1. The dispatcher prints the name or names of the operator or operators of the equipment in blocks provided. Enter the last name first
followed by the first name, middle initial, and then rank/grade.
2. Operators may change after equipment has been dispatched. This normally happens when an operator becomes sick or overly
tired. The operator’s supervisor or leader, OIC, or NCOIC closes out the first operator’s entry. He or she logs the IN time and miles/
hours in the ACTION section for that operator. The new operators name goes in the next OPERATOR block. The supervisor or leader
signs in the next open DISPATCHER’S SIGNATURE block. If the OPERATOR blocks are all filled, enter the names, time, and miles/
hours in the REMARKS block.

only when destinations or date entries are made. The assistants operator name is shown in the REMARKS block.

traveled during the dispatch. If the odometer is broken, enter EST in front of the figure.

TOTAL. Subtract the OUT hours from the IN hours. This total shows the number of hours used during the dispatch or operation. If the
hourmeter is broken, enter EST in front of the number.
FUEL. IF required locally, the dispatcher keeps a running total of fuel added to the equipment. This entry shows how much fuel has
been added to date when the form was started. Local SOP states how long fuel totals are carried.
OIL. For equipment under the AOAP, the dispatcher keeps a running total of oil added to the equipment. This entry shows how much
oil has been added for the current period when the form was started. Oil added totals are kept only between oil samples. When a new
