The publication has been revised to align the waiver authority statements (e.g., “ T-1,” “T-2”.) The format was changed to chapters affecting the paragraph numbering, and includes many other administrative changes. Additions to Chapter 6 address new training requirements. Chapter 9 was deleted and the information moved to paragraph 1.4. This publication should be completely reviewed

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

2 publications in 2 other communities depend on this one, which Flying Operations owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If AFI 11-418 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
