Navy Flight Plan (DD Form 175) Pilots are required to file a Navy flight plan, DD Form 175, for each flight. One of the many preflight requirements listed on DD Form 175 is a check of the current and forecast weather (1) for the point of departure at takeoff, (2) enroute, and (3) at all scheduled destinations and alternates. To assist pilots in completing DD Form 175, AGs complete a DD Form 175-1. See figure 5-2-1.
Figure 5-2-1.-DD Form 175-1, Flight Weather Briefing Form. Learning Objective: Describe the contents of the DD Form 175-1, the correct precedures for completing each block, and the proper distribution of the completed form. Flight Weather Briefing Form (DD Form 175-1) The flight weather briefing form, DD Form 175-1, provides a comprehensive record of weather flight planning information for pilots and flight clearance authorities. This form should be completed with the utmost diligence and care in accordance with the policies set forth in COM-NAVOCEANINST 3140.14. A DD Form 175-1, or a locally manufactured form, is completed for all flights conducted in accordance with instrument flight rules (IFR). Locally manufactured forms are acceptable as long as they include all the information contained on the DD Form 175-1. All entries in either case must be neat and legible. If you refer back to figure 5-2-1, you will see that the DD Form 175-1 is made up of five parts, as follows: Part I Mission/Takeoff Data Part II Enroute Data Part III Terminal Forecasts Part IV Comments/Remarks Part V Briefing Record The procedures for completing each of the five parts are contained in Appendix II. FORM DISTRIBUTION AND RETEN-TION. For in-person (over-the-counter) brief-ings, the pilot receiving the brief gets the original (top copy) of the DD Form 175-1, and the issuing activity retains the carbon copy. For autographic briefings, the briefing activity retains the original. NOTE Autowriters (automatic writing machines) connect weather offices with squadrons. The forecaster writes the brief-ing data down on the autowriter, and it is automatically copied on the remote autowriter. With autowriters, pilots can receive their copy of the brief without going to the weather office. All activities issuing flight weather briefings must retain a copy of all briefings for at least 1 year. Learning Objective: Describe the contents of the Navy Flight Forecast Folder. |
