Notes & Sources
- Mobility Air Forces Integrated Instrument and Flight Control Systems (2A8X2) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 delete the 2A852/2A872 ladders 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 airlift and tanker aircraft is described in the 2A9X4 specialty, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
