IFR Written Notes - Part 2 - IFR Charts, Procedures, Planning

Com Failure Procedures
Route
- Assigned by ATC, Expected Clearance
- Radar Vectored? Direct to fix, route or airway
- OR Flight Planned Route

Altitude - Highest Of
- Altitude last assigned and acknowledged
- Minimum IFR Altitude
- Altitude ATC said to expect
- Radar Vectored? Climb to minimum IFR Altitude until arrival at FIX/ROUTE/ARRIVAL

Descent for Approach - Later of
- Original ETA
- ETA Notified or Acknowledged by ATC
- Expected approach time

Hold
- Leave at EFC / EAC
- If Hold Fix is not Approach Fix, leave fix at EAC time
- If you have not received fix time, procced to fix and commence descent

Holds - if you were given a leave time before reaching hold
- You can slow down airplane so as to reach the fix at the leave time!

Use Ground Speed calculated from TAS, not IAS or CAS for calculations

Clearance - CRAFT

1. ATC Clears Ident
2. Clearance Limit
3. Route
4. Altitude

5. Frequency

6. Traffic / Special Instructions

Approach Ban
- A 1200
- A/B 1200 / 600
- A 1200
- NOTE THAT THE VIS (IN SM) AND RVR IS ADVISORY AND FOR FLIGHT PLANNING ONLY!! Eg. if it says 2600 RVR - doesn't apply for approach / Ceiling is the only thing that matters unless you run into the above (A, A/B, C) constraints or if below 1/4 SM ???
- Exceptions to Minimum RVR
1. Passed Outer Marker
2. Training flight with missed intended
3. Ground Vis > 1/4 when RVR fluctuating above and below minimum
4. Precision approach to CAT III minima

CAT I - 300 FT?
CAT II - 250 FT?
CAT III - 100 FT?
GPS Minima - 250 FT

When maintaining 3 degree glidescope
Strong headwind - decrease in ground speed, decrease in descent
Strong tailwind - increase in ground speed, increase in descent

Rate of Descent for 3 degree slope should be ground speed x 5
