Course content
1. Route flights - choice of routes, speeds, altitudes, alternate airports, timetable, VFR flights, calculations, weather, schedule fuel, deposits. 2. Flight monitoring - fuel calculations, consumption, reassessment. 3. Rescheduling on the fly in case of problems. 4. Flight plan - types, filling in, filing, closing, compliance. 5. Practical processing of the flight plan - calculation of the critical point (CP), including points of the same amount of fuel a point of equal time (PET), calculation of limit point of return (PNR) and point of safe return (PSR), OFP. 6. Preparation of maps and fuel plan. 7. Processing of the navigation plan and radio resources. 8. IFR flights - analysis of the current weather situation, high-altitude winds at the take-off airport, destination airport and possible alternate airports. 9. IFR flights - routing of flight paths, frequencies and identifiers of radio navigation devices, minimum altitudes, standard instrument departures (SID) and arrivals (STAR). 10. IFR flights - checking AIP and NOTAM, selecting altitudes or flight levels for each flight segment, calculating flight time on route for each section of the flight to the destination airport and to the alternate airport and determination of the total flight time on the route. 11. IFR flights - preliminary study of instrument approach procedures and minima at destination and alternate airports. 12. MRJT jet flight planning - fuel planning, calculation of point of equal time (PET) and point of safety return (PSR). 13. Computer-processed flight planning - general principles of current systems.
