What to plan for IFR departure
-standard or non-standard departure
-departure weather req
-departure field instrument approach procedure in the event of emergency during departure
What to plan for en route IFR
-route selection
-altitudes
-en route weather hazards
-course changes and change over points
-MEA, MOCA, MRA, MCA
What to plan for IFR arrival
-availability of multiple instrument approaches
-weahter requirements
-transition or feeder routes
-inoperative components table
How do you estimate enroute time?
-each leg based on ground speed
-time for climb outs on extended climbs
-time for missed approach/alternate planning
-calculate totat time
What are the fuel requirements
-fuel for flight
-fuel for alternate/missed approach
-reserve req
We need an alternate airfield during IFR flight if:
- NAVAIDS unmonitored
- Predominant weather less than:
a. Ceiling 400 feet above…..
b. Visibility 1 mile greater….. - Radar required
*VFR exception- alternate not required if VFR conditions exist at MIA and during descent
We use ________ weather for alternate airports
worst
slide 28
safe altitudes must not be the “_________________” nor do they necessarily guarantee _______________
minimum altitude for IFR operations
NAVAID reception
Safe altitudes can be:
-MEF (must add 1000 or 2000 to MEF)
-OROCA from the ELA
-MSA, ESA, or TAA from IAP charts
