Probationary Flight Officer:
Probationary Flight Officers are Air Support Unit trained employees who are only trained for camera and co-piloting operations. Probationary Flight Officers should patrol as regular units until dispatched. They respond to the helipad when requested and respond with a Flight Officer or higher to the location where their presence is needed.
Flight Officer:
Flight officers are allowed to patrol as one of the branches within the Air Support Unit. They are NOT allowed to conduct flights without being requested (Including maintenance flights) UNLESS there is a TFO or higher available as the pilot. When a request comes in for additional ground units (LEO / Fire) and they are not involved in a scene or no longer needed on it they should break off and activate as said units.
Exceptions can be given by the CTFO.
