MODULE 05
OPERATIONAL NAVIGATION AND WEAPONS
OBJECTIVES:
1. Operational Navigation Stage. Introduce the student to the
principles of VFR navigation with emphasis on low-level
navigation, ground feature recognition, low altitude flying
safety and precise cruise control techniques. Simulated pop-up
attacks on single-plane ONAV flights shall only be performed by
qualified fleet IPs within the confines of the designated low-
level route structure or in designated restricted areas. During
multi-plane flights, additional emphasis shall be placed on
introducing the student to realistic simulated en route attacks.
Because simulated en route attacks are prohibited when carrying
ordnance, multi-plane flights shall not be combined with any
Weapons flights.
Includes: ONAV Ground School (ONAV-01 through ONAV-06X),
Operational Navigation Flight Procedures (ONFP-01 through
ONFP-04X), and Operational Navigation simulators and flights
(ON-01S through ON-08X). This module also includes two late
stage Airways Navigation events (AN-12SX and AN-13) and one Night
Familiarization flight (NFAM-05).
NOTE 1:
Students shall not be scheduled for other events while
in ONAV Ground School.
NOTE 2:
Students must fly five different routes during ON-04
through ON-08X.
NOTE 3:
SNA is required to complete 5 original ONAV charts,
simulator and aircraft combined, during 1-plane ONAVs.
The SNA is authorized to copy the original chart for the
IP on those flights. These five ONAV charts can be a
combination of either hand-made or computer generated
originals.
NOTE 4:
Students must have a minimum of 24 hours notice prior to
each previously unplanned ONAV event for preflight
planning.
NOTE 5:
All ONAV routes should be flown at 360 knots.
NOTE 6:
All ONAV routes may be flown as legs of a cross-country.
NOTE 7:
T-45C only. ON-04 and 05 are DR navigation flights.
ON-06, 07, and 08 are system navigation flights. This
does not eliminate the requirement for chart
preparation.
