STAR
Standard Terminal Arrival Serves as a tansition from enroute to where approach begins. Usually named according to the fix at which the basic procedure begins. Can request NO STARs in flight plan RNAV stars require RNAV 1 performance
SID
Standard Instrument Departure Provides obstruction clearance Reduces radio congestion Some SIDS have non standard radio failure procedures File NO SID if you don't want one
Holding Pattern Timing
At or below 14,000 ft= 1 minute At or above 14,000 ft= 1.5 minutes DME/GPS= Fly outbound leg to fix
MCA
Minimum Crossing Altitude= lowest you can cross a fix at
The minimum weather conditions required for an alternate
Precision= At least 600ft ceilings and 2 SM vis Non Precision= 800 FT ceilings and 2sm vis (Can't be non WASS GPS) No approach= Ceilings and vis allowing decent from MEA approach and landing under basic VFR
Lost Com procedure Route to fly
AVEF Assigned route If none Vectored If none Last expected If none Filed Route
Minimum IFR Altitude non mountainous terain
1000 feet above highest obstacle within 4 NM
How to file an IFR flight plan
Flight service station ( in person, radio, or phone) DUATS (online) ATC by radio/phone It must be filed at least 30 min prior to to departure time Stored in system for 1.5 hours from departure time
EDCT
Expect Departure Clearance Time A runway release time given under traffic management programs in busy airports. Aircraft are expected to depart no earlier and no later than 5 minutes from the EDCT.
Do I need an alternate
1-2-3 If 1 hour before or after arrival time the weather is: less then 2000 ft ceilings and or less then 3 SM of visibility you NEED an alternate
RVR to SM 1,600 2,400 3,200 4,000 4,500 5,000 6,000
RVR to SM 1,600 = 1/4 2,400 = 1/2 3,200 = 5/8 4,000 = 3/4 4,500 = 7/8 5,000 = 1 6,000 = 1 1/4
MAA
Maximum Authorized Altitude= highest you can go on a route
Postion reporting items
IPTANES ID Position Time Altitude Name of next reporting point ETA Safety of flight issues
Preflight information
NOTOMS Weather Know ATC delays Runway length of intended use Alternate incase flight can't be completed Fuel requirements Take off and landing performance data
Hold for release
You may not takeoff until being released for IFR departure.
MDA/MDH
Minimum decent altitude= MSL Minimum decent height= AGL Both are the lowest you can descend on non precision approach
Preflight self assessment
Illness Medication Stress Alcohol Fatigue Emotions/Eating
Pilot Navigation SID
Pilot is required to use the applicable SID chart as a reference for navigation to the enroute phase with minimum radio chatter
Clearance Void Time
The time at which your clearance is void and after which you may not takeoff. You must notify ATC within 30 min after the void time if you did not depart.
MEA
Minimum Enroute Altitude= Assures Navigation coverage and obstacle clearance (1000 non-mountainous 2000 mountains)
release time
The earliest time the aircraft my depart under IFR
When can you descend below MDA/DA?
All 3 must be met 1. Aircraft can perform a normal decent and landing 2. Minimum flight visibility is met 3. At least one of ten visual references are met
MORA
Minimum Off-Route Altitude. (Jeppesen charts). Including grid and route MORA.
Instrument PIC recency
6HIT In the past 6 months you need to have done 6 approaches, holding, and intercepting and tracking radials. 6-12 months you can use a safety pilot X>12 month you need an IPC
Recency to cary passangers
You need a biannual flight review past 24 months 3 Take off and landings past 90 days If at night or tail wheel 3 full stop landings
Fuel Requirments
VFR Day= to destination plus 30 min VFR Night= to destination plus 45 min IFR= fuel to destination, and then to alternate, and then plus additional 45 min at normal cruise
Minimum VFR equipment
AA TOMATO FLAMES ADB out (In Class C and B) Altimeter Tachometer Oil temp gauge Manifold temp gauge Airspeed Indicator Temp gauge for liquid cooled engines Oil pressure gauge Fuel gauges Landing GEAR position lights Anti-collision lights Magnetic compass ELT Safety Belts
How to cancel IFR plans
Towered airports will automatically cancel it for you. Non towered you must contact FSS or ATC. Can cancel anytime outside of IMC and class A airspace.
Minimum IFR equipment
Day= All VFR Day+GRABCARD Night= All VFR Day&Night+GRABCARD Generator Radios (Two way & Proper Nav Radios) Adjustable Altimeter Ball (Slip skid indicator) Clock installed in plane (hours, min, seconds) Attitude indicator Rate of turn indicator Directional Gyro ( Heading indicator)
Holding Speeds
Min hold alt - 6000'.........200 KIAS 6,001 - 14,000'.....................230 KIAS Above 14,000'.....................265 KIAS
Personal Documents
Pilot Cert Medical Authorized ID Restricted radiotelephone operator license(outside of US)
Required aircraft inspections
Annual (12 months) VOR (30 Days) 100 hour inspection (flight instructing and for hire) Altimeter/static system (24 months) Transponder (24 months) ELT (12 months)
OROCA
Off-Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (NACO charts). Assures obstacle clearance within 4NM of course. 1000' over non-mountainous terrain; 2000' over mountainous terrain.
MOCA
Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude Provides navigation coverage and obstacle clearance within 22NM of the NAVAID
Risk Management & Personal minimums
Pilot Aircraft enVironment External Pressures
Mandatory Reports under IFR
M.A.R.V.E.L.O.U.S. V.F.R. C.500 M-Missed approach A-Airspeed ±10kt / 5% change of filed TAS R-Reaching a holding fix (report time & altitude) V-VFR on top E*-ETA change ±3 min L-Leaving a holding fix/point O*-Outer marker U-Unforecasted weather S-Safety of flight V-Vacating an altitude/FL F*-Final approach fix R-Radio/Nav failure C*-Compulsory reporting points 500-unable climb/descent 500 fpm *required only in a non-radar environment (including ATC radar failure)
ODP
Obstacle Departure Procedure Only provides obstruction clearance. May be flown without ATC clearance unless SID or other instruction are assigned. Found in the front of the NACO chart booklets Jeppesen shows them under the airport diagram page
Preferred IFR route
Is the route that ATC prefers to use for certain aircraft (Used in foreflight)
Minimum IFR altitude in mountainous terrain
2000 feet above the highest obstacle within 4 NM
Lost Coms Leaving Clearance Limit
Is the clearance limit a fix from which an approach begins? Yes= Start descent and approach as close as possible to the EFC, if no EFC use ETA No= At EFC or clearance limit proceed to a fix from which an approach starts
Lost Com procedure: Altitude to fly
M.E.A Fly the highest of: Minimum altitude prescribed for IFR Expected (Ex. Expect 5000 after 10 min) last altitude ASSIGNED by atc
