Where are officer ranks placed on the flight cap when worn?

• A. Left side when worn
• B. 1 ½ inches from the front of the cap
• C. Centered from top to bottom
• D. On the back edge of the cap

Answer: (A)

On the flight cap, officer rank insignia is placed on the left side when worn. This position keeps the front of the cap clear for any branch or unit emblem and makes the rank easy to read from the wearer's left when facing others, promoting a clean, uniform appearance. Placing insignia on the back edge or centered vertically would obscure visibility or disrupt the standard cap layout, while putting it in the front center would clash with the cap’s emblem or look awkward.
