Pilot/Practice (1897-1911)
Práctico

In 1897 it was adopted a square flag for pilots after the "P" flaf of the International Signal Code. This flag flew until 1911. The following year a new Ordinance came into effect; this stated that flags were proportioned 2:3. I do ingnore the period this flag was used, but, any way the 19-Oct-2000-decree abolished it officially.
On January 1, 1954, by international agreement a new International Code of Signals came into effect. According to this agreement the Pilot's flag is divided into six yellow and blue vertical stripes.
