ordance with theprofilescontained in this documentCloseattention must be paid to the prerequisites section at the beginning of each profile. Pilots must be CAPqualified as described in the profile.Only flights flown in accordance with both the profile prerequisites and content guidance qualify for AFAM status.IntentThe primary focus of theprofiles is aircrewproficiency. Although some of these profiles support general proficiency flying, most are designed to prepare crews to fly operational missions. As appropriate, those flights should include a Mission Observer and Scanner. tune training for other aircrew positions may e accomplishedin conjunction with a proficiency sortieowever, under no circumstances will an aircrew member working on their own proficiency also serve in an instructor capacity for trainee on the same sortie. For example, if flying Profile #1Visual Search Mission, a Scanner or Observer trainee with a dedicated instructor may accompany the flight to accomplish Scanner or Observer training tasks.FundingThe proficiency flights described in these profiles may be flown as either reimbursed missions (Air Force funded)using the A12 mission symbol, or as missions unsupported by Air Force funds using the B12 mission symbol.
