Pilots Weight and balance requirements
The PC will ensure: Four A`s
- The accuracy of computations on DD Form 365-4
- That the the DD Form 365-4 is aboard the aircraft to verify that the weight and center of gravity will remain within allowable limits for the entire flight.
- Several DD Forms 365–4 completed for other loadings also may be used to satisfy this requirement. In this case, the actual loading being verified must clearly be within the extremes of the loading shown on the DD Forms 365–4 used for verification.

Airspace
Class E
- Definition:

Airspace
Class G
Class G airspace (uncontrolled) is that portion of airspace that has not been designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace.
Rules governing VFR flight have been adopted to assist the pilot in meeting the responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.
1,200 feet or less above the surface (regardless of MSL altitude)
- Day: 1/2 SM, Clear of clouds
- Night, 1 SM, Clear of clouds.
More than 1,200 feet above the surface but less than 10,000 feet MSL
- Day: 1 SM, 500´ below, 1,000´ above, 2,000´ horizontal
- Night: 3 SM, 500´ below, 1,000´ above, 2,000´ horizontal.
More than 1,200 feet above the surface and at or above 10,000 feet MSL
- 5 SM, 1,000´below, 1,000´above, 1 SM horizontal.
VFR flight planning
SVFR minima
Aviators may file to destination within Class B,C,D and E surface area when wx conditions are forcasted >/= to the known SFVR min @ ETA + 1H
Helicopter SVFR minima:
- 1/2 mile visibility
- clear of clouds
unless a higher minimum is required at the airfield
