NAVIGATION AND FLIGHT PLANNING Objective: To teach the student the proper procedures and technique for piloting an airplane from one geographic position to another while monitoring his position as the flight progresses. Content: Terms Navigation Atmospheric Altitudes Airspeeds Aeronautical Charts Sectionals VFR Terminal Area Charts World Aeronautical Charts for chart listings and ordering Pilotage and Dead Reckoning Pilotage – Navigation by reference to landmarks or checkpoints Dead Reckoning – Navigation solely by computations based on time, airspeed, distance, and direction Radio Navigation – Navigation by which a predetermined flight path is followed by using radio waves Weather Check Obtaining a preflight weather briefing is the first step to determine if the flight can be conducted safely FAR 91.103 requires familiarity with weather reports and forecasts for the flight Go/No Go Flight Planning Plotting a Course Fuel Stops Checkpoints Unforeseen Events Fuel Consumption and Flight Information Using a Flight Log Filing a Flight Plan Diversion to an Alternate Lost Procedures Avoiding Becoming Lost Once Lost References: Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge – Chapter 14 Completion Standards: The lesson is complete when the student can accurately perform the steps involved in planning a flight and filing a flight plan using all the materials covered in this lesson and to the satisfaction of the instructor. Instructor Notes: Terms Navigation True Course – The intended/desired direction of flight as measured on a chart clockwise from true N True Heading – The direction the longitudinal axis of the airplane points with respect to true N True heading equals true course plus or minus any wind correction angle Magnetic Course – True course corrected for magnetic variation Magnetic Heading – Magnetic Course corrected for wind (direction and speed) Compass Heading – Aircraft heading read from the compass Derived by applyi
