The requirement to have government approval of contract flight crewmembers is in Defense Contract Management Agency Directive 1, Chapter 8, Contractor's Flight and Ground Operations. The contractor provides a personal history and requests the government to approve training in a particular type government aircraft (DD Form 2627). The contractor certifies the crewmember has passed a flight evaluation and, with the DD Form 2628, requests approval for the personnel to operate and fly government aircraft. Without the correct approvals, the contractor cannot use their personnel as requested.
