A. In the case of a pilot dying before January 1, 1951, the average monthly remuneration will be calculated in accordance with the answers to Questions 36 to 39. If the pilot had credit for service before 1948, the "monthly compensation" applicable to prior service will be calculated (see the answers to Questions 18, 19, 20 and 24.) The "average monthly remuneration" will be larger of the two, except that it cannot exceed $750. For pilots dying after December 31, 1950 and for any pilot without credit for service before 1948, the procedure set forht in the answers to Questions 36 to 39 will always apply.
