STUDENT GUIDE T-<strong>39</strong> FLIGHT PREPARATION<br />
b. Flight<br />
Proper scan -- Clock, Chart, Ground<br />
Proper format for cancellation <strong>of</strong> IFR and checking in/out with FSS<br />
Proper format for low level exit communications including IFR clearance pickup<br />
• The RadAlt/Radio Altimeter shall be set to 80% <strong>of</strong> the lowest route altitude segment.<br />
• EHSI will be set to TTG in the lower left display via the HSI button.<br />
• On the initial leg <strong>of</strong> the first low-level, the instructor may demo:<br />
All turn point procedures (all altitude information shall be given in feet AGL)<br />
Intermediate checkpoint and hazard calls<br />
Proper wind analysis<br />
“Fix, Analyze, Compensate, Correct, Update”<br />
A course and time correction, including a BDHI correction<br />
• The demo normally extends from the 2 minute prior call at Pt. A to the MOT call at<br />
Pt. B.<br />
• The instructor will correct errors in the students’ distance estimates and<br />
formats/procedures.<br />
• At 500 feet AGL and 1 minute to go (5 NM out), the turn point or checkpoint is<br />
approximately ½ way to the horizon. The full horizon is approximately 3 minutes out<br />
(15 NM away).<br />
5. VNAV-6<br />
The student will brief hop in its entirety, including all standards, with instructor’s assistance<br />
as required. Same brief procedures as VNAV-5. Format/procedure deviation (on deck or<br />
airborne) is not average. The average student may be slow with procedures and will be<br />
inaccurate at judging distances. The flight will stress the BASICS -- format and procedures,<br />
Clock, Chart, Ground, etc.<br />
6. VNAV-7<br />
Student will brief hop in its entirety. The next low-level hop is the students’ checkride. A<br />
“longer noose” is given to the student. NO basic format or procedures errors are permitted.<br />
Deviations permitted here will only hurt the student on the checkride, where little direct<br />
assistance is given. Student’s distance estimate errors shall always be corrected.<br />
