Flight Lieutenant

Flight Lieutenant is a military rank that represents an under-, or junior, officer of commission. This rank, and its derivatives, are often the second tier of commission in most militaries.

In Imperial Service
A Flight Lieutenant in the Imperial Starfighter Corps was usually delegated more authority than its counterpart in the Navy; a Flight Lieutenant was usually a squadron's executive officer, or in rare cases, the commanding officer. Usually a Flight Lieutenant was responsible for a single flight in a squadron, but also could be an aid to a senior officer.

A Flight Lieutenant was the equivalent to a Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy.
