The document provides detailed instructions for completing the DD Form 2400 (Civil Aircraft Certificate of Insurance), DD Form 2401 (Civil Aircraft Landing Permit), and DD Form 2402 (Civil Aircraft Hold Harmless Agreement) for obtaining a landing permit at Air Force airfields. It outlines specific requirements for each block of the forms, emphasizing accurate and complete information, insurance coverage details, and proper signatures. Key aspects include the insurer's responsibility for DD Form 2400, the aircraft owner/operator's role in DD Form 2401, and the distinction between individual and corporate requirements for DD Form 2402. The document also specifies validity periods, renewal procedures, and conditions for approval and changes to landing permits, ensuring compliance with Air Force regulations.

DD Form 2402, the Civil Aircraft Hold Harmless Agreement, is a crucial document for civil aircraft users seeking permission to operate at military airfields under PL 85-726, 49 USC Section 44502(d). By signing, the user agrees to indemnify the United States, its agencies, and personnel from all liabilities, claims, and suits arising from the use of military facilities, supplies, or services. Exceptions are made for death, injury, loss, or damage resulting solely from the willful misconduct of United States personnel or liabilities from other contracts. The user also agrees to pay for death or injury to U.S. personnel or damage to U.S. property unless solely due to U.S. negligence or willful misconduct. The agreement defines "United States personnel" and requires compliance with applicable military regulations. It replaces previous agreements and requires 60 days' written notice for termination. This form, along with DD Forms 2400 and 2401, is essential for obtaining a civil aircraft landing permit. Corporations must have two corporate officers sign, while individuals only need to complete items 2b and 4. Instructions specify submission to the appropriate military authority (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines) via provided email addresses or physical addresses.
