Type of flight: For example, general aviation, commercial, training, or military, depending on local options.
Number and type of aircraft: Including wake turbulence category for separation planning.
Equipment: Navigation, communication, and surveillance equipment on board (such as GNSS, VHF radios, transponder type).
ルートとタイミングのフィールド
ルートセクションは、目的地とそこに到達する方法を記録します:
Departure aerodrome and time: Usually given in UTC, with a standard four‑letter code where available.
Cruising speed and level: Expressed in knots or Mach and flight level or altitude, depending on local conventions.
Route: A sequence of waypoints, airways, procedures, or plain language descriptions, depending on requirements.
Destination aerodrome and total EET: Estimated elapsed time from take‑off to arrival at the destination.
Alternate aerodromes: One or more alternates in case you cannot land at the planned destination.
その他の情報と生存に関する詳細
フォームの最後の部分には通常、特別または任意のデータが記録されます。
Other information: Free‑text or coded items for special procedures, requests, or capabilities (for example, special handling, PBN capabilities, or training remarks).
Endurance: Total fuel endurance in hours and minutes.
Persons on board: Total number of people, for search and rescue purposes.
Emergency and survival equipment: Radios, dinghies, life jackets, survival kits, and aircraft color/markings.
Regulatory requirement: IFR plans are usually mandatory; VFR plans may be optional except for certain routes or airspace.
Route structure: IFR routes rely more on published procedures and minimum altitudes; VFR routes can be more flexible and visually oriented.
ATC involvement: IFR flights are typically under positive control for most or all of the route; VFR flights may receive information and traffic advisories rather than clearances, depending on airspace.
Equipment: IFR often requires more advanced navigation and communication equipment, which must be correctly coded in the flight plan.
