Review of FLIP and FAA Publications

Index For Aeronautical Information

Indicates the location by publication, or chapter in GP, of each subject of information in the FLIP

program. Cross-references are provided to assist in the location of data.

Explanation of Terms

The Terms with their accompanying definitions are taken from the FAA Pilot/Controller Glossary, plus

some ICAO and military terms. The source from which the term is taken is indicated.

FLIP Program

This chapter describes the DoD FLIP program, individual FLIP products, and related publications.

Included is a chart indicating the availability of FLIP products by geographic area.

Flight Plans

Contains detailed instructions for completing all types of military and civil flight plans, including

international flight plans.

Pilot Procedures

Contains standard pilot procedures while operating under both FAA and international (ICAO) rules. It is

divided into preflight, departure, en route, and arrival phases of flight with some supplementary

information. Contains an excellent section on the different NOTAM systems. You should become

thoroughly familiar with the contents of this section. Periodically through the year you should review this

section as a reminder of proper procedures.

International Civil Aviation Organization

The ICAO is an affiliate of the United Nations which establishes international rules and procedures for civil

aviation. U.S. military pilots are expected to conform to these rules to the maximum extent practicable.

Operations and Firings Over The High Seas

Concerns procedures to be used by U.S. military aircraft conducting air operations or gunnery exercises

within airspace over the high seas.

Aviation Weather Codes

Contains explanations of the Meteorological Aviation Report (METAR) codes used at all international

stations including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Also contains an explanation of the

Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) codes used at all U.S. and overseas stations. Some modifications

have been made to the U.S. METAR and TAF to reflect the standard measuring system (i.e., feet, statute

miles, etc.). See AIM (Chapter 7) for a full description.
