GO” condition still requires MMEL consultation.
4.4.2. For operational missions, do not launch until the BMC reports the payload is “GREEN.”
If payload indicates “YELLOW” or “RED,” coordination to reposition the aircraft prior to taxi
may be required.
4.5. One-Time Flight Authorizations. One-time flight authorizations to repair facilities may be
authorized by the OG/CC. If an aircraft has a safety-of-flight condition beyond the immediate or
final repair capability of an en-route facility, temporary repairs may be made to allow a one-time
flight to a facility capable of final repair.

5.15.2. Do not land on a raised arresting cable. (T-2). Damage may occur to the cable or
aircraft.
5.15.3. Do not land over a raised arresting barrier such as an MA-1A. (T-2). This does not
preclude landing over a BAK 12/14 or other cables.
5.15.4. Do not takeoff or land over a raised arresting cable that has been reported as slack,
loose or improperly rigged. (T-2).
5.16. Takeoff and Landing. The left seat pilot normally performs the landing during aircraft
emergencies. An IP may takeoff or land from either seat under any condition.
5.17. Takeoff and Landing Data (TOLD). Verify TOLD in accordance with the AFM. Data
entry into the Flight Management System (FMS) is to be verified by both crewmembers. (T-3).
5.17.1. SDPs are authorized for use. Crewmembers will be trained in SDP operations prior to
use. (T-2).
5.17.2. Crews will use the full runway length to the maximum extent possible. (T-3).
Intersection takeoffs may be used if full runway length is not available and aircraft weight
allows for obstacle clearance in accordance with AFMAN 11-202V3.
5.18. Adverse Weather. Flight into areas of forecast or reported severe icing is prohibited. (T-
2). Prolonged operation, such as cruise flight or holding, in areas of moderate icing should be
avoided.
5.18.1. Do not takeoff under conditions of freezing rain or freezing drizzle. (T-2).
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 15

5.18.2. Freezing precipitation, snow, freezing fog, or temperatures near 0°C, may cause ice or
frost to accumulate on aircraft surfaces. When an aircraft requires de-icing/anti-icing prior to
takeoff:
5.18.2.1. Aircrews will only use de-ice and anti-ice fluids listed in the AFM or approved
by the aircraft manufacturer. (T-2).
5.18.2.2. Refer to FCOM 1 Chapter 7 for holdover times for Type 1 de-ice fluid.
5.18.2.3. PICs will conduct a visual or tactile inspection if holdover times are exceeded,
or there is any suspicion of icing. (T-2).
5.18.3. Flight into areas of forecast or reported severe turbulence is prohibited. (T-2).The AC
is responsible for ensuring any additional personnel are seated, with seat belts fastened, when
areas of moderate or greater turbulence are encountered or anticipated as serious injury may
occur.
5.19. Wind Restrictions. Maximum wind components (including gusts) for takeoff and landing:
5.19.1. Wind in Any Direction is 50 knots.
5.19.2. Tailwind Component is 10 knots.
5.19.3. Crosswind Component is 29 knots.
5.20. Bird Strikes.
5.20.1. Following a bird strike, aircrews should land as soon as conditions permit to have the
aircraft inspected by qualified maintenance personnel. Aircrews involved in a wildlife strike
will fill out an AF Form 853, Air Force Wildlife Strike Report, and forward to the appropriate
safety office. (T-2).
5.20.2. Bird strike damage cannot be accurately assessed in flight and undetected damage may
result in a complex airborne emergency. Aircrews should not change the aircraft configuration
until it has been determined that it is safe to do so.
5.21. Radar Altimeter. Any crewmember detecting any low altitude warning of the radar
altimeter will immediately notify the PF. (T-2). Terrain clearance and aircraft position must be
verified. (T-2).
5.22. Use of Automation. It is the responsibility of the crew to fully understand the operations
and limitations of the automation on the aircraft. In flight, the PF will determine the most desirable
level of automation for a given situation. (T-3).
5.22.1. Use appropriate levels of automation as required by the flight conditions. The first
priority is to fly the aircraft. The FMS and Guidance Panel (GP) are intended to aid in
workload management, not complicate it.
5.22.2. Avoid the following common pitfalls associated with over-reliance, misuse, or
misunderstanding of automation:
5.22.2.1. Fixating on the automation. One pilot should always remain heads up. Establish
clear roles for computer-related tasks. Announce, “Pilot heads down” when the task
requires focusing significant attention on the FMS in flight.
16 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

5.22.2.2. Poor prioritization of programming tasks. Extensive reprogramming during

critical phases of flight or during periods of high workload should be avoided.
5.22.2.3. Poor mode awareness. The PF should monitor flight mode annunciations and
make GP changes during coupled operations. Programming the FMS should be verified
by PF prior to coupling the programmed route to the autopilot. During uncoupled flight,
the PF should direct the PM to make changes to the GP to match the flight director.
Confirm all mode changes by observing the correct flight mode annunciations.
5.22.2.4. Mis-management of altitude preselect. The PM should set the cleared altitude in
the Primary Flight Display (PFD). The altitude will be confirmed. (T-2).
5.22.3. Units will develop their own standard operating procedures (SOPs), supplementing
Bombardier Global Express Operations Reference Manual automation guidance, in their local
procedures. (T-3).
5.23. On-Station Procedures.
5.23.1. The AC/PIC has the responsibility and final authority for determining when the aircraft
should depart station considering all applicable factors (e.g., forecast enroute and destination
weather, enroute winds, icing, mission requirements, fuel requirements, training
requirements). (T-3).
5.23.2. Prior to orbit intercept, the AC/PIC will confirm the type of orbit and airspace
limitations that may alter the planned orbit and ensure the aircraft speed is set to “Manual”.
(T-3).
5.23.3. Upon initial orbit entry or orbit change, the AC/PIC will compute “bingo fuel”
allowing sufficient fuel to fly an approach and missed approach at the destination, then proceed
to a suitable alternate with the required minimum fuel. (T-3).
5.23.3.1. The AC/PIC will identify, check weather, brief, and monitor emergency airfields
within 100 NM of any orbit/holding locations. PICs should consider runway length,
surface, Navigational Aid (NAVAID)/instrument approaches, and hostile/friendly control
of the airfield when selecting an appropriate emergency airfield. (T-3).
5.23.3.2. The AC/PIC will identify, check weather, and monitor contingency airfields
within 1-hour flight time of planned orbit locations. (T-3). Contingency airfields are
commonly accepted divert airfields, which should be researched in the preflight mission
planning/briefing.
5.23.4. Aircrews will evaluate weather considerations within one hour of assuming station and
make periodic weather checks as required. (T-3). This check may include enroute, landing
base and alternate base weather.
5.23.5. If fuel requirements necessitate a modification to on-station duration, orbit pattern, or
altitude, the AC will notify the appropriate ATC/TACS agency and/or BMC. (T-3).
5.23.6. The BMC will monitor aircraft position and immediately inform the aircrew of any
identified deviations from the planned orbit. (T-3).
5.23.7. Aircraft Recall/Diversion. Unless received over secured communications or via
appropriate SPINS code word, aircrew will challenge any recall or diversion order using
appropriate theater procedures. (T-2).
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 17

5.24. Enroute Navigation.

5.24.1. Performance Specification Airspace. The E-11A Communication Navigation
Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) capabilities are located within Bombardier
aircraft publication FCOM 1, and AFM Supplements.
5.24.2. E-11A crews are not authorized to fly Required Navigational Performance (RNP) 0.3
approaches. (T-1).
5.24.3. Overlay approaches. The GPS Approach Overlay Program is an authorization for
pilots to use GPS avionics under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) for flying designated non-
precision instrument approach procedures, except Localizer (LOC), Localizer type directional
aid (LDA) and Simplified Directional Facility (SDF) procedures. These procedures are now
identified by the name of the procedure and “or GPS” (e.g., VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range
(VOR)/ Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) or GPS RWY 15). Other previous types of
overlays have either been converted to this format or replaced with stand-alone procedures.
Only approaches contained in the current onboard navigation database are authorized.
5.24.4. Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) Certification. E-11A aircraft and
aircrews are certified to fly in RVSM airspace. Notify Air Traffic Control (ATC) immediately
if any RVSM-required equipment fails while operating in RVSM airspace. (T-1).
5.25. Inflight Troubleshooting.
5.25.1. After flight manual emergency procedures are complete, aircrews will not conduct in-
flight troubleshooting. (T-1).
5.25.2. Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Flight Data Recorder (FDR). If involved in a
mishap or incident ensure the following: after landing and terminating the emergency, open
the EMS/CDU circuit breakers. (T-1).
5.26. Prior to Descent or Approach. Prior to descent from cruise altitude, the pilot flying the
approach will brief the crew in accordance with locally developed briefing guides. (T-2).
5.27. Descent below Decision Height (DH)/Decision Altitude (DA)/ Minimum Descent
Altitude (MDA) Using Enhanced Vision System (EVS). Pilots will not continue below
DH/DA/MDA using EVS as the sole means to identify the runway environment or touchdown
zone. (T-2). If used for situational awareness, pilots will set the EVS to “Clear” prior to DH.
5.28. Functional Check Flights.
5.28.1. The E-11 Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engineering and manufacturer
maintenance manuals determine the requirement for Functional Check Flight (FCF)
requirements. E-11A OEM engineering does not require flight checks, therefore, FCFs are not
required. If FCFs are required in the future, an FCF Program is be developed in accordance
with AFI 21-101, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management.
5.28.2. If manufacturer maintenance manuals or engineering reviews recommend an inflight
check following ground maintenance checks, a flight check specific to the recommendation
will be accomplished. (T-3).
5.28.2.1. Aircraft will be at least partial mission-capable (PMC) to perform the check on
repaired systems. (T-3). Flights should have a fuel load that allows an immediate landing.
18 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

If required, flights can be accomplished on operational missions at the discretion of unit

leadership.
5.28.2.2. Minimum Operational Check Flight (OCF)/Maintenance Check Crew
Complement. At least one Instructor Pilot (occupying the left seat) and one qualified Pilot
(occupying the right seat).
5.29. Touch-and-Go Landings and Missed Approach Limitations. Touch-and-go landings
and practice missed approach procedures are prohibited. (T-2).
5.30. Training on Operational Missions. Unit commanders may approve training during
operational missions provided an IP or EP is occupying one of the pilot seats and the training
objective is in accordance with unit syllabus.
5.31. Simulated Emergency Flight Procedures. Unless conducted in accordance with unit
training syllabus, simulated emergency procedures are prohibited. (T-3). In the event of an actual
emergency, all training will be terminated until the PIC determines that all required actions are
complete and that further training will not add additional risk. (T-2).

Chapter 6

AIRCREW PROCEDURES

6.1. General. This chapter provides general E-11A aircrew procedures that should be utilized
during contingency operations.
6.2. Preflight Guidance. Two pilots are required to conduct engine start and payload
initialization. (T-3). Single pilot power-on preflights are authorized if a second pilot is not
available. Aircrew members performing preflight duties prior to a scheduled crew’s arrival
(preflight crews) must be crew rested. (T-2).
6.2.1. ACs are to conduct a review and sign the aircraft pre-flight briefing form located in the
Aircraft Flight Log and Forms Binder onboard the aircraft prior to any crewmember
conducting pre-flight duties. (T-3). Items affecting the pre-flight/flight will be briefed before
execution of preflight duties. The AC will also ensure the AFTO Form 46, Prepositioned
Aircrew Flight Equipment located at the back of the Aircraft Flight Log and Forms Binder is
signed off. (T-2).
6.2.2. Crews will verify the following are stored on the aircraft prior to departure:
6.2.2.1. Fuel Cards and Aircraft Keys Storage. (T-2).
6.2.2.2. Unclassified survival gear backpacks. (T-2).
6.3. Engine Runs. Flight operations and maintenance personnel are responsible for providing
Bombardier’s guidance to aircrew to complete required actions. A crew chief will be positioned
outside the aircraft in contact with crew via aircraft interphone and have safety/firefighting
equipment readily available. (T-2). If a maintenance procedure is required to be conducted in
addition to the aircrew checklist, a brief will be conducted between maintenance and the aircrew.
(T-3). The brief will include at a minimum:
6.3.1. Plan for engine run. (T-2).
6.3.2. Maintenance procedures to be accomplished. (T-2).
6.3.3. Potential emergency procedures. (T-2).
6.3.4. Egress plan in case the aircraft needs to be evacuated. (T-2).
6.4. Cabin Security. The AC will ensure all items in the cabin are secure prior to taxi. (T-2).
Curtains will be open for taxi, takeoff and landing. (T-2).
6.5. Carriage of Mission Essential Personnel (MEP).
6.5.1. If carrying non-crewmembers, PIC will ensure personnel and jump seat pilots are
briefed on emergency egress in accordance with Attachment 2 and the Bombardier Cabin
Safety Card located in the publication locker. (T-2). Personnel will remain seated until passing
10,000 feet above ground level (AGL). (T-2).
6.5.2. If used, stow the jump seat until after the engines are started to maintain a clear path for
the crew to egress the aircraft. Then deploy the jump seat for the occupant to strap in prior to
taxi. Do not let unfamiliar personnel deploy or stow the jump seat.
20 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

6.6. Egress Procedures. Initiate egress in accordance with the Emergency Ground Evacuation
memory item. The primary means of egress is the passenger door. Once off the aircraft, the
standard rally point is 300 feet off the nose of the aircraft unless otherwise briefed.
6.7. TOLD and FMS Waypoint Verification. The CP will load aircraft takeoff parameters and
verify with the AC. (T-2). Pilots will consult the QRH and SDP information to ensure the aircraft
is legal to depart. (T-2). In addition, FMS routing, waypoints, and takeoff data are confirmed by
both pilots prior to departure. (T-2).
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 21

Chapter 7

AIRCRAFT SECURITY

7.1. General. This chapter provides guidance for aircraft security on the ground and in-flight.
This security priority designation applies to operational aircraft, wherever they are located,
worldwide. Some aircraft contain equipment and documents that require protection per AFI 16-
1404, Air Force Information Security Program.
7.2. Procedures. The PIC is ultimately responsible for the security of their aircraft when located
away from US military installations. AFI 31-101, Integrated Defense (ID), covers security
arrangements when US Air Force aircraft are located on other DoD installations. Arrangements
must be made to protect the aircraft during crew rest status at non-US protected locations. (T-0).
If US military security forces are not available, the US embassy assigned to that country must be
consulted to ensure security arrangements are made. (T-0). For missions involving a planning
agency, the agency must coordinate with the PIC to ensure that planned security measures conform
to mission requirements. (T-0). The amount of security required may vary, depending on location
and ground time.
7.2.1. For permissive environments, PIC will receive a threat assessment and force protection
capability evaluation briefing at home station prior to departure and receive updates enroute,
if required. (T-2). Aircrew should consider OPSEC and zeroize FMS routing, waypoints, and
takeoff data, as required, before departing the aircraft. When landing at a DoD component
installation, the installation commander is responsible to provide adequate security for the
aircraft. The PIC will determine if security is adequate. (T-2). Planning agencies and PIC
will assess the risk to parked aircraft for planned overnight stops located at non-US military
installation overseas and civilian airfields. (T-2).
7.2.2. For unscheduled or emergency landings at non-USAF installations the PIC will assess
the aircraft security situation. (T-2). If force protection capability appears insufficient the PIC
will take the following actions:
7.2.2.1. Aircrew surveillance. If the aircraft is not remaining overnight, aircrews are
capable of maintaining appropriate aircraft security. The PIC will direct armed
crewmembers to remain with the aircraft and maintain surveillance of aircraft entrances
and activities in the aircraft vicinity. (T-2).
7.2.2.2. . Area Patrol. The PIC will request area patrol coverage from local security forces
to include back-up response forces. (T-2). If local authorities request payment for this
service, contract the SQ/CC who will coordinate with ACC/A3CA, the E-11A Weapon
System Team, and the System Program Office. (T-2). If contact with leadership is
unavailable and securing the aircraft by other means in not feasible, use SF 44, Purchase
Order - Invoice Voucher Storage Safeguard Form, and contact leadership as soon as
available.
7.2.2.3. Departure without crew rest. If local security forces are unacceptable or
unavailable, the PIC is authorized to exceed the FDP and depart as soon as possible for a
destination with adequate force protection. If unable to depart the location due to system
malfunction, the aircrew must secure the aircraft to the best of their ability. (T-0). In no
case will the entire crew leave the aircraft unattended. Crew rest requirements will be
22 AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020

subordinate to aircraft security when the airframe may be at risk. The PIC should rotate a
security detail among the crew to provide for both aircraft protection and crew rest until
relief is available. The PIC will coordinate through C2 channels to acquire additional
security. (T-2).
AFMAN11-2E-11V3 6 JULY 2020 23

9.2. Instructor/Flight Examiner Briefings. Before all training/evaluation missions, the PIC or
instructor/flight examiner will brief the crew on the training/evaluation requirements, objectives,
planned profiles and seat assignments. (T-2).
9.3. Debriefing. IPs will review and assess overall training performed. (T-2). Each student or
crewmember should thoroughly understand what training has been accomplished. All required
documentation should be completed as expeditiously as possible.
9.4. Touch-and-Go Landings and Missed Approach Limitations. Touch-and-go landings and
practice missed approach procedures are prohibited. (T-2).
9.5. Training on Operational Missions. Unit commanders may approve training during
operational missions provided an IP or EP is occupying one of the pilot seats and the training
objective is in accordance with unit syllabus.
9.6. Simulated Emergency Flight Procedures. Unless conducted in accordance with unit
training syllabus, simulated emergency procedures are prohibited. (T-3). In the event of an actual
emergency, all training will be terminated until the PIC determines that all required actions are

Chapter 11

FUEL PLANNING

11.1. General. A fuel plan is required for all flights except AOR flights with established standard
fuel loads. All preflight planning must be verified with the aircraft FMS prior to departure. (T-
2). Missions should be planned at altitudes, routes and airspeeds to minimize fuel usage and
maximize mission effectiveness.
11.2. Fuel Planning Profiles. Enroute cruise airspeed should be planned at a constant indicated
airspeed (IAS)/Mach in accordance with the performance manual. Divert profiles should be fully
fuel planned and represent what will actually be flown in a divert situation.
11.3. Fuel Planning Procedures. Aircrew and mission planners will manage aviation fuel as a
limited commodity and precious resource. (T-3). Fuel optimization will be considered throughout
all phases of mission planning and execution. (T-3). Do not ferry extra fuel beyond optimum
requirements for safe mission accomplishment and training objectives. (T-3). Aircrew should
employ the following aviation fuel optimization measures without compromising flight safety or
jeopardizing mission/training accomplishment. Aircrew will:
11.3.1. Optimize fuel loads. Mission plan for the required ramp and recovery fuel. Ensure
ramp fuel is correct upon arrival at aircraft. (T-3).
11.3.2. Delay engine start time. stablish and implement local engine start time standards.
11.3.3. Establish C2 procedures to ensure timely notification of mission changes/cancellations
to avoid unnecessary or unproductive flight time. (T-2).
11.3.4. When required, crews will select a suitable alternate and apply a fuel reserve in
accordance with AFMAN 11-202V3. (T-2).
11.3.5. Crews will declare “emergency fuel” and request priority handling by ATC when fuel
state is anticipated to be 2,100 lbs. (2,400 lbs. for aircraft 11-9001) or less at landing. (T-2).
