What action must be taken by HARM if a member starts flying duties after being initially assigned to flying duty?

When a member begins flying duties after being initially assigned to flying duty, it is essential for the HARM (Health and Resource Management) to change the member's flying status code from "A" (which indicates they are not currently performing flying duties) to "S" (indicating they are authorized to perform flying duties). This change reflects the member's new status and ensures that their flying qualifications and readiness are accurately recorded in the personnel system. Such an update is critical for maintaining proper flight operations and safety, as it directly links the member's health and training status to their current flying duties.

Adjusting the flying status code is a key administrative action that allows for proper tracking of the member’s qualifications and ensures compliance with aviation regulations and organizational requirements. This action does not involve reassessing health status, additional training, or altering promotion timelines, as those focus on different aspects of a member's career or readiness, rather than the immediate requirement to update their flying status in response to their new duties.
