This United States Air Force USAF publication, Air Force Manual AFM 11-202 Volume 3 Flight Operations January 2022, provides broad guidance for aircraft operations. It is consolidated to help aviators to identify and synthesize potentially applicable standards and procedures, and to understand application and waiver authority.
This manual consolidates guidance for pilots, such as found in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Department of Defense (DoD) Directives and Instructions, and other USAF guidance for pilots. Differences between USAF and FAA aviation information are provided in this manual.
This manual provides broad guidance for Air Force flying under most circumstances. Pilots should exercise sound judgment to safely conduct flying operations if something is not expressly prohibited in this manual. The intended audience for this manual is winged, post-undergraduate pilot training USAF pilots.
