The term 'aircraft' refers to all Army aircraft types (rotary wing [RW] aircraft, fixed-wing [FW] aircraft, and unmanned aircraft systems [UAS]); unless a specific aircraft has been identified in this publication. The terms combat aviation brigade (CAB) and AMC align with the Army's force design for Army Aviation. Terms and definitions for which this publication is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For other definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized, and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition.
ATP 3-04.7 applies to all Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, United States Army Reserve, civilian, and contract maintenance personnel.
