practice, and review of any individual maneuver is authorized,
provided these maneuvers are briefed prior to the flight.

introduced maneuvers frequently enough to ensure required
proficiency is maintained.

execute missions to meet H/X as closely as practical. If actual
sortie length varies from H/X by more than 0.3 hrs, annotate
reason(s) in ITF's general comment section.
