ASIS Temporarily Disabled
Until further notice, the AAS-SW Information System (ASIS) has been disabled. Unfortunately, there are problems with the system that have resulted in errors when used to determine dues submissions, resulting in a number of units that have provided incomplete dues submissions to EMC. Hopefully, this feature can be re-enabled in future after the problems have been corrected and fully tested.
In the meantime, please revert back to submitting dues and renewals using the normal forms-based processes for both AAS and SW.
JPM-1 and Forms Updated
The 2006 version of the JPM-1 Joint Protocol Manual is now available for download. The Equipment Order Forms (Form 3) for Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings have been updated.
