rules (VFR) per AR 95-1,
applicable Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)/host-nation
regulations, local regulations, and
standing operating procedures (SOPs).
3. Determine the departure, en route, and destination procedures.
4. Select route(s) and altitudes that avoid hazardous weather
conditions; do not exceed aircraft
or equipment limitations, and conform to VFR cruising altitudes per
Department of Defense flight
information publication (DOD FLIP).

4. Select route(s) and altitudes that avoid hazardous weather
conditions, do not exceed aircraft
or equipment limitations, and conform to IFR cruising altitudes per
Department of Defense flight
information publication (DOD FLIP).
5. If off airway, determine the course(s) ±5 degrees.
6. Select an approach that is compatible with the weather, approach
facilities, and aircraft
equipment; determine if an alternate airfield is required.
7. Determine distance ±1 nautical mile, true airspeed ±5 knots,
ground speed ±5 knots, and
estimated time en route (ETE) ±1 minutes for each leg of the flight.
