of single-pilot aircraft may be used as copilots on deploying
flights; scout pilots from deploying attack units may serve as
copilots on the escorting CH-47s or UH-60s; and UH-1 pilots are
possible copilots for the UH-60s being deployed. Wartime waivers may
be required for crew substitutions. Safety, however, must always be
the prime consideration.
Aircrews must ensure the completion of
their missions and their future influence within the theater of
operations.
d. Destination Points
On arrival at the destination, the ferry equipment is removed
from the aircraft and required maintenance is performed.
ASTs and
the ferry equipment are returned to the depot or departure points to
be used on later flights. At this point, the self-deployment process
ends as aircraft and crews are integrated into the theater of
operations.
