Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 131X as: “An Unrestricted Line Officer who is qualified for duty involving flying heavier-than-air, or heavier and lighter-than-air type of aircraft as a pilot”
- The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
