INAV Flashcards
(42 cards)
How many points should there be? Time interval
6-8 check points. 5-25 minutes apart
ATIS. What does it provide
Automated Terminal Information System.
Ceiling, visibility, altimeter, wind
AWOS
Automated Airport Weather Service.
Wind (direction and velocity), altimeter
Converting true headings to magnetic
East is least. West is best. Add or subtract the variation annotated on isogenic lines found on the chart.
Class D
Surface to 2,500 AGL. Less than 200 KIAS. 4.4nm. Blue dashed line
Class C
Inner: SFC-4000AGL, 5nm
Outer: 1,200-4000AGL, 5-10nm
To close out flat plan
FSS or 1-800-WX-BRIEF (A and B)
Continuation fuel
Min fuel needed at check to continue and arrive at destination with required reserve
Guard
243, 121.5, attempt each before declaring radio failure
When is flight considered late.
30min
Conversion of time to distance
Distance/GS/60
210, 3.5nm, in one min
CTAF
Common Traffic Advisory Frequency. Use at non-towered or when tower is closed
Distance to broadcast intentions
15- towered
10- non towered
Primary method of navigation while VFR
Dead reckoning and pilotage
Day/Night min altitudes for VNAV routes
MSA for each leg. Altitude will be 500ft higher than highest obstacle rounded to nearest hundred within 10nm of the route centerline
Altitude over bird sanctuaries
3,000 ft AGL
VFR vs IFR flight plan
VFR is not a clearance VFR provides flight following to FSS
AREAS
WARM P
Prohibited Areas
Airspace dimensions are defined an area on the surface of the earth over which flight is prohibited (associated with security)
Restricted Areas
Flight over these is not prohibited but is subject to restriction due to INVISIBLE, OFTEN UNUSUAL, Activities harmful to aircraft (missiles, gunnery). Get permission to enter these
Warning Areas
May pose hazards to non participating a/c in international airspace. Pilots should obtain clearance
Alert Areas
Hugh volume of pilot training or weird activity. Be alert when flying through
MOA
Provide the separation of military training activities from other IFR traffic. MOA’s subject to hours of operation.
Hoe long should BFR be
200-300miles
