What is a sortie?
Guys,
Sorry for the ignorent question, but what is it?
A single flight, from what I've heard?
1. So mil. pilots count flight time and sorties?
I.e. example: 200 sorties, 220 flight hours.
2. If you do touch-and-go's and/or multiple instrument approaches is it still one sortie?
3. Are all flights considered sorties, those in training a/c vs combat?
Thanks
