DA Form 2408, Equipment Log Assembly (Records) , provides a list of operational symbols, duty symbols, flight condition symbols, aircraft, and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) condition status symbols, and codes used on DA Form 2408-12, DA Form 2408-13, DA Form 2408-13-1, DA Form 2408-13-2, DA Form 2408-13-3, and other related maintenance forms.
The form is a part of a series of 40 other documents along with DA Form 2408-12, Army Aviator's Flight Record, used for recording aircraft maintenance information and flight operations.
The U.S. Department of the Army (DA) released the latest edition of the form - sometimes incorrectly referred to as DD Form 2408 - on October 1, 1997 . An up-to-date DA Form 2408 is available for download below or can be found on the Army Publishing Directorate (APD) website.
The DA 2408 provides information to assist aircrew, UAS operators, and maintenance personnel in filling out the logbook, maintenance, and historical forms, records, and files.
The codes described on DA Form 2408 are part of the Logistics Information System and appear in drop-down lists to help in completing the necessary forms and records. All flying duty symbols, mission symbols, and flight condition symbols can also be found in the Army Regulation 95-23 (for UAS) and Army Regulation 95-1 (for aircraft). The information in both Army Regulations takes precedence over the form if there is a conflict between codes.
Additional information and DA Form 2408 instructions can be found in the Department of the Army Pamphlet 738-751, Functional Users Manual for the Army Maintenance Management System - Aviation.
