API 7 describes which individuals?

• A. USAF officers assigned to active flying duties in other than USAF units
• B. Flight Surgeon who FLY
• C. Front end crew
• D. Staff at wing level below

Answer: (A)

API 7 identifies those who are actively performing flying duties while serving in units outside the Air Force. The best fit is a USAF officer who remains in active flying status but is assigned to a unit other than an Air Force one—such as joint or allied-service assignments—because their primary role still involves flight duties, just in a non–AF environment. This distinguishes them from others who may fly but whose primary designation isn’t “active flying duties in non‑AF units,” such as a Flight Surgeon (a medical officer who may fly but is categorized by medical duties), front end crew (not a defined API 7 category), or wing-level staff (administrative roles, not active flying duties).
