Navigation Lesson Plans Pilotage and Dead Reckoning: Diversion: To determine that the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with diversion References: FAA-H-8083-2, FAA-H-8083-25; AIM; Navigation Charts Pilotage and Dead Reckoning Knowledge: The applicant must demonstrate an understanding of: PA.VI.C.K1: One engine inoperative during straight-and-level flight and turns (AMEL, AMES) Task C. One Engine Inoperative - Instrument Approach (AMEL, AMES) Task D. Approach with Loss of Primary Flight Instrument Indicators. For example, "N1234, failure of GPS system, unable RNAV, request amended clearance", Pilots are not authorized to fly a published RNAV or RNP procedure (instrument approach, departure, or arrival procedure) unless it is retrievable by the procedure name from the current aircraft navigation database and conforms to the charted procedure. Before conducting these procedures, operators should refer to the latest AC 90-101, Approval Guidance for RNP Procedures with AR. This is known as turn anticipation, Fly-over waypoints are used when the aircraft must fly over the point prior to starting a turn, A leg type describes the desired path proceeding, following, or between waypoints on an RNAV procedure, Leg types are identified by a two-letter code that describes the path (e.g., heading, course, track, etc.) (Reference AIM 1-1-3f). RNP AR DP is intended to provide specific benefits at specific locations. Landmarks may be hard to spot, but there are some tricks you can use: Offset to the landmark slightly to have better visibility out the side of the aircraft looking straight down, Use Google Earn to spot nearby landmarks to reference when near. Multiply 0.1 by 60 (minutes in an hour) and you'll get 6, for 6 minutes to travel that distance at that ground speed. When installed in accordance with appropriate airworthiness installation requirements and operated in accordance with applicable operational guidance (e.g., aircraft flight manual and Advisory Circular material), the following systems qualify as a suitable RNAV system: An RNAV system with TSO-C129/-C145/-C146 equipment, installed in accordance with AC 20-138, Airworthiness Approval of Global Positioning System (GPS) Navigation Equipment for Use as a VFR and IFR Supplemental Navigation System, and authorized for instrument flight rules (IFR) en route and terminal operations (including those systems previously qualified for "GPS in lieu of ADF or DME" operations), or. Becomes difficult in low visibility or in areas that lack prominent features. If you look for a specific instrument procedure in your aircraft's navigation database and cannot find it, it's likely that procedure contains PBN elements your aircraft is ineligible for or cannot compute and fly. airport hours of operations, types of fuel available, runway widths, lighting codes, etc. Pilots may descend when established on-course on the next segment of the approach, The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) or avionics documents for your aircraft should specifically state the aircraft's RNP eligibilities, Contact the manufacturer of the avionics or the aircraft if this information is missing or incomplete, U.S. standard NavSpecs above support typical RNP airspace however, other NavSpecs may include different lateral accuracy values as identified by ICAO or other states. ", Checkpoints should be appropriately 10 NM apart, They may be points off the route which you can identify when abeam, Use of tools such as satellite maps (Google, Bing, etc.) Initial data elements included are: Airport and Helicopter Records, VHF and NDB Navigation aids, en route waypoints and airways. Higher continuity (such as dual systems) may be required for certain oceanic and remote continental airspace.

On procedures with both PBN elements and ground-based equipment requirements, the PBN requirements box will be listed first (See FIG 5-4-1. Magnetic heading will usually require a correction based on the variation or: The angular difference between true north and magnetic north from any given position on the earth's surface (represented by isogonic lines), Isogonic lines are points of equal variation, represented in degrees east or west, Deviations is usually pulled off a sectional chart however, other sources such as, The memory aide "east is least (minus), west is best (plus)" is often used to remember how to apply east and west variations, Magnetic Course (MC) = True Course (TC) - East Variation, Magnetic Course (MC) = True Course (TC) + West Variation, All aircraft will have a deviation factor that must be applied, Deviation is read off the compass card in the aircraft, and must be added or subtracted to the magnetic course as appropriate, Determining winds at altitude help guide your true heading, Since winds aloft are expressed in "true," you will calculate the wind correction angle off true course, Deviation is found on a placard with your magnetic compass, Variation is necessary for converting true headings to magnetic, Magnetic variation depends on your location on the earth, as labeled by isogonic lines, Compass heading is determined by applying the deviation correction to the magnetic heading, From Sea Level to 5,500' we calculate 9 minutes, 2.0 Gal, 13 NM, Assuming 1,000' for the departure altitude we calculate: 1 minute, 0.4 Gal, 2 NM, Subtract the difference: (9-1)=8 Min, (2.0-0.4)=1.6 Gal, (13-2)=11 NM, Pay attention to the notes at the bottom of the chart, especially to add 1.1 Gal for taxi and takeoff, Utilizing a simple formula (Distance = Time x Ground Speed may be utilized, Therefore, if you have any two, you can calculate the other. Continue searching. The use of an automatic or manual runway update is an acceptable means of compliance with this requirement. Motivator: Cockpit management are the actions and procedures, starting with preflight, in which all necessary equipment, documents, checklists, and navigation charts appropriate for the flight are on board and easily accessible. NavSpecs should be considered different from one another, not "better" or "worse" based on the described lateral navigation accuracy. | Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Sitemap | Patreon | Contact, https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/advAdvisoryForm.jsp. Continue searching. If you are traveling at 100 knots ground speed for 6 minutes, how far will you travel? In such airspace, the RNAV 10 NavSpec will be applied, so any aircraft eligible for RNP 10 will be deemed eligible for RNAV 10 operations. On AeroNav Products charts, very high frequencies and ultra-high frequencies (VHF/UHF) NAVAIDs (e.g., VORs) are depicted in black, while low frequencies and medium frequencies (LF/MF) are depicted as brown. Further, optional capabilities such as Radius-to-fix (RF) turns or scalability should be described in the AFM or avionics documents. RNP AR DP capability requires specific aircraft performance, design, operational processes, training, and specific procedure design criteria to achieve the required target level of safety. Can be used on any course that has adequate checkpoints, but is commonly used with dead reckoning and VFR radio navigation. It is not intended for every operator or aircraft. At the alternate airport, pilots may plan for applicable alternate airport weather minimums using: Lateral navigation (LNAV) or circling minimum descent altitude (MDA); LNAV/vertical navigation (LNAV/VNAV) DA, if equipped with and using approved barometric vertical navigation (baroVNAV) equipment; RNP 0.3 DA on an RNAV (RNP) IAP, if they are specifically authorized users using approved baroVNAV equipment and the pilot has verified required navigation performance (RNP) availability through an approved prediction program, If the above conditions cannot be met, any required alternate airport must have an approved instrument approach procedure other than GPS that is anticipated to be operational and available at the estimated time of arrival, and which the aircraft is equipped to fly, This restriction does not apply to TSOC145() and TSOC146() equipped users (WAAS users), The low-strength data transmission signals from GPS satellites are vulnerable to various anomalies that can significantly reduce the reliability of the navigation signal. COPs are prescribed for Federal airways, jet routes, area navigation routes, or other direct routes for which an MEA is designated under 14 CFR Part 95 The COP is a point along the route or airway segment between two adjacent navigation facilities or waypoints where changeover in navigation guidance should occur Federal Aviation Administration - Pilot/Controller Glossary, FAR 91.103 that "Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight" which includes, If you don't own an airplane, you probably rent your favorite aircraft at the same FBO each time you fly however, for many, that may not be a possibility, Variations in airplanes which you are licensed and probably signed off to rent by your local FBO must be considered, While normal procedures can generally be done at the pilot's pace, emergency procedures cannot, making their understanding crucial, Aircraft perform differently based on the environmentals and type of operation expected, Be cognizant of "what is different today" and brief to it up front, so factors like density altitude and weight and balance are taken into consideration, Review and print, or tab a copy of the arrival and departure airport, as required, Be wary of "expectation bias;" listen to what a controller actually says, not what you expect, Enroute sector boundaries can be found on enroute charts allowing you to anticipate where about a switch will occur, and to what frequency, Don't ignore what you are flying over as water conditions/temperatures and terrain may impact what you bring and how you may react to an emergency, Pilots must be familiar with what equipment is installed in the airplane, Just as important, pilots must be familiar with where that equipment is installed, The most obvious example is the instrument panel, where equipment like transponders maybe in a new location, even across the same brand of airplane but a different model, Less obvious examples are safety equipment.

When operating below 18,000 feet MSL and: When operating above 18,000 feet MSL, maintain the altitude or flight level assigned by ATC, Account for changes in direction of flight along a flight plan and corresponding altitude changes to meet the standard, ATC may give other restrictions if you are under their control, say with, IFR Cruising Altitudes can be found by referencing FAR 91.179. Copyright 2023 CFI Notebook, All rights reserved. [Figure 1-4], Very high frequency omni-directional ranges (VORs) are the principal NAVAIDs that support the Victor and Jet airways, Many other navigation tools are also available to the pilot, For example, non-directional beacons (NDBs) can broadcast signals accurate enough to provide stand-alone approaches, and DME allows the pilot to pinpoint a reporting point on the airway, Though primarily navigation tools, these NAVAIDs can also transmit voice broadcasts, Tactical air navigation (TACAN) channels are represented as the two- or three-digit numbers following the three-letter identifier in the NAVAID boxes, The AeroNav Products terminal procedures provide a frequency-pairing table for the TACAN-only sites. It includes aeronautical and topographic information of the conterminous U.S. Trust our experience to help you soar. The two terms, often used interchangeably, in fact mean different things: Courses are the direction which the aircraft is actually traveling (impacted by winds), Headings are the directions which the aircraft faces (where it is pointed). Pilots should not normally inform ATC of GPS interference or outages when flying through a known NOTAMed testing area, unless they require ATC assistance. | Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Sitemap | Patreon | Contact, Federal Aviation Administration - Pilot/Controller Glossary, CFI Notebook.net - Airways and Route Course Navigation, Instrument Flying Handbook (1-6) IFR En-Route Charts, The objective of IFR en route flight is to navigate within the, Your ability to fly instruments safely and competently in the system is greatly enhanced by understanding the vast array of data available to the pilot on instrument charts, En route high-altitude charts provide aeronautical information for en route instrument navigation at or above 18,000' MSL, Information includes the portrayal of Jet and RNAV routes, identification and frequencies of radio aids, selected airports, distances, time zones, special use airspace, and related information, Established jet routes from 18,000' MSL to FL 450 use NAVAIDs not more than 260 NM apart, To effectively depart from one airport and navigate en route under instrument conditions, a pilot needs the appropriate IFR en route low-altitude chart(s), The IFR low altitude en route chart is the instrument equivalent of the sectional chart, When folded, the cover of the AeroNav Products en route chart displays an index map of the United States showing the coverage areas, Cities near congested airspace are shown in black type and their associated area chart is listed in the box in the lower left-hand corner of the map coverage box, Also noted is an explanation of the off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA), The effective date of the chart is printed on the other side of the folded chart, Information concerning MTRs is also included on the chart cover, The en route charts are revised every 56 days, When the AeroNav Products en route chart is unfolded, the legend is displayed and provides information concerning airports, NAVAIDs, communications, air traffic services, and airspace, Airport information is provided in the legend, and the symbols used for the airport name, elevation, and runway length are similar to the sectional chart presentation, Associated city names are shown for public airports only, FAA identifiers are shown for all airports, ICAO identifiers are also shown for airports outside of the contiguous United States, Instrument approaches can be found at airports with blue or green symbols, while the brown airport symbol denotes airports that do not have instrument approaches, Stars are used to indicate the part-time nature of tower operations, Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) frequencies, part-time or on request lighting facilities, and part-time airspace classifications, The minimum en route altitude (MEA) ensures a navigation signal strong enough for adequate reception by the aircraft navigation (NAV) receiver and obstacle clearance along the airway, Communication is not necessarily guaranteed with MEA compliance, The obstacle clearance, within the limits of the airway, is typically 1,000' in non-mountainous areas and 2,000' in designated mountainous areas, MEAs can be authorized with breaks in the signal coverage; if this is the case, the AeroNav Products en route chart notes "MEA GAP" parallel to the affected airway, MEAs are usually bidirectional; however, they can be single-directional, Arrows are used to indicate the direction to which the MEA applies, The minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA), as the name suggests, provides the same obstruction clearance as an MEA; however, the NAV signal reception is ensured only within 22 NM of the closest NAVAID defining the route, The MOCA is listed below the MEA and indicated on AeroNav Products charts by a leading asterisk (e.g., "*3400" - see Figure 1-2, V287 at bottom left), The minimum reception altitude (MRA) identifies the lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined from an off-course NAVAID, If the reception is line-of-sight based, signal coverage only extends to the MRA or above, However, if the aircraft is equipped with distance measuring equipment (DME) and the chart indicates the intersection can be identified with such equipment, the pilot could define the fix without attaining the MRA, On AeroNav Products charts, the MRA is indicated by the symbol, The minimum crossing altitude (MCA) is charted when a higher MEA route segment is approached, The MCA is usually indicated when a pilot is approaching steeply rising terrain and obstacle clearance and/or signal reception is compromised, In this case, the pilot is required to initiate a climb so the MCA is reached by the time the intersection is crossed, On AeroNav Products charts, the MCA is indicated by the symbol, The maximum authorized altitude (MAA) is the highest altitude at which the airway can be flown with assurance of receiving adequate navigation signals, Chart depictions appear as "MAA-15000."
