  1. Flying from Atlanta to Bostonwith TeleType GPS KLZU to KBED May 27, 2005

  2. Pre-Flight Planning • AOPA DUATS Flight Planner showed good tailwinds, 5.5 hours enroute • Piper Turbo Arrow N47912 has 7 hours fuel • St. Mary's County Airport (2W6) is half way • Good refueling stop along route, VFR expected • Will pass 2W6 before sunset • Stay there often • ATE + TTG > 6.0 hours is "BINGO" • ATE + TTG are Actual Time Enroute + Time To Go • BINGO: mission rule refuel stop time limit • Flew non-stop, refueling stop not needed

  3. DUATS Flight Plan • Requested LZU to BED • DUATS approximates great circle route • Does not generate FAA preferred routes CORCE V222 BZM V20 COLIN V213 RBVV123 LGA V433BDR V229 DVANY V1 WHYB • Manually change to previous clearance route CORCE V222 BZM V20 COLIN V16 JFK V229HFD DREEM • 11,000 ft to take advantage of tailwinds • Cleared as filed!

  4. Entering Flight Plan Route • Start by Clearing route • Enter origin airport • In Airport text box, K-prefix is optional

  5. Enter First Waypoint • Flight plan has CORCEintersection • Clearance will say"Radar Vectors to Sugarloaf", skipping CORCE and ODF

  6. Enter Victor Airway, Next Fix • CORCE V222 BZMexpands to insert ODFand SUG • If you make an error typing the Vnnn or fix,TTGPS reports an error

  7. Enter Pairs of Vnnn and Fixes • Check current fix, enternext Vnnn and fix • Updated MagneticBearings (MBG) andDistances providesanity checks • Out-of-order entries willhave obviously wrongheadings and distances

  8. Victor Airways Reduce Work • BZM V20 COLIN expands to insertSBV RIC TAPPA

  9. Preferred Route Past NYC • COLIN V16 JFK is theFAA preferred route • Altitude assignment willbe 7000 feet over JFK

  10. Preferred Route After NYC • Dog leg to PUGGS avoids LGA traffic • Controllers often "Clear direct to HFD" whenBDR and HFD arealigned, straight lineto DREEM

  11. Final Fix Before Destination • V229 ends at DVANY • DREEM is on extendedHFD R053 • After HFD, enter directto DREEM waypoint

  12. Enter Destination Airport • Hanscom Field, BedfordMassachusetts

  13. Route is Complete • Completed flight routeshows no wind timeenroute estimate • Favorable wind forecaston DUATS showed anestimate of 5.5 hrs.

  14. Save Route • Default file name isORIG-DEST.trp • klzu-kbed.trp

  15. TTGPS Shows Destination • This reconstruction ofthe flight route showsthe route in green andthe trace of the flight in black • No GPS signal present

  16. Reviewing the Route • Pilot can view route,drag column headers orscroll table left/right tosee Vnnn details • Entered fixes are uppercase, expansions lower • Press on column headDist or Time and selectLeg, So Far or To Goto select calculations

  17. Reviewing Waypoints • Tools > Waypointsleads to dialog

  18. Info About Waypoints • Click on Start waypoint • Shows airport name • Lat/Long

  19. Other Enroute Fixes • Example: Hartford, CN • On Victor 229 • VOR-DME

  20. Destination Airport • Hanscom Field, KBED

  21. Simulate Flight Route • Right-click on route • Select Start Simulator

  22. Start Sim • Select fix • Reset Actual TimeEnroute • OK

  23. Sim Starts • Aircraft icon followsflight plan route • Bottom right corner ofmap shows FR:71g(fuel remaining) • FR is computed fromaircraft profile and flighttime

  24. Review of Flight • Flight plan, actual flighttrace, paused Sim • Sim follows stored route • Altimeter and GPS ALTwill vary with weather

  25. Review Flight at 50nm Scale • Takeoff on RW25 • Departure gave radarvectors • Then cleared direct to Sugarloaf

  26. Up the Coast • Over Virginia • By Atlantic City

  27. Last Segments • Near Philadelphia • Over JFK • Over Worcester Mass • Bedford, Mass

  28. Approach to Bedford • Hanscom ATIS: • Expect Visual ApproachRunway 29

  29. Visual Approach RWY29 • Entered Left Downwind • Taxi to refuel

  30. Reviewing Trace Data • Trace data can bedisplayed during andafter the flight • File auto-saves • Save named file afterflight for review

  31. Trace Data After Takeoff • Showing trace dataright after takeoff • UTC avoids problemswith time zone changes • Trace info is GPS data

  32. Trace Point Information • Press on trace line • Select Info… from menu • Handy for start and endtimes for logbook • This flight took 5h26m

  33. Turn Anticipation • Countdown starts 30s before fix • Turn time is angle / 3° per sec • Half before fix, half after • Starts turn at angle/6+3s beforeflyover time • Pilot can adjust for roll rate • Displays next fix and heading:WPT: JFK65° to PUGGSin 20s • After passing fix:WPT: PUGGS

  34. Conclusion • TTGPS is very handy and intuitive to use • Victor Airways support eases pilot workload • In-flight calculations improve situational awareness and safety • Trace information aids post-flight review • Turn anticipation is a technology demonstration that shows how computing power can augment GPS
