IFR Cross Country / July 30, 2009
Flight Plan Filed: CYGK direct to CYOO for approach direct to CYPQ for approach and direct to CYGK / Alternate: Ottawa
- Download knee board log from http://www.bruceair.com/goodies/goodies.htm
- Do flight planning on fltplan.com
- Calculate fuel requirements:
- - taxi/take off/delays
- - to destn + approach + missed
- - to alternate
- - additonal 45 min.
- - see how much fuel you have and translate it to time (if you are asked to hold, you would know how long you can hold before requesting alternate or somwhere else)
- Check to see if alternate meets alternate minima
- Review all approaches
- Review routing / and be prepared for ATC change to routing on clearance
- Need to get authorization / flow number if its practice IFR cross country (800-628-4831)
- File flight plan (on behaf of the instructor - get his/her licence number) and give flow number
Lessons learned:
- If +/- 5% of air speed field call the tml/ctr you are with to say "...has ammendment to airspeed filed when ready"
- Read back ALL clearances (even when they say "cleared for ILS R19"
- NDB
- - don't chase the needle when you are close to the beacon
- - start the timing outbound when you have passed the beacon line
- - know intercept angle and where you are at all times
- Always be prepared for the next step (tune in freq./listen to ATIS)
- When in takeoff/control zone - make yourself visible by turning on all lights
- Make calls brief (eg. when contacting tml or ctr, just say "XXXX clearing XXXX for XXXX"
- Don't need to read back squak code / or say squak ident when asked to do
