chapt. 5) BY: a. Check TAF’s-http://aviationweather.gov/adds/
b. Request DD-175-1-https://fwb.metoc.navy.mil/fwb123/ c. Check NOTAMS https://www.notams.jcs.mil 1. Selecting the lowest published minimums for an approach you can shoot, check for trouble T, and; 2. Comparing with the following: (check again once you get ATIS)
a. Standard Instrument Rated Pilot b. Precision - 200-½ but not less than published mins. c. Nonprecision - 300-1 but not less than published mins.
2. EXAMINE DESTINATION: CHECK WEATHER AND DETERMINE IF AN ALTERNATE AIRFIELD IS REQUIRED (OPNAV 3710). Additionally, read any special instructions that may be contained in the DOD FLIP. a. Check the FLIP publications for:
•Airfield Operating Hours (IFR Supp (ES) •Airfield Servicing Hours (ES) •Airfield Hazards (ES/AP1, NOTAMS) •Runway Length and location of barriers (arresting gear) (ES/Appr Plates) •Special Departure/Arrival Procedures (ES/Appr Plates/AP1) •Special Use Airspace that may impact route (GP/AP1/Enroute Charts/NOTAMS) •Availability of Emergency Airfields (Enroute Charts/ES) •Instrument Approach Availability (ES/Appr Plates/NOTAMS) •SIDS/STARS (Appr Plates/STARS Pub) •Local Operations that may affect training availability (ES/AP1/NOTAMS) •Preferred Routes (http://www.fly.faa.gov/rmt/nfdc_preferred_routes_database.jsp)
3. EXAMINE ALTERNATE: CHECK WEATHER USING THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS:
– 1. Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) DD-175-1 – 2. NAVAID/Approach Compatibility – 3. NOTAMs – 4. Approach Plate Remarks (i.e., trouble A, symbol and symbology)
• 4. RECORD AIRFIELD DATA: FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE ON THE FLIGHT LOG. – Route to Destination – Departure Airfield/Destination/Alternate elevations, frequencies, etc
• 5. DETERMINE CLIMB DATA
– RECORD WINDS AND TEMPERATURE (From TAF or DD-175-1)ON FLIGHT LOG. – Round departure airport elevation to closest 1000 – Using TAB data, subtract from cruise alt numbers. – Determine TAS (distance/time), Fuel in climb – Enter on Flight Log
• 6. DETERMINE CRUISE DATA – Interpolate between closest altitudes – Enter on Flight Log
• 7. REVIEW ROUTE OF FLIGHT: AND RECORD EACH LEG ON FLIGHT LOG.
• FIRST LEG ENTRY IS ALWAYS STTO, 1 MINUTE AND 50# FF • RECORD MAGNETIC COURSES and DISTANCES ON FLIGHT LOG
– 1. Rules for leg entries on the Flight Log: • a. NAVAID to NAVAID, on and off airways; • b. Course changes of 6º or more on Victor Airways; • c. Both ends of a direct route - anytime aircraft is not on an airway; • d. Any mandatory reporting point.
– 2. Fill in the NAVAID, frequency, magnetic course, and distance: • a. Magnetic course and distance from the departure airfield to the first fix
(INTERSECTION OR NAVAID) on an airway may be found in – 1) the Enroute Supplement in the NAVAIDs section of some airports; or, – 2) on appropriate Approach Plates as Enroute/Feeder Fixes. In the absence
of these two sources, – 3) measure the distances directly off the Low Altitude Charts and compare
to mileage scale, and use a nearby compass rose on the chart to measure the course.
• b. To determine magnetic course and distance on a direct leg:
– 3. Measure courses and distances directly off the charts. Use the compass rose for course and mileage scale for distance.

• 8. DETERMINE COMPULSORY REPORTING POINTS
– Determine compulsory reporting points for nonradar environment in the event that radar contact with ATC is lost, and mark accordingly; e.g.., Fixes are compulsory reporting points under the following circumstances:
– a. Both ends of a direct route – b. Solid triangle at a Fix
• 9. COMPUTE GROUND SPEED (GS) USING WIND SIDE OF CR-2, 3, 4, OR 5.
– 1. Using computed GS for the climb, compute the time to first fix. – 2. Three possibilities concerning your point of level-off exist:
• a. Crossing the fix at the same point and time as reaching cruise; altitude. • b. Reaching cruise altitude prior to the fix; • c. Reaching cruise altitude after crossing the first fix
– 3. In most practice problems, 2c is the case. This is referred to as a split leg; part of a leg is climb and part is cruising. Fuel flow, air speed, ground speed, distance, and time for climb and cruise must be computed for this leg.
• 10. CALCULATE ETE’S and LEG FUEL: for each leg and enter in the Flight Log – Rounding procedures: Round miles and minutes off to the nearest whole number for each
calculation (.5 or greater rounds up). Fuel: Any fraction over a pound, round up to the next 5 pounds. Example: 145.2 lbs rounds up to 150 pounds.
• 11. CALCULATE EFR and compute total: distance, ETE, and Fuel for destination and
alternate
• 12. CALCULATE FUEL REMAINING FROM DESTINATION IAF
• 13. COMPLETE “ALTERNATE, ROUTE, ALT, FUEL , AND TIME” THE DRAFT: LINE OF THE FLIGHT LOG.
• 14. COMPLETE FUEL PLAN
