Which statement is true about extending the 12-month Stan Check and CRM requirements to the 15th month?

• A. Extension may be granted with CO approval
• B. Extension is not permitted
• C. Extension requires approval from the Wing Commander
• D. Extension is automatic after 12 months

Answer: (A)

Extensions beyond the 12-month mark for Stan Check and CRM are allowed only when the unit’s commanding officer approves them. This authority lets the CO grant a short extension, up to the 15th month, to accommodate legitimate scheduling or operational needs while keeping safety and readiness intact. It isn’t automatic, and it isn’t delegated to higher levels by default, which is why simply assuming an extension or requiring Wing Commander approval would be incorrect. The CO’s approval provides the necessary balance between compliance and practicality.
