CIVIL AIRCRAFT PILOTS. FAR Part 91 requires you file an IFR flight plan to operate under instrument flight rules in
controlled airspace. Failure to file could result in a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each violation (Section 901 of the
Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended). Filing of a VFR flight plan is recommended as a good operating practice. See
also Part 99 for requirements concerning DVFR flight plans.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: Flight Plan information is collected for the protection and identification of
aircraft and property and persons on the ground. Air Traffic uses the information to provide control services and
search and rescue services. An individual respondent would require about 2.5 minutes to provide the information.
FAR Part 91 requires an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan to operate under IFR in controlled airspace. Filing a
Visual Flight Rules flight plan is recommended but not mandatory. It is FAA policy to make factual information
available to persons properly and directly concerned except information held confidential for good cause, i.e., pilot's
address/telephone number. All flight plan data is destroyed when 15 days old except for data retained due to an
accident/incident investigation. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number associated
with this collection is 2120-0026. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the
burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, ABA-20
