608. STUDENT FLIGHT TIME. If a sortie is scheduled as a
dedicated SNA training flight (student "X"), then the SNA under

events when the SNA is not under instruction (i.e., observing an
event from the lead or chase aircraft).
609. ADDING ITEMS TO AN EVENT. The instructor may demonstrate
additional flight curriculum items during a flight under the
following guidelines:
a.
All scheduled curriculum items are completed first.

dollars and degrades overall training efficiency.
Identification of long-term medical issues and close monitoring
is essential for effective management of the problem utilizing
existing medical or administrative resources. This guidance is
provided to standardize the disposition of students within the
NATRACOM who have accrued extensive periods of time in a Medical

aviation duty. If a Flight Surgeon (FS) review determines that
