(2) Within one hour after landing.

(3) Within 24 hours after the expiration of the estimated duration of the flight specified in the flight itinerary.

(4) As soon as practicable after landing but no later than 24 hours after the last reported ETA.

9.07 With regard to a flight itinerary, the "responsible person" means someone who

9.09

Estimated elapsed time A to B

1 hour 15 minutes.



Estimated stopover time at B

30 minutes.



Estimated elapsed time B to C

1 hour 20 minutes.

Using the above information, what time should be entered in the "Elapsed Time" box of a VFR flight plan?

(1) 3 hours 50 minutes.

(2) 3 hours 20 minutes.

(3) 3 hours 05 minutes.

(4) 2 hours 35 minutes.

9.10 When filing a VFR flight plan with an intermediate stop, the total elapsed time to be entered is the total

(1) elapsed time for all legs including the duration of the intermediate stop.

(2) elapsed time for all legs, plus the intermediate stop, plus 45 minutes.

(3) flight time for all legs.

(4) elapsed time to the first landing plus intermediate stops.

9.11 How is an intermediate stop indicated on the flight plan form for a VFR flight?

(1) By including duration of the intermediate stop in "Elapsed Time" box as ATC automatically checks time between points.

(2) Same as any VFR flight plan if the intermediate time does not exceed 30 minutes at each point.

(3) By repeating the name of intermediate stop and its duration in the "Route" column.

(4) By simply indicating "Intermediate Stop" in "Other Information" column.
