The TOTAL EET block on the DD form 1801 refers to which of the following?

The TOTAL EET (Estimated Elapsed Time) block on the DD form 1801 is intended to provide both IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) estimated times to destination airports. This value represents how long it is expected to take to reach a given airport under either set of rules, accommodating the needs of pilots operating in different environments.

The inclusion of both IFR and VFR times is essential for flight planning because it ensures that operators are aware of their total flight time regardless of the flight rules they may be using. This combined representation aids in maintaining situational awareness and coordination with air traffic control if operating under IFR or ensuring adherence to visual navigation during VFR.

In contrast, choices that focus solely on VFR or IFR do not encompass the comprehensive nature of the TOTAL EET, which is intended to be inclusive of any flight operation situation. Similarly, options suggesting that it includes only arrival times or specific procedures fail to capture the broader purpose of the TOTAL EET in flight planning.
