Civil Aircraft Pilots
FAR Part 91 states that each person operating a civil aircraft of U S. registry over the high seas shall comply with
Annex 2 to the Convention of International Civil Aviation, International Standards - Rules of the Air. Annex 2 requires
the submission of a flight plan containing items 1-1 9 prior to operating any flight across international waters. 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).
International briefing information may not be current or complete. Data should be secured, at the first
opportunity, from the country in whose airspace the flight will be conducted.
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
