Flight plan flight-rules code (Item 8)
Item 8 flight-rules code (TC AIM RAC 3.15.2.1): one letter, rules intended.
| Code | Starts | Later rule changes |
|---|---|---|
| I | IFR | None, entire flight IFR |
| V | VFR | None, entire flight VFR |
| Y | IFR | One or more |
| Z | VFR | One or more |
- Y or Z: specify each rule-change point in Route (Item 15) (TC AIM RAC 3.15.2.1).
- Code shows first rule only: VFR/IFR/VFR files Z, not Y (TC AIM RAC 3.15.2.1).
Trap: coding the LAST rule flown, not the first.
