FLIGHT REQUEST

WHAT REQUESTERS SHOULD KNOW:
1) The use of any BPA owned aircraft (airplane, helicopter or sUAS) requires the requester to submit a BPA Flight Request form to Bonneville Aircraft Services (BAS). For passenger
transport, the Flight Request Form must be submitted as soon as the traveler, or Requesting Official, identifies a need to travel by air. Helicopter and BAS sUAS flight requests
are scheduled months in advance to facilitate complex scheduling requirements. For emergency requests Flight Request paper work can follow after the fact. Some common
examples of requests can be found on the BAS site. The manager of the requester should be the authorizing official for most flight requests. For Special/Emergency flights, requested
by Transmission Line Maintenance, the Foreman III of the requesting district can sign both as the requester and the authorizing official. BPA organizations, with their own UAS’s, will
be submitting a 4450.01e for situational awareness. For these flights the requester and authorizing official may be the same individual and that individual can be at the user/operator
level. For contracted UAS operations see BPA’s Contractor Safety and Health Requirements for Prime and Subcontractors.

2) BPA aircraft are used exclusively for Official use and this is further divided into “mission use” and “other travel”.
3) Mission Use - BPA aircraft have been acquired for and are primarily used to meet mission requirements. A mission requirement means activities that constitute the
discharge of our agencies official responsibilities. BPA’s published mission statement, its legal obligations and government to government relationships all define those
official responsibilities and are used to define mission flights. Therefore, any flight that directly supports activities in power supply, transmissions system, fish and wildlife
mitigation efforts and BPA’s other legal and government to government obligations are considered mission flights.

4) Other Travel – On occasion official travel falls into the category of “other official travel”. This type of travel is that which does not directly support those activities that define
mission use but are still official BPA activities.

5) All “other official travel” must cost justify (performed by TAA) and cost justification performed for “mission use” may be used to prioritize flights, if needed. If a

“other travel” Flight Request is not cost justified for the use of a government aircraft, then the requester will be notified to choose alternate travel means within 48 hours after
receiving the fully completed Flight Request Form.

6) BAS requires PII including current passenger weight, current Next of Kin, and for Canada travel current passport information. It is the traveler's responsibility to

comply with PII policies and the Privacy Act Statement of 1974. BAS maintains this sensitive information as PII in a secure database, and released only on a strict
official need-to-know basis.
7) Travel that involves Senior Federal Travelers (SES or equivalents) requires additional approval by BPA’s Senior Management Official (SMO); BAS will prepare the required
correspondence, maintain a file for five years, and submit required reports on all travel by BPA Senior Federal Travelers. Senior Federal Travelers from other agencies are required
to be reported to GSA through their agency.

8) Once a passenger transport Flight Request has been loaded into the Aircraft Services Flight Schedule a “Trip Number” will be issued to the Primary Trip Point-of-Contact (POC) by
the Aircraft Services’ Scheduler. All communications between Aircraft Services and the traveler(s) should reference the “Trip Number” to ensure effective communications and
quality control of the scheduling process.

9) Contact Aircraft Services @503.230.4100 or [email protected] if you have any questions regarding this form or travel policy aboard BPA aircraft.
