Interpretation of High Altitude Instrument Approach Plates
T-45A UJPT & E2-C2 INav-07
MOTIVATION
The takeoff, departure, approach, and landing phases are the most critical in
each flight. By thoroughly studying the FLIP Standard Instrument Departures
(SIDs), STARs and Terminal High Altitude United States Approach plates
beforehand, the pilot can devote more time to flying the aircraft and less to
interpreting the procedures in the air. Misinterpreting the information could
have serious consequences.
This lesson will provide you with the organization and content of the FLIP
(Terminal) High Altitude United States.
