6.42.9.2. Destination weather is forecast to be at or above minimums before excess fuel
will be consumed.
6.43. NVG Approach and Landing.
6.43.1. NVG Approach Weather Minimums. Weather minimums for NVG visual
approaches, NVG visual pattern work, and crewmembers who are non-current and/or
unqualified is 1500/3. Current and qualified NVG aircrews may fly IFR approaches with
weather at approach minimums.
6.43.2. NVG Malfunction during Approach and Landing. If one of the pilots experience
NVG failure on short final, it will be at the discretion of the PIC to transition to normal lights
or perform a go-around. The PM will be ready to immediately assume aircraft control if the
PF experiences spatial disorientation or an NVG malfunction. See AFTTP 3-3.C-130E/H for
additional NVG emergency information.
6.44. Unscheduled Landings. When an unscheduled landing or crew rest occurs at a base
without a passenger facility, the PIC will immediately advise the appropriate C2 agency and
request assistance in arranging substitute airlift for passengers on board. The following
procedures apply when obtaining support for service members, in a group travel status, who are
transported on AMC organic aircraft flying a Transportation Working Capital Fund (TWCF)
mission, which incur an unscheduled delay due to weather or maintenance problems, forcing the
members to be lodged at that location until the aircraft can continue its mission.
6.44.1. If the delay is at a location where DOD facilities and AMC TWCF funds are
available, payment for lodging (contract or on-base) will be made by the local accounting
liaison/OPLOC citing TWCF funds. The appropriate TWCF fund cite may be obtained from
the local financial analysis and/or accounting liaison office. Normally, a BPA contract or AF
Form 616, Fund Cite Authorization is already established at these locations to charge the
routine lodging costs for transient or TDY individuals who are on TWCF funded travel
orders.
6.44.2. If the delay is at a location where DOD facilities are available and AMC TWCF
funds are not available, the PIC will utilize AF Form 15, United States Air Force Invoice
authority to acquire the appropriate lodging accommodations. Upon return to home station,
the PIC will send the AF Form 15 to the local accounting liaison office. A copy of the service
members' group travel orders, along with any other pertinent supporting data, must
accompany the form (e.g., lodging invoice and/or receipts). When the AF Form 15 has been
validated, it will be forwarded on to the servicing OPLOC for payment, citing the funds of
the unit whose aircraft was delayed.
6.44.3. If the delay is at a location where both DOD facilities and TWCF funds are
unavailable, the PIC will utilize AF Form 15 authority to acquire the appropriate meals,
quarters, and transportation to support the service members. Upon return to home station, the
PIC will send the AF Form 15 to the local accounting liaison office. A copy of the service
members' group travel orders, along with any other pertinent supporting data, must
accompany the form (e.g., lodging invoice and/or receipts). When the AF Form 15 has been
validated, it will be forwarded on to the servicing OPLOC for payment, citing the funds of
the unit whose aircraft was delayed. NOTE: This policy does not apply to those passengers
on delayed TWCF organic aircraft who are in a per diem or space available status, except for
