Which term denotes a modification to a flight plan?

• A. Flight Plan
• B. Change Proposal
• C. Change
• D. Delay

Answer: (C)

A modification to a filed flight plan is called a change. In aviation operations, when the original plan needs updating due to weather, routing, or other factors, the crew or dispatcher issues a change to the flight plan to reflect the new details. The term change specifically denotes altering the plan itself. The original document is the flight plan, so that isn’t the modification; a delay refers to a timing postponement rather than revising the plan, and a change proposal would be the suggestion to modify rather than the modification that’s actually implemented.
