22. The name of the pilot in command must appear in the crew list. The names of all other

crew members and passengers will be entered in accordance with appropriate service

instructions. (OPNAVINST 3710.7 states that the crew members will be entered on the DD 175

and passengers will be listed on either the DD 175 or a separate passenger manifest.) For

formation flights, list crew members and passengers together by aircraft and indicate aircraft tail

number. If a passenger manifest is used, check the block "See Passenger Manifest."

Figure 4-34 Crew/Passenger List

404. STOPOVER FLIGHT PLANS

Stopover flight plans are utilized by pilots whenever stops at more than one airport are intended.

In many instances, a particular destination is too distant to reach in one flight. Therefore, it is

necessary to make one or more fueling stops in order to reach the final destination airport. The

stopover flight plan enables a pilot to fill out one DD 175 at the beginning of the flight which

will cover the entire trip. Filling out a DD 175 in this manner saves the pilot the trouble of

having to file a separate flight plan at each airport. The stopover flight plan is identical to the

"single-flight" plan, with a few exceptions.

After the initial flight, each subsequent flight must include, in parenthesis after the Destination

IAF, the "Hours of Fuel on Board," "Alternate" (if required), and the "ETE to Alternate" for that

flight.
