  Aviation Operations and Planning Resources
  A-1. Aviation operations and planning resources are found in the aviation ATPs and TCs. In preparation
  for working directly with aviation units, ATP 3-04.1 and TC 3-04.12 provide a foundation for planning,
  execution, and common checklists, forms, briefs, and products used in aviation operations.
  A-2. ATP 3-04.1 provides techniques for planning, preparation, and execution of aviation tasks. It
  provides problem-solving guidance for company-level leaders throughout Army Aviation as they plan,
  prepare, execute, and assess these tasks. It also provides considerations for expeditionary aviation
  operations. The primary audience for ATP 3-04.1 is junior leaders at brigade level and below, but it is also
  applicable to other members of the profession of arms.
  A-3. TC 3-04.12 contains support requests, forms, briefs, checklists, and documents most often used
  during aviation operations. These documents include the array of required and optional forms that assist in
  the mission planning process and used during mission execution. The Aviation Handbook is a stand-alone,
  pocket-sized document developed to rapidly consolidate operations, techniques, and supporting forms and
  checklists; these will be incorporated into ATP 3-04.1 and TC 3-04.12.
  A-4. The following are support requests, briefs, checklists, and kneeboard cards used for planning and
  execution of aviation operations and are found in TC 3-04.12 and the Aviation Handbook:

  worksheet, back-briefs, holding area operations, reconnaissance/security, EA development, and
