DAF Form 65: Aircraft Re-Serviced Workload Guide 2026

DAF Form 65: Aircraft Re-Serviced Workload Guide 2026 – DAF Form 65, officially titled Aircraft Re-serviced Workload, is a key Department of the Air Force (DAF) document used by Fleet Service personnel at aerial ports and air terminals. It tracks additional aircraft servicing workload—such as re-cleaning, re-servicing lavatories/potable water systems, or related tasks—performed due to factors outside the aerial port’s direct control.

This form supports accurate monthly workload reporting through the Workload Reporting System (WRS) and helps justify resources, staffing, and funding for Transportation Working Capital Fund (TWCF) operations under Air Mobility Command (AMC) oversight.

What Is DAF Form 65 Used For?

Fleet Service teams handle critical ground support tasks for military and commercial aircraft, including:

  • Interior/exterior cleaning (clean fleet vs. dirty fleet operations)
  • Lavatory servicing and fluid replenishment
  • Potable water system servicing and sanitization
  • Meal delivery/setup and related expendable/non-expendable item handling

A re-service occurs when these tasks must be repeated (e.g., due to aircraft delays, diversions, maintenance issues, or other external factors). DAF Form 65 captures this extra effort for:

  • Monthly Station Traffic Handling Reports (via WRS or manual DAF Form 82)
  • Resource management and performance metrics
  • Compliance with DAFI 24-605, Volume 2, Air Transportation Operations (updated as of 2025)

It is often paired with DAF Form 7515 (Fleet Service Arrival/Departure Worksheet) for detailed mission tracking.

Key Features and Completion Guidelines

  • Purpose: Documents re-servicing events (e.g., re-cleaning passenger compartments, re-servicing latrines/water systems, or re-delivering meals/igloos) not caused by aerial port actions.
  • When to Use: Record data for any Fleet Service re-accomplishment outside normal control. Enter remarks on related forms like DAF Form 7515.
  • Submission: Fleet Service Manager validates monthly. Data feeds into automated systems (e.g., GATES) or manual processes. Submit supporting docs to Data Records by the 20th of the month for WRS reporting.
  • Automation: Use Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES) where available; manual equivalents for outages or non-automated stations.
  • Retention: Follow Air Force Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) via AFRIMS.

Pro Tip for USAF Personnel: Always cross-reference with DAFI 24-605V2, Chapter 2 (Fleet Service) and Chapter 4 (Data Records) for latest procedures. Local supplements may apply.

Why DAF Form 65 Matters for U.S. Air Force Readiness?

Accurate tracking via DAF Form 65 ensures:

  • Proper TWCF billing and reimbursement for services provided to DoD, non-DoD, and allied aircraft.
  • Data-driven decisions on Fleet Service manning, training, and equipment (e.g., servicing trucks, supplies).
  • Compliance with safety, contamination prevention, and operational standards (e.g., potable water sanitization every 30 days, proper lavatory fluids).
  • Support for high-tempo operations, including passenger/cargo movements, aeromedical evacuation, and contingency missions.

In an era of global mobility demands, this form helps maintain the “Fleet Service” edge—keeping aircraft mission-ready while optimizing costs and personnel.
