OTHER MISSION PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

After computing the jet card with best known winds, preparing the DD 175, and making the final

chart annotations, there are still a few items left to complete before stepping out to the aircraft.

NOTAMs must be checked prior to each flight. Be sure to check the hourly, regional (by state),

and special notices. Low-level route closures, military exercises, NAVAID status, and divert

field closure can all have an effect on your mission.

Weather not only includes the winds used to compute your flight plan, but also the conditions

permitting low-level flight, such as visibility. For T-6A Navigation flights, the required visibility

minimums are the same as those required for standard VFR flight, 500 feet below, 1000 feet

above, 2000 feet horizontal clear of clouds, and three miles visibility.
