VISUAL NAVIGATION

6.9. SUMMARY

6.9.1. In the jet phase of intermediate training the student is faced with much of the same

mission planning experienced in T-34 sorties. For the most part, the procedures and skills

learned in the T-34 phase are applied directly to flights in the T-1 or T-39. A significant

difference for the T-1/T-39 Intermediate student will be the pace in which VNAV sorties are

scheduled; typically immediately following the ANAV 16 sortie. As a result, students may find

themselves in a brief for the VNAV-5 sortie less than 48 hours after completing ground school!

As a result, students should not delay in completing their low-level mission materials.

6.9.2. However, the most significant difference is discussed in the next chapter. Flying at 500'

AGL and 300 KIAS changes the low level environment significantly and presents new challenges

to a student's skill level.
