CHAPTER EIGHT T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION<br />
2. Traditional NAVAIDs<br />
a. Select VOR as the NAV source.<br />
b. Review the STAR.<br />
Common Errors.<br />
1. Inability to load the FMS properly.<br />
2. Not understanding the clearance given by ATC (descent via XYZ STAR vice fly XYZ<br />
STAR).<br />
804. ENROUTE DESCENT<br />
Description. There are many different ways to make an enroute descent. The basics never<br />
change - exchanging potential energy in the form of altitude, for kinetic energy in the form of<br />
airspeed.<br />
Procedure.<br />
1. Report leaving the assigned altitude.<br />
2. Lower the nose and trim as the aircraft accelerates.<br />
3. Adjust the nose in order to maintain the desired rate of descent (1000-4000 FPM).<br />
4. 1000’ prior to level-off altitude, adjust the rate of descent in order to capture the assigned<br />
altitude.<br />
Common Errors.<br />
1. Not completing the Descent Checklist.<br />
2. Loss of heading control, due to lack of rudder trim with the change in airspeed.<br />
805. TERMINAL DESCENT<br />
General. Transition the aircraft from an intermediate altitude to the approach phase of flight.<br />
Description: A terminal descent is a procedure used to descend to a lower altitude when in<br />
contact with the destination approach controller and in the terminal phase of flight. A terminal<br />
descent provides a slower rate of descent than the enroute descent.<br />
Procedure.<br />
1. Report leaving the assigned altitude.<br />
