Instrument Rating Checkride Practice Test

In IFR position reports made directly to ARTCCs, the information that is not required is the type of flight plan. When pilots communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC), they need to provide essential information to ensure proper navigation and coordination. This includes their identification, current altitude or flight level, and estimated time of arrival along with the name of the next reporting point.

While the flight plan type may be helpful information, it is not mandatory for position reports. This allows ATC to maintain efficient communication and manage air traffic effectively without needing the additional detail of the flight plan type in every position report.
