In SORM, which area is primarily associated with flight operations and maintenance?

• A. Administrative support
• B. Records management
• C. Direct mission support covers flight ops and maintenance.
• D. Security classifications

Answer: (C)

Direct mission support is the area that directly enables the aircraft to perform its mission. It covers flight operations and maintenance, including flight scheduling, aircrew readiness, maintenance planning and execution, and other on-deck or in-support activities that keep aircraft ready to fly. Administrative support handles administrative tasks and personnel support, records management looks after logs and documentation, and security classifications protect sensitive information. Because flight operations and maintenance are the core activities that keep the aircraft mission-ready, they fall under direct mission support.
