DD 175 Flight Plan

INSTRUMENTS FLIGHT PLANNING

CHAPTER TWO

The purpose of a flight plan is to relay your desires for a selected air route to the ATC center.

Generally, your flight plan is approved by the ATC agency exactly the way you planned it.

However, realize your route of flight, altitude, etc., may be changed by the controlling agency. It

is imperative that you correctly fill out a flight plan to avoid any delay in getting your flight

clearance approved.

The DD 175 can take several forms:

IFR Flight Plan

Stopover Flight Plan

VFR Flight Plan

Composite Flight Plan

This section covers IFR Flight Plans. You rarely file a pure VFR Flight Plan; however, you may

occasionally utilize a Composite Flight Plan. FLIP General Planning, Chapter 4 contains the

applicable instructions.
