MATTER OF: Colonel                   -p. /UA

DIGEST:
           1. The use of Aero Club-owned or Government-
               loaned aircraft is considered a Government
               conveyance when used as a mode of official
               travel but under current regulations such use
               will not take precedence over normal Govern-
               ment conveyance irrespective of whether
               use of the aircraft may be conAsidered advan-
               tageous to the Government. See M4406-3
               and M4405-2 of I JTR.
           2. Air Force member who traveled on temporary
               duty using Aero Club aircraft which incurred
               mechanical difficulties causing a layover of
               four days may not be reimbursed per diem for
               the layover time since M4406-3 of 1 JTR,
               provides that per diem in this circumstance
               not exceed the amount which would have been
               payable had the member used such commercial
               transportation as would have been available,

           3. Air Force member who traveled on temporary
              duty using Aero Club aircraft which incurred
              mechanical difficulties may not be reimbursed
              for travel to and from San Francisco, his
              permanent duty station, while waiting for the
              aircraft to be repaired, since the trip was not
              a necessary expense pursuant to public business
              but an expense as a result of a personal choice.
              See M4406-3 of I JTR,

          4. The determination of the constructive transpor-
              tation cost ceiling on Air Force travel vouchers
              involving Aero Club aircraft or private aircraft
              by including those commercial fares for the
              operator (pilot) plus corresponding fares for
              any passengers accompaning the operator who
              are also in an official travel status does not
              appear to be improper.
