What is the required action regarding flight record folders for members disqualified for eight years or more?

The correct action regarding flight record folders for members disqualified for eight years or more is that they are given to the member. This policy allows individuals to keep a personal record of their flight history, which can be beneficial for various reasons, such as personal reference, future employment opportunities, or transitioning to other career fields.

This practice underscores the importance of transparency and ensuring that personnel have access to their own records, which is especially relevant for those who may wish to reactivate their qualifications or apply for new positions where proof of flight experience is required. Additionally, it promotes a sense of ownership and responsibility over personal career documents.

In contrast, other options like archiving or destroying the folders would mean that the member loses access to their flight records, which may not align with best practices in personnel management and record-keeping within aviation resources. Retaining the records with the HARM office could imply that the member does not have immediate access to their personal documents, which can be seen as limiting their ability to manage their professional history effectively.
