INSTRUMENTS FLIGHT PLANNING

CHAPTER TWO

Remarks, Rank/Honor

On an ordinary IFR Flight Plan, with the exception of the previously explained "REQUEST

RADAR DEPARTURE," the REMARKS section also includes clarification of your intentions,

serving requirements, etc. as pertaining to your flight. The RANK/HONOR block permits you to

alert your destination aerodrome that a VIP is aboard. Through the use of codes, you can relay

information to the aerodrome officials regarding that person and his/her wishes upon arrival.

The use of these blocks is covered in FLIP General Planning, Chapter 4.

Fuel On Board

The entry varies from aircraft to aircraft and depends on the aircraft mission profile.

A T-34C/T-6A with a full load can last 3+00 hours unless on a low level flight. A T-1 can last

4+10 for INAV and 3+30 for VNAV.
