Tips for Accurate Completion

These practices help ensure AF Form 942 is completed without errors:

• Use black or blue ink if completing the form by hand. Pencil is not acceptable for official records.
• Verify the DoD ID before entering it. An incorrect DoD ID can cause the record to be filed under the wrong individual.
• Make sure the aircraft designation matches the official Air Force short designation used in unit records and training files.
• Do not use correction fluid on the completed form. If an error occurs, draw a single line through the incorrect entry, initial it, and enter the correct information above the line.
• Retain a signed copy of the completed form for unit files in accordance with applicable Air Force records management directives.

How to Submit the Completed AF Form 942

Units operating under wing or higher headquarters oversight may also be required to forward copies to higher-level evaluation offices as directed by the unit's applicable operations instruction or supplement to AFI 11-202V2.
