Question 1

Fuel Purchases & Flight Packets

Answer 1

Because the cost of fuel from non-contract commercial sources is considerably higher than that from military or
contract sources, unit commanders and pilots in command shall make every effort to purchase fuel from military or government contract sources. Navy and Marine Corps flight personnel are not authorized to purchase aircraft
fuel/oil from other than military or government contract sources except when one of the following apply:
1. Mission requirements dictated stopping at a facility without military or contract fuel sources.
2. The flight terminated as the result of an emergency.
3. The flight terminated at an alternate airport in lieu of filed destination.

Question 2

Authorized Airfields

Answer 2

1. Naval aircraft are authorized to operate at and land at all U.S. military and joint civil-military airfields.
   When planning to operate at other than home airfields, local training airfields or OLFs, pilots in command
   shall ensure that they are aware of and meet airfield operating requirements and, when necessary, have
   satisfied PPR requirements. PPRs need not be obtained for planned alternate fields or emergency divert
   airfields.
2. When returning to the United States from abroad, pilots in command shall ensure that they will able to
   satisfy U.S. Customs Service clearance requirements at their point of entry airfield.

Civilian Airfields
Naval aircraft are permitted to operate at civilian airfields listed in the DoD Enroute Supplement or appropriate
FAA publications when such operations contribute to mission accomplishment, add value to training, or are
otherwise in the interests of the government and taxpayer. Pilots in command and other authorizing officials should
consider the issues set forth in Paragraph 3.12 of this instruction when planning operations at civilian airfields.
Civilian airfields shall not be used for RON unless required for mission accomplishment. In such cases, approval
by the appropriate Wing/Group Commander is required. RON is authorized if required for aircraft maintenance or
following an emergency divert.

Question 3

Aircraft Security, Servicing, and Handling

Answer 3

Unit commanding officers shall ensure that appropriate security and force protection plans can be implemented
whenever an aircraft is left unattended away from its home field. Wing/Group Commanders shall only authorize
planned RON stops at civilian airfields if the security and force protection requirements set forth in applicable
directives can be satisfied.

economically substituted
2. Flights for any officer or group of officers, the sole purpose of which is the convenience and/or prestige of
the officers concerned and not the performance of official duties or accomplishment of bona fide training
3. Repeated flights to the hometown area of flight personnel concerned
4. Flights coinciding with major sports events or civic celebrations.
