[MilCom] QUESTION CUTTY

[Mike Riffle]

A Google search for "military callsign z suffix" found the following page
from the FAA 7110.65 publication:

2-3-6. USAF/USN UNDERGRADUATE PILOTS

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 shall include the letter "Z" as a suffix. Do not use this
suffix, however, in ground-to-air communication.

NOTE-
USAF solo students who have passed an instrument certification check may
penetrate cloud layers in climb or descent only. Requests for revised
clearances to avoid clouds in level flight can still be expected. This does
not change the requirement to use the letter "Z" as a suffix to the aircraft
identification.

REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Aircraft Identification, Para 2-4-20.
FAAO 7610.4, Chapter 12, Section 10, USAF Undergraduate Flying Training
(UFT)/Pilot Instructor Training (PIT).


BTW, there are quite a few solo student pilots out and about today!
