Question 4

COMM/NAV Checklist (Instrument & Navigation FTI 206)

Answer 4

The COMM/NAV Checklist is designed to help you test and tune your NAVAIDs and radios before
departure. As you complete the test for each item, consider the required settings for your departure.
For example, if you’re planning a Crestview departure, you should leave 70X in NAV 1 and have 135°
twisted in the HSI. If you’re not departing via a standard instrument departure (SID), you should setup
your NAVAIDs for an approach at your departure point in case of emergency. Have the Morse Codes
available for the station you will be identifying. The numbers in this example applied to south whiting
field (KNDZ). Adjust as necessary at other locations.

Question 5

Cockpit Crew Coordination Brief (NATOPS 6.1.6.5)

Answer 5

The NATOPS Brief is the aircraft commander’s plan for the conduct of the flight. Therefore, the
NATOPS Brief is the time to develop your crew coordination plan. Crew coordination is the
teamwork that rises from effective cockpit communication. It is a strategy and a tool by which aviators work cooperatively to accomplish the mission, safely and effectively. It is not simply the
apportionment of cockpit chores. Read Cockpit Crew Coordination items directly from the briefing
guide in the Pocket NATOPS.
b. These are the things you will brief. Don’t forget them in the flight. If your instructor takes the controls
and promptly wraps it up to a climbing 45° AOB turn, question his actions and be prepared to take
controls back.
i. Safety of flight: The monitoring pilot will monitor performance instruments, question anything
exceeding the following parameters and be prepared to assume the controls:
1. AOB 30°
2. Rate of descent/climb 1,000 fpm
3. Airspeed errors 10 KIAS
4. Altitude errors 100’
5. Heading errors 10°
6. vertigo / disorientation
ii. During approaches the monitoring pilot will:
1. Follow progress of the approach on his/her approach plate.
2. Assist with timing as required
3. Maintain a lookout for the runway/runway environment:
a. With the required references in sight, report “runway in sight” or “approach lights in
sight, clock positions, continue,” or other callouts, as applicable.
b. When the flying pilot states “missed approach point,” if the required references are not in
sight, repot “no runway, execute missed approach.”
c. Control will/will not be transferred and, until landing is assured, the monitoring pilot will
maintain an instrument scan.

iii. During missed approaches, the monitoring pilot will read missed approach instructions and assist
the flying Pilot as directed.
