FLIGHT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

(condensed)

The character or kind of flight by aircraft, as required to be entered on the various flight records and reports, will be described by a NUMBER-LETTER Code as follows:






1st NUMBER --- to denote CONDITION of flight


LETTER --- to denote GENERAL PURPOSE of flight


2nd NUMBER --- to denote SPECIFIC PURPOSE of flight









No variation from the classification is to be made without Command approval, however, commands may expand, for more detailed purposes, the code number denoting a specific purpose of flight. Complete codes will be in such form as 2A7, K, 179. The pilot selects the classification best describing the flight and entries it on the flight record sheet for that flight; all subsequent flight record and report entries will reflect that selection.



















1. The Code for CONDITION OF FLIGHT (first number) shall be selected as appropriate from the following:




1 – Day Visual 3 – Night Visual



2 – Day Instrument 4 – Night Instument










Use Code 2 if over 50% of flight duration was under actual instrument conditions.









Use Code 3 if over 50% of flight duration was in darkness, unless classifiable on 4.









Use Code 4 if over 50% of flight duration was in darkness, and either (a) 50% of the flight during darkness was under actual instrument conditions or (b) final landing was in darkness and by an actual instrument approach.













Use Code 1 for all other cases.
