T-44 Flight Planning Problem Gouge
0. RTFQ! ! !
1. Locate departure, destination , alternates in
IFR charts, approach plates, IFR sup, and area charts if necessary
2. Check Wx for departure, destination and alternate:
-
IF for an ETA +/- 1 hour THEN…
-
Destination is greater than 3,000 and 3 miles
-
Destination is above mins but less than 3,000 and 3 miles Alternate must
be:
-
mins plus 200 and ½ (precision)
-
mins plus 300 and 1 (non-precision)
-
Destination is below mins Alternate must be
3. Pick alternate based on weather, AnA, and available approach
4. Read about departure/destination/alternate in IFR sup.
¡Read it carefully, highlight important data!
5. Transcribe departure/destination/alternate info to log
(Including TTC Etc.)
6. Plot route and generate estimate of enroute/alternate
distance and time
7. Determine and enter actual routes including CUS, distance,
frequencies, and other important data about the route.
8. Locate and mark compulsory and other reporting points
9. Calculate wind corrected ground speed and ETE (Don’t
forget variation for true to magnetic!)
10. Calculate leg fuel and EFR
11. Sum distance, ETE, fuel
12. Compute fuel plan (1+2+3)=9 (4+5+6)=11 (Remember 10% Or 20
minutes max endurance for reserve.)
13. Fill in flight plan (Don’t duplicate V## or use
D)
(+10 minutes for ETE to alternate)
(include appropriate remarks)
CHECK TOTALS WITH ESTIMATES.
DOES IT MAKE SENSE?!
Other: Fuel On Board is usually given, All CTW-4 T44’s Are T44/R
