International Flight Plan Form

There’s quite a bit of paperwork involved in the airline business. You ask “during the flight” but I’ll expand a bit, going through a typical flight from signing on to signing off. Come along.We show up at dispatch where a flight plan package is normally waiting for us. Sign a form that confirms you’re current and have the correct licenses (specific to our Civil Aviation Administration I think, since I don't have to sign it in other places), then after having gone through the flight plan package sign for acceptance of dispatch with that load (legal requirements but in other airlines we had to sign the flight plan itself so the method is company specific). Sign next to your name on a copy of the General Declaration, an official form that lists the crew of a flight (Company specific). For flights to China we have to also sign a form that has our passport numbers on it, to be handed over to staff on arrival there (China flights specific).The flight plan package is the reason pilots show up early for a flight as it can be a lengthy matter in itself, especially for long flights; it contains:The to be signed dispatch release form (Company requirement).The weather briefing of at the very least the departure, arrival and destination alternate airport and enroute alternates if required to support the operation. A lot more relevant enroute alternates are included but not strictly necessary. (legal requirement)The NOTAMS of all relevant airports [NOTAM - Wikipedia, NOTAMS are NOtices To AirMen that list unserviceable equipment, airport works, adjusted procedures, etc…] (legal requirement).Weather charts of enroute weather, with the position of jetstreams, the predicted areas of icing and turbulence if signNow, charts with winds enroute (legal requirements).A chart with the route plotted out for EDTO flights or long flights [EDTO or ETOPS operations need enroute airports to support flying further than an hour away from a diversion option] (legal requirement).A form that lists the MEL items if the plane has them; not strictly necessary but nice of the airline to inform us before going on board so we can plan more efficiently (company specific). [MEL or Minimum Equipment List items are items that are inoperative or considered inoperative on the airplane but don't prevent the airplane from being airworthy. Depending on the item there may be specific procedures to take into account.]The actual flight plan which has on it: the load, the fuel planning details, the filed flight plan with Air Traffic Control or ATC, the flight log details at every waypoint enroute, the winds at every waypoint at different levels, and the fuel log. It is especially the flight log and fuel log here that have to continuously be updated and followed during the flight later on. (Legal requirements). If PNRs (points of no return), fuel critical points or EDTO/ETOPS airports and equitime points are used, those are listed as well.A form that specifies that GPS signals will be available around the time of arrival at the destination, relevant for navigation based on GPS. (Legal requirement unless on board equipment can predict it).A fuel prediction form with graphs and numbers that give us a statistical idea about how much fuel the flight uses, to assist with efficient fuel planning (company specific).Any other relevant information for the flight, for example about delays in China or other flights that use the same route at busy periods… (company specific)Once that’s reviewed, done and signed we go to the airplane. Depending on where we are we may have to sign or fill out immigration forms to go airside.When we get on the plane there will be several people waiting for us: engineers/mechanics that take care of the technical stuff on the airplane, a load controller who oversees the loading and boarding of the plane, and a refueler who wants to know how much Jet A1 kerosine he can sell us today. Give that man a filled out form - not yet signed - with a standby fuel figure; we will finalize the last three to five tons of fuel at the end but he needs to start now to get it all on on time. Then have a look in the technical log or maintenance log that the engineer/mechanic gives you: is the airplane released for flight yet? If not: what are they still working on? Go through that log and note all the specifical technical issues of the airplane. If there are any MEL items then go through that book now. Everything ok? Sign the technical log which states that you accept it for flight (legal document). Then tell the load controller he can start boarding when the cabin is ready. Catering and cleaning is not our concern; the cabin crew sign for that.While we set up the cockpit and program the flight, some people will interrupt us. Betty the flight attendant brings us coffee so she’s never disliked, but load controllers can bare bad news about delays. Ground staff may bring us a NOTOC [NOtification TO Captain, a form that lists dangerous goods or special cargo, its associated procedures and where exactly it's loaded]. Sign that NOTOC and leave a copy (legal requirement). At some point load control tells us the final weight and passenger number; that’s when we calculate how much fuel more or how much less than foreseen we can take. Let the fueler know so he can go home. Before he does that though, he brings the fuel receipt which the number crunchers of the airline need to keep their computers busy. Now sign all those fuel receipts and forms (company requirements).When the loading is complete and the passengers are on board, the load controller tells us that good news and confirms with us that we have the correct loadsheet, which details all things related to weight and balance. Do I need to say it? Sign the final version of that loadsheet.Doors can be closed now that we have signed so many forms that any lawyer will have a field day with us if something goes wrong. Now we’ll put our special pen away and concentrate on flying for awhile. As a general rule there will be no paperwork until we signNow the cruise level.Once in cruise the pilot in us has to make way for the bureaucrat in us again. If you chose to be the pilot flying the sector, you’re in luck as it's normally the other pilot who will playing your secretary then. Normally we switch roles on the return sector so there’s no escape. The time to do the flight plan/fuel log has dawned upon us. Add all the times so you'll know when exactly - to the minute - we’ll be overflying all the waypoints along our route and then write every half hour (Airbus procedure) or every hour (legal procedure) how much you're up or down on fuel burn. In other airlines I worked we could just snapshot time updates overhead points along the route but here our Civil Aviation Department is stricter and requires it to be done over every single point. So go ahead and make up some that you missed already: fill out the exact time overhead every waypoint we pass. (All legal requirements.). Time updates allow us to analyse if we're making up delays or if we can have a few extra minutes in the bar on arrival. Fuel updates are a way to detect leaks and plan for arrival contingencies.If we're flying to India then somewhere along the route the purser will come in with a little book of questions for us. Time to accept that you are going to the most bureaucratic place on the third rock from the sun. Indian customs will want to know on arrival what electronic devices you have with you, phones, laptops, cameras, tablets, vibrators, what jewels, their brand and value… and the one that always gets me to count: how much money you have on you. Don't mention that you have leftover rupees from last time you were here since it's illegal to import/export the currency. Now be careful! Don't sign yet! It’s of the utmost importance to confirm whether you will have to sign beforehand and get the angry “Why haven't you signed here”-look from customs or whether you get the “How do I know you are really you unless you sign while I see you do it”-look from other customs officers. If you don't want to spend another hour in the airport after arrival because an officer has to call his manager who has to call his manager in return, who has to probably go up the chain all the way to the Prime Minister, then please make sure you’ve got this right. Obviously there have to be something like 3 or 4 signatures of yours in various places for Indian customs at some point.If nothing interesting happened during the flight, then all paperwork that remains to be completed on arrival are the technical log of the airplane and an administrative report to the airline. The administrative report determines how much we get paid at the end of the month because apart from things like who did the landing or whether an autoland was satisfactory, and apart from the reason we made up for the delay - usually if vague we blame ATC, that should be obvious by now -, it contains our duty times. Sign the administrative report of the flight (company specific).Finally write what's wrong with the airplane in the technical log. Note the arrival fuel in there as well, especially if you fly to seedy places in Africa where overnight they may defuel you, only to sell you back your own fuel the next day. Then… yeah you’ve got it by now… sign the tech log. (Legal requirement)But… if something happened during the flight we’ll be spending some more time behind the pen. ASRs or Air Safety Reports are written - and of course signed - if there was any safety related incident or if we deem that others should be alarmed about something. There are a number of other forms for various other things that could have happened, like Engine Vibration Reports, Airframe Vibration Reports, Severe Reset Reports, Commander’s Discretion Reports, ASR-Fatigue reports, yada yada yada… but I won't expand on these here anymore.Some of these reports are electronic, especially on the newer A350 airplanes, and require an electronic signature.

One day many years ago, I was walking home from high school, when I saw a frail, elderly woman carrying heavy bags of groceries.She was humpbacked and looked exhausted.I ran to help her, and carried the groceries to her house.As I walked up the steps to the front door, I became aware of the dilapidated condition of the house.The front steps were not safe to walk on!The dear woman invited me inside for tea.The living room was very clean, but the carpet and furniture were old and threadbare.Miss Muriel Carter had been subsisting in this ramshackled place for many years.As I was drinking my tea, she excused herself to “warm up the place”.Donning an apron, Miss Carter opened the door to the basement, and proceeded to make her way down a steep flight of stairs.When I asked if I could help her, she allowed me to follow her.The house was heated with a coal furnace.This required frequent trips downstairs to empty out the ashes and add a fresh supply of coal.My heart was aching for this poor woman as I opened the door to the furnace and scooped out the ashes and soot into a metal bin.After filling a scuttle with coal, I refuelled the furnace and let Miss Carter finish the task.Once we were back in the living room, I discreetly asked the elderly woman about her life.Miss Carter shared her incredible life story.Her parents had been wealthy, and she had a privileged childhood.When Muriel Carter was eighteen, she met the man of her dreams.After a whirlwind courtship, her beau asked her to marry him.This was the happiest time of Miss Carter's life!Then tragedy struck.Muriel Carter's fiancé was killed in an accident.Consumed with grief, she became a recluse at her parents’ house.Soon after, misfortune struck again when her father died.However, the biggest shock was still to come.When Miss Carter and her mother began to plan Mr. Carter's funeral, they made a horrifying discovery.He had gambled away his fortune!They were left owing money.Muriel Carter had to get a job.She mustered her courage and went to work as a sales clerk in a department store.Miss Carter supported her mother for many years.She told me that she actually enjoyed getting out of the apartment and working with people.One day Muriel came home and found her mother lying on the floor.She had been sick and had succumbed to pneumonia.So now Muriel, an only child, was alone.The aging spinster decided to rent a house and take in boarders to make ends meet.We were sitting in the boarding house Muriel had lived in for many years.Some of the boarders had been young women entering the work force for the first time.Most of them treated her well and were good company.Some male boarders had been violent.One had physically attacked her, giving her a black eye and bruising her arms.I couldn't bear to hear any more.I was going to help Miss Carter.As soon as I got home I related everything to my mother and grandmother.The following day, as soon as school was out, I went to City Hall.I was only seventeen years old.I headed for the city's housing department, where I was given a form to fill out.There was a long waiting list for senior's housing.I remembered that one of my uncles knew a city official, so I went to see the commissioner of public works.His receptionist told him that a “school girl” wanted to talk to him.To my utter amazement I found myself sitting across from the commissioner!After mentioning my uncle (whom the commissioner acknowledged), I told him everything, making it very clear that this frail elderly woman was in danger.She could fall down the basement stairs, or her attacker could come back.Apparently I was convincing.The commissioner agreed to meet me outside of Miss Carter's house the following day.As soon as he saw the rickety front stairs he became concerned.The three of us had a cup of tea in the old woman's living room.The commissioner went down to the basement.When he came back into the living room, he told Miss Carter that he couldn't make any promises, but he would see what he could do to get her out of there.He wrote down my phone number and went back to work.The following week when I got home from school, my grandmother told me that the commissioner wanted me to call his office.Muriel had a new place to live!My mother and I packed up her place and my uncles moved her into her freshly painted senior's apartment!My family bought her a TV and new curtains and slipcovers for her furniture.We had a party to celebrate her new home!Muriel settled into her cozy and safe abode.She became a dearly loved member of my family.Miss Muriel Carter never spent another Christmas alone.Rest in peace, beautiful Muriel.

My favorite hotel service experience was the one where the hotel staff actually turned a negative experience into an incredible positive.I was staying 2 nights at the Aloft Downtown Chicago on business. On the first morning, I went to iron a dress for my meetings. The minute I put the iron on the dress, I realized the protective coating on the iron was melting and it immediately put a sticky stain on a beautiful silk Theory dress.I brought the dress to the front desk and told them what happened. They apologized and told me they’d have it cleaned while I was at work that day.When I returned to the hotel, they had indeed had it cleaned but sadly the iron had left burn marks that couldn’t be removed. The staff had checked the dress on return and, realizing this, had found already found an identical replacement. To take it a step further, Theory was no longer selling the dress, but they had found one online in my size and color at a department store. It was not in the Chicago so they had it express delivered to my apartment in New York City - it was waiting for me when I got home from my trip.That dress cost more than my 2 night stay at that hotel.Perhaps the iron WAS the hotel’s fault and they WERE liable, but they went out of their way without so much as a complaint from me and it absolutely made my day. I’ve told so many people this story and recommend that Aloft every time someone tells me they are headed to Chicago. Doesn’t hurt that it is also home to my all-time favorite hotel cafe and restaurant (Beatrix).

How to be amazing at everything you do, and make amazing possible.This recipe for success comes from Elon Musk. It is the most hardcore recipe, and is certainly nowhere close to be called “easy”, but if one was to follow this, they would beat anyone and everyone around them. One would solve the best problems of all times and would walk an entirely different pathway to success. The formula sounds simple – work 14-16 hours a day. But this is the most difficult formula of all times. There is absolutely no beating around the bush. Period.Below are the barriers one would hit as they would attempt this recipe for success.The first barrier one hits is ~ BiologicalThe pain of working more hours in a day does not go up linearly with time. It goes up exponentially with time. Elon Musk admits this himself, but he keeps going. For a normal person, this is not impossible but it is certainly extremely difficult. You are not just testing your physical capabilities, but also mental capabilities, emotional capabilities to handle stress for those long hours, and more than that you are separating yourself from friends and family. There is even a saying in the startup world ~ Want to run a successful startup? Work, Sleep, Family, fitness or Friends: Choose any three.Biologically, this is achievable. Think about the times when you are partying with friends. You can be awake for long hours without feeling bad about it. You certainly would be a little tired later, but you easily pull it off. The reason is not that the activities don’t require physical work, or mental work, but it is because you “love” to do those activities. The reason you don’t want to work for 16 hours a day is because you do not love your work.Elon loves his work, and he tells this formula.Practice managing cortisol: The second aspect of this is that when you are with friends, your body gets a rush of serotonin whereas when you are at work, your body gets a rush of cortisol. To adapt biologically to achieve anything that has to do with ~ 16 hours of work per day, one has to embrace a very good response about cortisol rush.Look to the solution:And there is a hard but possible way to do it. No matter what the situation is, you have to look at the situation from the point of view of engineering problem, and deriving an engineering solution.If you were given the same problem to solve when you had all the time in the world, vs when you have been given the task to solve when you have only an hour to solve it the difference would be that the latter builds stress – sometimes an enormous amount of stress.Calibrate each task: Learn to get more efficient at embracing stress. To do this, “calibrate each task”. Think about a simple situation: You head out of your home to catch a flight, and you are stuck in traffic. Your stress level increases very quickly. If you were to calibrate this, and say – no matter what the traffic conditions are, no matter what the weather is – the journey to the airport from my home takes ~ 35 mins. Then if you take ~ 55 minutes in hands and travel accordingly you cannot be stressed out.Do not stress: Most efficient people do not stress about a problem. They just identify it quickly, plan a good solution, and work on the solution. Their stress level remains low enough, and therefore they are able to make this a habit.Do not let others get stressed out: When one person in the team panics, many others panic. It is very important to keep a very cool temperament when stressful situations arise. If a soccer team coordinates well, while keeping a cool temperament, they can win a match with one fewer player. But if one player demoralizes the whole team, they would never win a match.The best of the best team players, do not lose temper, and do not let others lose their temper too.Simple answer: Calibrate. Keep cool. Practice. Do not stress.The second barrier one would hit is ergonomic barrier:Probably there are still a lot of safety and ergonomic caveats that must be thought about while working 16 hours a day.Elon doesn’t mention his formula, but it is clear that he takes care of this.Take enough breaks, drink enough water, eat balanced diet, and do not just eat anything and everything.Take at least 7 hours of sleep, and if possible, try to put at least 15 to 30 minutes in workout.Make every activity ergonomically correct. Marathons are not ran with incorrect shoes, or incorrect stepping. Correct those first, then build your way upward.Simple answer: Be fit, take rest, and exercise.The third barrier one would hit is ~ psychological:This barrier simply means that you would be faced with situations where you are doing what you are not liking, and it becomes very hard to work on it. There is probably no way around it but to approach this problem systematically. There exist systematic steps one must take to resolve the problems.Elon’s formula is ~ Love your work. If you are constantly on a hot seat, and you are the root-cause behind every problem, something is not right, and you must make a change.Make your work likable: If your work was your favorite thing to do, you could do it endlessly. Think about your favorite activity to do, which can be making a painting, playing piano, shopping, and so on. If the activity is fun, you can do it for long hours.Automate: To make work fun, make the tasks you do not like easy to do, and as brainless as possible, so that a computer program can do them.Train and delegate: Often, there is a bucket of work to be done, but one might like only a few things out of the bucket, whereas someone in your group may be a person who is capable of taking care of the other things. It is often better to sort the buckets first and divide the tasks so that there is a one to one match between personal choices and tasks.You are your own savior: Your supervisor will not do this for you. Some supervisors are very capable of doing this, and will do it too, but all in all, you are the best judge of your own problems and you must solve those yourself.Simple answer: like your work, and make it better yourself.The forth barrier one hits is boredom:No matter what you do, and no matter how much you like to do it, if you are only doing menial tasks, then you would certainly get bored of them in long run. You must continually work on things that improve your work.Elon’s formula is - Always focus on signal vs noise.Signal vs noise: When you work on signal, that is, the problem which will solve bigger issues, you would always have better problems to work on, and better temperament to solve them. Those who have interesting problems to work on never get bored, and continue to work on them nonstop.A simple example could be this: Customers come to my shop, and I make them fill up a form.Because they need constant assistance, I have to work hard to keep up with them.Can I build an electronic form so that when they book an appointment with me – they can already fill up this form? If the answer to this question is yes, this is like working on a signal. Whereas assisting each customer to fill up every detail on the form one after the other is like working on the noise.Soon when your customers get trained to fill up the form, and fill them up accurately, you would have to do less and less of this noisy work.Simple answer: Focus on signal vs noise.The fifth barrier one would hit is the core:What usually happens is that the most interesting problems to solve are actually the ones that need scientific thinking and are the hardest problems to solve. But those people who have enormous patience to solve them, acumen enough and time enough in their hands are the ones who learn the physics, and solve them.Elon’s formula is - build things upwards based off the deepest and simplest physics concepts.Often times, most people think from analogies and try to build solutions that are analogous to solutions to the existing problems. If one thinks from the very basics, probably better solutions are possible. There is absolutely no doubt about this, and if one thinks from the basics, tries and experiments with the deepest possibilities, and explores more and more, one would fail more, but each failure will bring a new learning, and leach new learning will bring a better solution.The reality is that most people do not dive deep into the manuals, and are always struggling to solve the problems. The most hardcore people do not just dive deep into the manuals, they write them. They are the ones who define how problems are solved and how to best approach them. Therefore they are the ones who become like Elon Musk.Simple answer is: Learn continually, ask deep questions and work hard on finding right solutions.I believed in this recipe for success, and tried it for many months and I know it works. It is not easy, but it is not impossible. I have made others believe in this recipe for success. And they have made it possible for me to believe in the belief.Stay blessed, and stay inspired!

If a real Marine was on a real secret mission, he wouldn’t be telling you that he was.

It was August 2009. I asked my wife to web check-in for my kingfisher flight from Ahmedabad to Delhi around 1 pm. I specifically asked her to pick front row seats. 1A or something like that. She somehow booked A1 which is business class seat without any extra charge.When I signNowed counter and asked for my boarding card, a air hostess not only gave me my boarding pass but also directed me to business class lounge type room near security check in.I was single person in it and they called their airport transport (Innova car) for me. I boarded the flight and was given Maharaj style treatment.There were 4 seats in business class, I was the only occupant in that segment.I had my heart in my mouth all the time during boarding and asked many times to FA that how much I have to pay extra for business class? She always replied no sir. It's all complimentary.That was one of the most luxurious flight. I brought the ticket at Rs 950 from kingfisher website in some promotional sale.Still looking for those days and always asked my wife to web check-in after that.Edit 1: 1700 plus upvotes and counting…great. Never thought I will get so many upvotes. Thanks.Edit 2: political comments not welcomeEdit 3: comment by poornachander is hilarious. A special million thanks for his joke.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed.
