• Fuel on board is 3 + 10 for VNAV/AVX/STK/COMP flights and 4 + 00 for<br />

will be a pilot from CTW-6/NPA. Leave the name blank, unless you can figure this<br />
out by referencing a Raytheon Flight Schedule. The rest <strong>of</strong> the crew will be listed in<br />
the available rows with the mission commander designated as MC to the left <strong>of</strong> the<br />

the designation is OBS.<br />
