Which status is NOT a phase 2 status?

• A. Basic Aircraft Qualified (BAQ)
• B. Mission Ready (MR)
• C. Combat Mission Ready (CMR)
• D. Flight Readiness

Answer: (D)

Phase 2 statuses describe a person’s level of qualification and readiness to perform missions. Basic Aircraft Qualified means you’ve earned the foundational ability to operate the aircraft and its basic systems. Mission Ready indicates you can carry out standard missions under typical conditions. Combat Mission Ready goes a step further, showing you’re prepared for combat missions with the necessary training and equipment.

Flight Readiness, however, refers to whether an aircraft (or a flight operation) is ready to fly, a maintenance or airworthiness condition rather than a personal qualification level. It isn’t part of the phase 2 progression of an individual’s flight readiness, which is why it’s not a phase 2 status.
