Notes & Sources
- Special Operations Forces/Personnel Recovery Integrated Instrument and Flight Control Systems (2A2X2) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 delete the 2A252/2A272 ladder and convert holders to 2A954/2A974 (Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics).
- The in-force directory carries no section for this code; instrument and flight control work on heavy and special-mission aircraft is described in the 2A9X4 specialty, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
