Standardized Aircraft Information File

Standardized Aircraft Information File (AIF)
(Last Updated on 14 Mar 08) (All files transitioned to MS Word)

The National Executive Committee directed that all wings standardize their Aircraft Information Files (AIF) by 1 Oct 07. No local changes or substitutions to the forms or format are authorized.

Aircraft Information Files are required to be utilized on all CAP aircraft as specified in CAPR 60-1, para 2-14. During large-scale operations such as the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief mission, and other similar missions it was discovered that the variety and format of each wing and region AIF was so dissimilar and varied that flight crews assigned to fly aircraft from wings and regions other than their home unit encountered difficulty in determining airworthiness and maintenance information. Additionally the aircraft flight log formats and other documentation such as equipment lists were unfamiliar to many of the flight crews. This will resolve these problems.
