Non-Routine Flight Operations (NRFO) Non-Routine flight operations are defined as operations and procedures that require special procedures and operations not found in the normal flight operations profile. They are classified into two categories; NRFO II and NRFO III. All flight crewmembers upon completion of initial Baltia training are qualified as NRFO II. Additional training is required to attain a NRFO III qualification. AOM V1 28.26, FOM 12.35 Non-Routine flight operations are defined as operations and procedures that require special procedures and operations not found in the normal flight operations profile. They are classified into two categories, NRFO II and NRFO III. Together, these operations include maintenance acceptance check flights, spare engine carriage, gear down ferry, and engine inoperative ferry. All flight crewmembers upon completion of initial Baltia training are qualified as NRFO II. Additional training is required to attain a NRFO III qualification.

All qualified crewmembers are categorized as NRFO II qualified. NRFO II Operations NRFO II Operations include: Maintenance Acceptance Check Flight Landing Gear Extended Flights This NRFO qualification is achieved by attending a 1 hour familiarization course during Baltia Basic Indoctrination. All qualified crewmembers are categorized as NRFO II qualified. AOM V1 28.27 Types of NRFO II Operations 1) Maintenance Acceptance Check Flight 2) Flight With Landing Gear Extended
