GREEN CARD
I held an instrument "green" card when I was in the Navy. I know you had
to have something like 2500 hours before you took the ride for it but can't remember what else it was for. Anyone remember? Or is it still around. It's been 30+ years since I was in a squadron with pilots who held/needed green cards, but going from memory, it allowed you to sign off on your own IFR flight plans for cross-country flights using the civilian ATC system. Governing directive for USN/USMC was OPNAVINST 3710.7x [unsure of the .7, and the x would be a capital letter indicating edition. Last time I worked with that general NATOPS "bible", it was up to K or something like that.] 25-1/2 years out of the USMC, and as I said, 30+ years since I was in a squadron which had pilots holding/needing Special instrument ratings, I don't know whether it still exists, was replaced by some other system, or what. Struck out on trying to find OPNAVINST 3710.7 on the Navy website. Or any Navy directives for that matter. -- OJ III Point 7 Tango is the latest and Uniform is ready to hit the street as soon as CNAF signs off on it. Available on the Navair website if you have a dot mil address. 3710 is FOUO, so it isn't on the "open" websites. I got my last green card back in the 70s when they went away. Special Instrument ratings still exist (2000 hours and 5 years as an aviator), but you don't have to flash your card anymore!

Figured it was something like that - FOUO and needing a .mil to access. As an aside, once upon a time, in certain circles that "(we are responsible for all NATOPS manuals)" in your sig would guarantee that you'd drink alone at the O club on any MCAS/NAS you visited. ;- -- OJ III |
