Which of the following is an example of a Non-CEA air crew member?

• A. Aeromedical Evacuation Technician
• B. Flight Nurse
• C. Weather Officer
• D. Combat Camera

Answer: (A)

Non-CEA air crew members are those who ride along on aircraft to perform duties that support the mission but are not part of the primary combat/aircrew team. The Aeromedical Evacuation Technician fits this idea because the technician accompanies the aircraft to provide medical care during transport; their role is aboard to support the mission with patient care, not to operate the aircraft or fill the core aircrew functions that would be categorized under CEA.

Weather Officer isn’t typically a flight crew role at all, and Combat Camera is more about documentation rather than serving as a standard aircrew function. A Flight Nurse, while also a medical onboard role, is commonly characterized within the medical-evacuation aircrew context and can be grouped with the CEA category in many systems. So the Aeromedical Evacuation Technician is the best example of a Non-CEA air crew member.
