Which combination of FAC code indicates inactive status (inactive, does not fly)?

Which combination of FAC code indicates inactive status (inactive, does not fly)?

• A. FAC 1 and A - primary job is to fly NOT associated with training
• B. FAC 7 and G - Inactive, does not fly
• C. FAC 2 and B - primary job is to fly ASSOCIATED with training/instructors
• D. FAC 3 and C - primary job is NOT associated with training but are in a supervisory role

Answer: (B)

FAC codes communicate both what a member’s primary duty involves and their flight status. The numeric portion shows whether their main focus is flying and whether it’s tied to training, while the letter portion indicates the training/instructor linkage or supervisory context and, together with the number, conveys the current status. The status described as inactive and not flying is built into the combination that explicitly states that condition. That pairing is the one that directly tells you the member is not scheduled for flight tasks, which is exactly what “inactive, does not fly” means. The other combinations point to ongoing flying duties—either with training and instructors or in a supervisory role—not inactive, so they don’t match the requirement of being non-flying.
