**Instructions: USE OF TACTICAL RISK MATRIX, FLIGHT OPERATIONS**

1\. The Mission Coordinator (IC) is responsible for risk management
during all operations where this position is manned. A general risk
assessment should be accomplished prior to initiating operations. This
assessment should be done using average human and equipment factors and
actual conditions forecast for the sortie area. The results of this
assessment must be provided to Air Operations, Briefing Officers, and
all aircrews prior to launching sorties.

2\. Each flight crew will make a risk assessment of their specific
sortie. The Pilot In Command may increase the points assigned to a
particular risk factor at his discretion or best judgment. The Pilot In
Command is responsible for the safety and planning of the intended
flight mission. The pilot in command must apply their personal minimums
to each flight plan.

3\. The calculated total risk is reported to the Briefing Officer during
the pre-mission brief. If the risk is in the medium range, Air
Operations should evaluate whether steps may be taken to reduce the
risk. Possible steps include reassigning the sortie to a more rested or
more experienced crew, assigning partial grids, delaying the flight for
better conditions, etc.

4\. If the calculated mission total falls in [the high risk
category]{.underline}, all possible steps must be taken to reduce /
limit the risk. If a high risk sortie must be launched, approval of the
Wing Commander (or designated representative) is required. Additionally:
personnel qualified to approve high risk sorties may be assigned by the
Wing Commander as required. Even so, great care must go into launching
any flight where the risk is determined to be high.

5\. The ultimate responsibility for determining whether a particular
sortie may be safely launched rests with the flight crew. The flight
crew is required to decline or refuse any sortie, REGARDLESS OF THE RISK
ASSESSMENT RESULTS, if any member of the flight crew feels that the
sortie cannot be safely completed.

6\. Regardless of the risk totals, the responsibility for the safe
completion of the flight is on the CAP Flight Team. Every Commander and
every pilot must exercise great care in assessing the flight variables
to assure a safe completion of every flight. Flight "Operational Risks"
must continuously be observed, evaluated, and updated to prevent an
aircrew loss. Always look out for each other. Always report changes in
weather or conditions that might put you or the next flight crew in
harms way.

7\. This instruction page and form is not the final authority nor is it
all inclusive of every item detail that might be applicable to any
specific flight or flight condition. It is designed to be an aid to safe
flight planning and execution of the same. This worksheet will be
updated as required in the future. Please discard all previous versions.
