Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

10. REVIEW AND DISCUSS
i. Procedures for setting heading.
ii. Procedures for determining drift and drift correction methods.
iii. Check point procedures.
iv. Radio failure procedures.
v. Dog leg procedure:
a. To loose time.
b. To avoid bad weather, high ground or restricted areas.
vi. Procedure when lost.
vii. Procedure at turning point.
viii. Procedure at destination.
11. NIGHT NAVIGATION
i. Greater emphasis must be placed on a comprehensive flight plan as the opportunities
for map reading are limited.
ii. Under suitable conditions, prominent geographical features may be seen and the light
patterns of large towns may be positively identified.
iii. Radio aids assume greater importance at night because of the limitations of map
reading, but they must be used with discretion due to night effect.
3. DESCRIPTION OF AIR EXERCISE
a. APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
b. AIRCRAFT HANDLING TECHNIQUES
DEMONSTRATION OBSERVATION
1. SETTING HEADING
PROCEDURE
After take-off, climb and position the aircraft so
as to arrive over the initial set heading point at
the correct altitude (or flight level), airspeed,
with cruising power set and the D.I. aligned with
the desired magnetic compass heading.
2.
MAP READING
)
i. Time – log take-off time as well as initial
set heading time.
ii. Heading – check general direction and
orientate track line on map with desired
track.
iii. ETA’s – calculate and log ETA’s up to first
checkpoint as well as ETA for final
destination on this leg.
iv. Endurance- check fuel contents and log
remaining endurance.
v. Radio call.
i. Orientation of map (i.e. along longitudinal
axis of aircraft).
ii. Read from map to ground and back to
map.
iii. Anticipate desired pin points by mental
D.R. calculations.
iv. Distance estimations affected by altitude
(i.e. the distance between the aircraft’s
position and a recognised ground feature
as affected by altitude).
v. The co-ordinated use of distance features
