  1. INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLANNING CW2 BRANDON ERDMANN

  2. Plan an IFR Flight • TASK: Discuss the sequence for planning an IFR flight and various flight planning factors. • CONDITIONS: In a classroom with individual FLIP and planning materials • STANDARDS: As listed in TC 1-212 and FM 1-240

  3. TC 1-212 Task 1002 • Aircraft and crew capable? • Accomplish IAW AR 95-1? • Determine Proper Procedures • (Departure, Enroute, Destination) • Select Route(s) • Select Approach • Alternate?

  4. TC1-212 Task 1002 • Determine: Distance +/- 1nm, TAS +/- 3kts, GS +/- 5kts, ETE +/- 3 min/leg • Determine fuel required • Complete and file flight plan • Perform risk assessment IAW SOP

  5. IFR PLANNING SEQUENCE • 1. MISSION • 2. WEATHER & NOTAM EVAL • 3. FLIGHT PLAN • 4. INSTRUMENT FLIGHT LOG • 5. FINISH FLIGHT PLAN • 6. PPC • 7. FUEL PLANNING

  6. MISSION • 1. Evaluate what destinations are required to perform the mission. • ----Are the any substitute destinations ? • 2. What actions will we take if we cannot break out at destination ?

  7. WEATHER & NOTAMS • 1. Do we have destination weather • 2. Do we need an alternate • 3. Do we have WX at a suitable alternate • 4. Special considerations: • - Do NOTAMS affect the flight • - Icing, Turbulence

  8. Alternate Airfield Planning • Radar Required • Navigational aid is unmonitored • predominant weather is forecast at ETA through one hour after ETA to be less than--400-1 above the planning minimum • Descent from en route minimum altitude for IFR operation, approach, and landing can be made in VFR condition an alternate is not required

  9. Alternate Airfield Selection • Worst weather is forecast at ETA through one hour after ETA to be less than--400-1 above the planning minimum. • Descent from en route minimum altitude for IFR operation, approach, and landing can be made in VFR condition an alternate is not required.

  10. Will not be selected as an Alternate if the following apply. • Radar Required • Navigational aid is unmonitored • A (NA) not authorized • If class B,C,D, or E surface area does not exist or is not in effect • GPS is required for the approach

  11. Descent into VFR • Example • Minimum Enroute Altitude 2000 MSL • Minus Field Elevation 298 MSL • 1702 • Plus 500 feet (cloud clearance) 500 • 2202 • Round up to nearest 100 2300

  12. FLIGHT PLAN (DD 175) • Item 1: Date • Item 2: Call Sign G-23748 • Item 3: Type of Acft and transponder code • UH-60/U • Item 4: Type of flight plan • Item 5: TAS • -10 Cruise charts

  13. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Item 6: Point of departure. On the DD 175 use the 3 letter identifiers. • Item 7: Proposed departure time. Enter the time you plan to leave airfield. Allow time for flt plan processing. Flight plans should be filed NLT 30 min prior to flight. • Item 8: Altitude. Drop the last two zero’s.

  14. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Item 9: Route of flight. - Departure entries • - Example 1: SID name, number, and transition. Use only transitions listed on the SID.

  15. DD Form 175 (cont.) • - Example 2: If a SID is not used, enter the point where you will be entering the enroute structure as the first point in the route of flight.

  16. DD Form 175 (cont.) • - Example 3: To enter the enroute structure on a section of airway, list that airway, the first intersection or fix on the airway. If you intend to remain on that airway after this fix list that airway again (e.g. V7 Banbi V7 RRS)

  17. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Example 4: Some airfields that do not publish a SID may publish a departure procedure in the TAKEOFF MINIMUMS AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES section of the approach plates. You should check these departure procedures because they are preferred routing that ATC will use for traffic departing that airfield. AR 95-1 requires the compliance with nonstandard IFR takeoff minimums.

  18. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Example 5: Write “Request Radar Departure” in the remarks block when you are requesting a departure that you cannot navigate by yourself. Sometime terrain will not permit radio reception until passing through a certain altitude. This type of departure requires radar assistance. Do not file for radar departures except as a last resort. If you lose commo on departure you will not have a filed route of flight that you can fly.

  19. Route of Flt (After SID) • Enroute and Approach • 1. Clearly enter the route of flight using navaids, airways, named intersections, etc. • - Do not use two-letter identifiers • - Absence of airways indicates direct flt

  20. Route of Flight • Example 1: When using an airway, name the start point and end point on that airway (e.g. HNL V2 LNY). The last point in the route of flight will be the IAF for the approach you plan to fly at destination.

  21. Route of Flight • Example 2: To transition between airways at unnamed intersections, list the two airways consecutively ( LNY V16 V5 IAI).

  22. Enroute Delay (holding) • Example 1:Flight plans will normally be presented as one continuous flight. A hldg delay will be shown immediately after the holding fix. • e. g. (CYS HORSE / D 0+35 GXY) • No remarks are necessary

  23. Terminal Area Del. (approaches) • Enter delay location airport identifier as last item in route • Do not make entry in TO block • Enter time required to fly the segment in ETE block • Explain delay as remark in next Route block • Do not make other entries on that line • Precede remark with circled R • Enter a D, length of delay, delay location airport ID, dest. • e.g. ((R) D 0+15 FNL CYS)

  24. Stopover Flight Plans • Each leg after the initial leg entered separately. • Fuel on board following last entry of successive legs. • e.g. (2+45) • If alternate required, enter the airport identifier and the ETE to the alternate in parenthesis with the fuel on board entry. • e.g. (2+45 LAR 0+35) • Void Time

  25. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Item 10: TO Block - Enter only airport identifiers where you intend to land. This is why the “TO” block is left blank for terminal area delays. • Item 11: ETE Block - Time from takeoff to the IAF. Do not include time for the approach. Do not include time for enroute delays.

  26. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Item 12: Remarks Block: Enter PPR numbers or other pertinent plain language information necessary to be transmitted to the destination airport. Also enter void times for (1) stopover and (2) terminal area delay flights. Round void times up to the next whole hour. • Item 13: Rank/honor/code.

  27. DD Form 175 (cont.) • Item 14: Fuel on board in hrs+mins • Item 15: Alternate airfield • Item 16: ETE to Alternate • - Enter the time it takes to • * Perform the entire missed approach • * One turn in missed app holding • * Time to fly to the alternate • * Time to do the approach to landing

  28. IFR Flight Planning • COMPLETE FLIGHT LOG. • FINISH FLIGHT PLAN TIME ENTRIES • COMPLETE PPC • - Estimated fuel flow is needed next

  29. FUEL PLANNING (REARA) • You must know how much fuel is required to fly the mission • Time Fuel Fuel Remaining • Run-Up 10 130 1739 • Enroute 54 700 1609 • Approach 8 104 909 • Reserve 30 390 390 • Alternate 32 415 805 • 1739

  30. Safety Tip • DON’T • FORGET • YOUR • PUBS
