The above example is a display of the first page of my July DFAP.  Notice the numbers in the CERT# column.  Those are the specific codes which relate to each type of line and/or payment activity. See below for the codes.

There are many things you can do to improve your paycheck.  But most importantly, you should be checking this screen often.  Check it at least once or twice after every single trip and become familiar with reading the assignments, as well as how the payroll department records the flight details.  And don't forget to become familiar with your contract.

Remember that your DFAP is always a 'work in progress'.  The Payroll Department can make many changes to your DFAP between now and the time you actually get paid.  This is why it is important to check it often so that you can keep track of exactly what's going on.

You should also collect your MONTHLY FLIGHT TIME RECORD at the domicile.  This is the final version of how the Payroll Department computed your paycheck, and is displayed on one sheet of paper per month.  Each domicile keeps them in a different place; ask the coordinator for your copy.
