What this publication covers

This publication prescribes policies, responsibilities, and procedures for applying for flying training, Air Battle Manager (ABM) training, and astronaut programs. Information regarding exceptions to policy is located in Chapter 5.

What changed in this edition

This guidance was previously published in AFMAN 36-2100, Chapter 3. Major changes from previous guidance include: restructure and realignment of all Chapters; clarified roles and responsibilities, eligibility, required documentation, waivers and exception to policies; deleted duplicate information; adopted forms and incorporated changes; identified tiered waiver authorities for unit-level compliance items. Other major changes include reducing the use of acronyms, limiting the scope of this publication to DAF guidance, and lowering compliance tiers where possible

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.
