Flight Planning Basics, VFR & IFR. Performing calculations

From the Central Valley Aviation News

When was the last time you truly reviewed your "basic" flight planning skills? Looked over the 'ole E-6B, your plotter, your sectional chart with all it's plentiful symbols, and actually wrote out a navigational log.

If it's been awhile, because you have become complacent with your new fangled computerized GPS, calculator, cell phone, ad infinium, then this seminar is for you!

We will be completing an interactive 'navigational planning' session in our legendary Belch-fire 6 from Visalia to Bull Head City, AZ.; checking our physical calculations against DUATS.

Last of all, we will visually simulate the flight using the E6b, VOR's, dead reckoning, pilotage, opening and closing our flight plan. So dust off your E-6b (batteries not allowed or included), bring it and a couple of pencils for an enlightening time.

Those "Worthless" VFR Flight Plans
by Andy Applegate

In this go and do faster world that we live in, day in and day out, the last thing on many pilots’ minds is filing a flight plan, especially if they are flying in a VFR environment. Reliance on inventions like LORAN and GPS have caused some pilots to just jump in the airplane and takeoff without performing all the usual preflight planning activities before they go. Now imagine that you didn’t conduct any preflight planning or file a VFR flight plan from your home airport to go to your favorite vacation spot in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Along the way you run into bad weather or get off course and run out of fuel and, unfortunately, end up crashing somewhere between here and there. Who’s going to look for you or even know you’re missing? If you, however, had taken the time to file a VFR flight plan with Lansing Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) or filed it over the direct user access terminal system (DUATS, which is tied in with the Flight Service Station’s messaging system) and activated it soon after your departure, search and rescue units would be out within hours to start locating your accident scene.

Flight PlanVFR flight plans are not required by the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) to be on file with a Flight Service Station (FSS). However, it has been a recommended policy that a flight plan should be filed for every crosscountry flight where your intended point of landing is more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure. This is not to say that you can’t file a flight plan for a trip that is only fifteen miles from your point of departure - YOU CAN! VFR flight plans give you an added insurance of safety that, if by chance something drastic happened during your flight, someone will be waiting on the other end to hear from you. And can you believe that it doesn’t cost you a penny? That’s right. IT’S FREE!

There is a discouraging step that everyone who does file a VFR flight plan sometimes forgets to perform - CLOSING THE FLIGHT PLAN. Nobody likes to be called by the FAA late in the evening or at night while you are tucked in bed to make sure you made it home from the airport. There are several embarrassing excuses that are made up by pilots who forgot, were distracted, or were too busy to close their flight plan. Because of this mistake and the resulting embarrassment, a pilot may never file a VFR flight plan again. What follows is what happens when your flight plan does not get closed for any particular reason.


Once you activate your flight plan, the time that you listed under BLOCK 10, Estimated Time Enroute, of the FAA Flight Plan Form is used to determine your ETA (estimated time of arrival). If 30 minutes have elapsed since your ETA at your destination airport, your aircraft is considered overdue, and search and rescue (SAR) procedures are instigated. At that point, your destination’s FSS is responsible for locating your aircraft. The first action that is taken is to send a QALQ message to every FAA facility at an airport where you may have landed. (A QALQ message is a request for information concerning the overdue aircraft.) In addition, this message is also sent back to your departure’s FSS as well as every Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) within the area. Any facility that receives a QALQ must briefly check with every controller and examine recent flight strips to determine whether any contact has been made with the overdue aircraft. Each of these facilities is required to answer the QALQ request, even if no contact has been made with your aircraft.

If the replies to the QALQ request are all negative (meaning that no FAA facility in the nearby area has located your aircraft or 30 minutes have passed since the transmission of the QALQ) the destination FSS transmits an information request (INREQ) to the departure FSS, to every flight watch FSS along your route of flight, to other FSS’s or ARTCC’s along your route of flight, and to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) located at Langley AFB, Virginia. On receipt of an INREQ message, every facility begins a check of facility records to determine whether radio contact was made with your aircraft. At the conclusion of these checks, a reply message is transmitted to the destination FSS describing the results of the search. If the replies to the INREQ are negative or one hour after the transmission of the INREQ message, the destination FSS transmits an alert notice (ALNOT) to every FAA facility within 50 miles of your aircraft’s proposed route of flight. These facilities then conduct a communications search of every airport within their immediate vicinity. In most cases, the airport manager, FBO, or operator is telephoned, and this individual conducts a visual search of the airport property. This is also called a ramp search. If no one can be contacted at the airport, local law enforcement personnel are requested to check for your aircraft. In addition, flight service stations and air traffic control facilities within the area transmit a request over the appropriate frequencies asking every airborne aircraft to monitor the emergency frequency (121.5 MHz, 243.0 MHz, or 406 MHz) and listen for emergency communications or a transmission from the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) on board your aircraft.

If an hour has elapsed since the original ALNOT transmission, the destination FSS contacts the AFRCC and provides all the pertinent information about your flight to the RCC officer. If your aircraft has not been located by this time, the U.S. Air Force assumes complete responsibility for locating your aircraft and may initiate a ground and air search for your aircraft utilizing the Civil Air Patrol.

If by now you still have decided that filing a VFR flight plan is not worth your pain and agony, utilizing the air traffic control system to receive VFR traffic advisories and flight following are strongly encouraged. They may not have all your necessary information for search and rescue operations, but at least, if you do decide to make a forced landing, they have a good idea of where you might have landed and can reduce the amount of time that it takes to find you.

More and more fatal flights, where search and rescue operations are being conducted, end up becoming just search missions because the pilot neglected to file a flight plan or receive flight following from ATC. These services are provided to you at no cost should you decide to slow down, take a minute, and use them. Overall it can mean the difference between life or death and comfort to you and your families.

HUMAN BEHAVIOR: THE #1 CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Part One of Three

It is a well established fact that our emotional makeup is largely responsible for the accidents we get into. The following list was assembled as a result of an international study on accident proneness. (Accident proneness by Shaw and Sichel: published by Pergamon 1971) If a person fits several of the following, he or she is likely to be accident prone.

THE BAD ACCIDENT RISK

DEFINITELY ABNORMAL

  • The mentally defective or psychotic person.
  • The person who is extremely unintelligent, unobservant, and unadaptable.
  • The disorganized, disoriented, or badly disturbed person.
  • The badly integrated or maladjusted person.
  • The person with a distorted perception of life and a distorted sense of values.
  • The person who is emotionally unstable and extremist.
  • The person who lacks control and particularly the person who exhibits uncontrolled aggression.
  • The person with pronounced anti-social attitudes or criminal tendencies.

FEW PEOPLE BELONG IN THE GROUP ABOVE BUT IF YOU KEEP READING, YOU WILL PROBABLY RECOGNIZE SOMEONE YOU KNOW.

TRAITS FREQUENTLY FOUND AMONG PEOPLE CONSIDERED QUITE NORMAL ARE:

  • The selfish, self-centered, or id-directed person
  • The highly competitive person.
  • The over-confident, self assertive person.
  • The irritable and cantankerous person.
  • The person who harbors grudges, grievances, and resentment.
  • The blame-avoiding person who is always ready with excuses.
  • The intolerant and impatient person.
  • The person with marked antagonism to and resistance against authority.
  • The frustrated and discontented person.
  • The inadequate person with, a driving need to prove their self.
  • The extremely anxious, tension-ridden, and panicky person.
  • The person who is unduly sensitive to criticism.
  • The helpless and inadequate person who is constantly in need of guidance and support.
  • The chronically indecisive person.
  • The person who has difficulty concentrating.
  • The person who is easily influenced or intimidated.
  • The careless and frivolous person.
  • The people who are very lacking in personal insight and an appreciation of their own limitations.
  • The people who have the sort of personality pattern that predisposes them to drink or drugs.
  • The person who already gives evidence of addiction to alcohol or drugs.
  • The person who has suicidal tendencies or who indulge in suicide fantasies.
  • The people who exhibit the personality characteristics commonly associated with immaturity.
WHEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURS, PEOPLE ANGRILY ASK WHY "SOMEONE" DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE OBVIOUS RISKS CERTAIN PILOTS TAKE.

Well Someone has! Find out next month when we give some more information on human factors.

Wings Program LogoWINGS PROFICIENCY
AWARD PROGRAM

 

A Special Opportunity For All Pilots

WINGS: An excellent way to gain proficiency

WINGS is the FAA Pilot Proficiency Award Program designed to encourage general aviation pilots to continue their training. It provides an opportunity to practice selected maneuvers in a minimum of instruction time.

WINGS is an excellent opportunity for you to re-evaluate your flight proficiency and knowledge.

If You're a Pilot, You're Eligible

WINGS is open to all pilots holding a recreational certificate or higher with a current medical certificate, when required. After you've logged three hours of dual instruction under the program and attend at least one FAA-sanctioned safety seminar you will be eligible to receive and wear a distinctive set of WINGS. You will also receive a certificate of completion.

Pilots: Your attendance at safety seminars fulfills one of the requirements of the Pilot Proficiency Award program (Wings Program). Completion of the requirements of the Wings Program, as outlined in Advisory Circular 61.91g, will qualify you to receive a Wings lapel pin and wall certificate. ADDITIONALLY, if you satisfactorily complete a phase of the Wings Program within the period specified by Section 61.56 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, you need not accomplish a biennial flight review.

More Wings To Work For

Each twelve month interval after earning your first set of WINGS you will be eligible for more WINGS. Each WINGS pin is specially designed to mark your additional progress.

WINGS-The Sign of a Safe Pilot

It's a fact - recurrent training makes a difference. Statistics show that pilots who participate in recurrent training programs such as WINGS, have a much better safety record than the pilots who do not. Earning your WINGS could have a positive impact on your aviation insurance costs. Be sure to inform your insurance agent of your commitment to the WINGS Program

WORK FOR YOUR WINGS.
THEY'RE WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THE
TIME IT TAKES TO GET THEM.
