Regular partial conical flocks (Q1900900)

Partial conical flocks in \(\text{PG} (3,q)\) are partial flocks of deficiency 1 on which there is a linear group that acts regularly on the \((q -1)\) conics of the partial flock. Payne and Thas have shown that every partial flock of deficiency 1 is uniquely extended to a flock of a quadratic cone. In the paper under review, a classification of the partial conical flocks is obtained via the equations of the planes containing the conics of the flock.
