IFR Cross Country Plan

NAME_______________________________________ Aviation Navigation Instrument Cross Country Flight Homework Due: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 Lesson Tasks/Assignments 1. You will need an E6B and Navigation Plotter to complete this assignment. Use Skyvector Low-Altitude IFR Enroute chart. Skyvector.com 2. Cross Country Navigation Log Answer the following questions regarding important flight information. Although some calculations can be done using a standard calculator, please use the E6B to become familiar with these functions. 3. Conditions of the Flight – Route: KSNA (Santa Ana) and KFAT (Fresno Yosemite International) – Time of Flight: Daytime (Daytime Reserves Apply) – Altitude: Proper altitude for direction of flight and MEA requirements. – Aircraft: Cessna 172 N (use POH on Canvas) or attached charts – Fuel: 50 Gallons Usable (Long Range Tanks) – Power Setting at Cruise: 75% – Weather: Attain weather during classtime. Aircraft Information: Basic Empty Weight: 1420.08 lbs Maximum Takeoff Weight: 2300 lbs Useful Load: 879.92 lbs Moment: 54,445.20 Usable Fuel: 50 gal. (Long Range Tanks) Pilot, Passenger, Baggage, Fuel Information: Pilot: Your weight Passenger: 150 Passenger 2: 145 Baggage: 30 lbs Fuel: As much as the aircraft can carry (based on remaining useful load). Instructions (basic hints) – you should already know how to fill out the rest of the log: 1. Review METARS and Winds Aloft Forecasts for area of flight 2. Determine course based on available airways and MEA capabilities. 3. Use E6B to calculate time and fuel burn for climb, cruise, and descent 4. Use E6B to calculate Wind Correction Angle based on Winds Aloft Information 5. Calculate Magnetic Heading (heading you will be actually holding on the heading indicator/compass). 6. USE E6B TO CALCULATE TIME, DISTANCE, AND FUEL BURN BETWEEN EACH CHECKPOINT. 7. Fill in all necessary information on the Navigation log.
