We classify classical linear connections A ( Γ , Λ , Θ ) on the total space Y of a fibred manifold Y M induced in a natural way by the following three objects: a general connection Γ in Y M , a classical linear connection Λ on M and a linear connection Θ in the vertical bundle V Y Y . The main result says that if dim ( M ) 3 and dim ( Y ) - dim ( M ) 3 then the natural operators A under consideration form the 17 dimensional affine space.
