NA Flight Planning navigation questions

NAME_______________________________________ Air Navigation VOR Navigation Homework Assignment Due: Tuesday, April 20, 2021 Lesson Tasks/Assignments 1. You will need an E6B, Navigation Plotter, and the Los Angeles Sectional Chart to complete this assignment. 2. With the help of your instructor, become familiar with the Navigation Plotter. USE OF AN ELECTRONIC FLIGHT COMPUTER IS NOT PERMITTED ON THIS ASSIGNMENT! 3. 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. 4. Conditions of the Flight – Route: KSNA and KLAS (McCarran International) – Time of Flight: Anytime (use the same weather info for all calculations) – Altitude: Proper altitude for direction of flight. – Aircraft: Cessna 172 N (use POH on Blackboard) or attached charts – Fuel: 40 Gallons Usable – Power Setting at Cruise: 75% – Weather: It does not matter if the weather is deemed safe for flight. Assume it is clear skies. If weather is not VFR Conditions, the ONLY thing you should take into account from the METAR will be Winds and Altimeter Settings. Don’t forget the Winds Aloft Forecast. 5. Weight and Balance Aircraft Information: Basic Empty Weight: 1420.08 lbs Maximum Takeoff Weight: 2300 lbs Useful Load: 879.92 lbs Moment: 54,445.20 Usable Fuel: 40 gal. Pilot, Passenger, Baggage, Fuel Information: Pilot: Your weight Passenger: 210 Passenger 2: 160 Baggage: 35 lbs Fuel: As much as the aircraft can carry (based on remaining useful load). Completed Instructor’s Initials NAME_______________________________________ Instructions (basic hints) – you should already know how to fill out the rest of the log: 1. Look up Winds Aloft Forecasts for area of flight 2. Select VOR’s to define your route of flight 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. SELECT 5-8 CHECKPOINTS ALONG YOUR ROUTE 7. USE E6B TO CALCULATE TIME, DISTANCE, AND FUEL BURN BETWEEN EACH CHECKPOINT 8. Fill in all necessary information on the Navigation log. Additional Instructions: You must write out all the steps you took to reach your answer. Any answer given without an explanation/summary of how and why you reached that outcome will not be given any credit.
