Has 3710 updated lately? It’s been awhile, but I thought I remembered night overwater pax transfers that landed on a boat were verboten, regardless of where the flight originated. I also thought all swims weren’t equal, aka a jet guy needs helo dunker training, to be considered a full crew member.
To be fair, 3710 is poorly worded and could use some more exacting language, but:
"Passenger" is clearly defined as non-crew on a point-to-point.
"Orientation flights" have to launch/land at the same place.
COs can waive sims for
one orientation flight, not to include rated aviators (rated aviators must have swims).
If you have swims and aren't a passenger, by elimination, you're a crew member and should be manifested as at least an
observer.
So technically, if SN Timmé is riding along on the fly-off -> passenger. If he's getting his good-deal reenlistment flight (ship or shore), it's an orientation flight, and there isn't really a defined term for the non-crew, non-pax SN Timmé (should be orientee, but I don't think 3710 uses that).
