The FLIP GP document provides information about what?

The FLIP GP document provides information about what?

• A. Maximum holding speeds, holding patterns, and how controllers will issue holding instructions
• B. Airport lighting intensity and frequencies
• C. Aircraft performance data and weights
• D. Weather minimums for takeoff and landing

Answer: (A)

FLIP GP contains planning data for IFR operations, including how holds are normally planned and executed. It provides the maximum holding speeds tied to altitude ranges, the standard holding patterns associated with published fixes, and how air traffic control will issue holding instructions. This combination helps you plan if a hold is required, estimate timing and fuel, and understand what ATC will expect you to do when you’re told to hold or when a hold is published for procedure turns or en route delays. Other topics aren’t covered in FLIP GP. Details about airport lighting intensity and frequencies belong to other airport data publications, not this planning guide. Aircraft performance data and weights come from the aircraft’s flight manual or performance data, not FLIP GP. Weather minimums for takeoff and landing are addressed in separate takeoff/minimums and weather minimums publications rather than in FLIP GP.
