Summary of Information Collection

The requirement to have government approval of contract flight crewmembers is in Defense Logistics Agency Manual (DLAM) 8210.1, Contractor's Ground and Flight Operations, Vol 1, Chapter 6. The contractor provides a personal history and requests the government approve training in a particular type government aircraft (Form 2627). The contractor certifies the crewmember has passed a flight evaluation and, with the Form 2628, requests approval for the personnel to operate and fly government aircraft. Without the approvals, the contractor cannot use their personnel as requested.
