| Definition | Information that does not easily fit into the formatted portion of the ATO, yet necessary for the complete understanding of the missions to be flown, is included in a free text portion of the ATO called the Special Instructions. This method is used to provide units with a wide range of information from communications to tanker missions, to changes in ROE. |
