Flight Planning (En Route)
ITEM 15 - Should you require an ALTN AIRFIELD, select it on the basis of the criteria defined in
OPNAVINST 3710.7.
Enter the 3-letter identifier obtained from the IFR Enroute Supplement to identify the alternate airfield (use
the airport’s name if there is no location identifier). Your alternate is also listed on your jet log in the
ALTERNATE block.
ITEM 16 - In the ETE TO ALTN (estimated time en route to alternate) block, enter your planned time to fly
from your original destination to your planned alternate, at your planned altitude/flight level. Obtain this
time from your computations on the bottom of the front side of your jet log for a flight at cruising altitude/
flight level from destination IAF to alternate IAF.
ITEM 17 - The N0TAMs block is a preflight reminder to consult all NOTAMs relevant to your flight. This
includes appropriate “Supplementary Aerodrome Remarks” from AP/1. If the date time group at the top of
the hourly update and summary section has expired, obtain updated NOTAM information through Base
Ops. Enter a check mark to indicate compliance with this responsibility.
ITEM 18 - The WEATHER block is another preflight reminder to indicate that you have obtained an
adequate briefing on all weather conditions pertinent to your flight. Enter a check mark or the briefer’s
initials if you received the brief by radio or telephone or the weather briefing number if you were given one.
Normal procedure at many bases has the forecaster entering the “Flimsy Number” from the DD-175-1 and
his initials.
ITEM 19 - The WT AND BALANCE block does not pertain to tactical jet aircraft (only to aircraft
transporting passengers and/or cargo).
Enter “N/A” for not applicable.
ITEM 20 - In the AIRCRAFT SERIAL NUMBER, UNIT, AND HOME STATION block, enter the aircraft
bureau number followed by a slash (/), the unit of assignment followed by a slash (/), and the aircraft home
station 3-letter location identifier. You can obtain this information from maintenance.
EXAMPLE: 163610/TW2/NQI
Figure 12 shows a completed Section IV.
ITEM 21 - For the SIGNATURE OF APPROVAL AUTHORITY block, OPNAVINST 3710.7 authorizes the
pilot-in-command of a Naval aircraft or formation leader to approve the proposed flight plan.
ITEM 22 - Enter “N/R” in the CREW/PASSENGER LIST block because this list does not apply to tactical
jet aircraft.
