Usaf/Usn Undergraduate Pilots

JO 7110.65BB, Change 3, effective July 9, 2026 · Official text on faa.gov

To identify aircraft piloted by solo USAF/USN undergraduate student pilots (who may occasionally request revised clearances because they normally are restricted to flight in VFR conditions), the aircraft identification in the flight plan must include the letter “Z” as a suffix. Do not use this suffix, however, in ground‐to‐air communication.
