Flying duty codes.
There is currently a thread asking about flying training duty codes in WWII. Centaurus posted a list (copied below) of RAAF codes of the 1950s from AP3225. As my question relates to this response, which is post-war, I thought it advisable to start a new thread. I have checked my logbook for the 1960s and find some differences from those given by Centaurus, so I wonder if anyone has AP3225, or any other source, to see if these codes changed over the years. Or maybe the RAAF had a different set of codes.
To quote Centaurus:
From my RAAF Log book 16 April 1952.
Sequences of Instruction as per A.P. 3225
1. Familiarisation
2. Preparation for flight.
3. Air Experience.
4. Effects of Controls.
5. Control of aircraft on the ground.
6. Straight and level.
7. Climbing and Descending.
8. Stalling.
9. Turning.
10. Spinning,
11. Take off and climb downwind position.
12. Approach and landing.
13. First solo.
14. Consolidation Period.
15. Instrument/Weather Procedure.
16. Low flying.
17. Forced landings.
18. Aerobatics.
19. Night Flying.
20. Pilot Navigation.
21. Formation Flying.
My first few flights were 4 to 9, so that would figure. But I see that I did 10 on my 4th flight. I wonder at spinning so early. Then afterwards there was a lot of 12,13, which I recall to be circuits. My first solo was also 12,13, with no special code for that great event. 18 would figure for aerobatics. I think 22 was formation. 19 was instrument flying. 20 was night.
So does anyone have such lists? And do these codes still apply today?
Thanks, Laurence
