Regarding DOD/Military Charters, which statement is true?

• A. There will always be a charter representative on board
• B. The Captain must have 250 hours in the type of aircraft to be flown
• C. There will always be a 'fly-away kit' on the aircraft
• D. All of the above are true

Answer: (D)

DoD/military charters require coordinated government liaison, experienced PIC in the specific aircraft, and readiness to handle on-site contingencies. Having a charter representative on board provides a dedicated point of contact to liaise with military officials, manage required documentation, and ensure all DoD procedures are followed during the flight. The Captain must have substantial hours in the aircraft type to be flown, ensuring familiarity with the aircraft’s performance, systems, and handling characteristics that are essential for safe execution of mission-specific tasks. A fly-away kit on the aircraft equips the crew to address common in-field maintenance, safety checks, and urgent needs when operating from remote locations or away from standard maintenance facilities. When these elements are combined, they reflect the standard practices for DoD/military charters, making all of these statements true.
