T-45C TS, ADV, & IUT NFamFP-01
A. Determine route of flight 1.7.7.1.2
Sg 2, fr 2
Night Visual Navigation
1.
Plot course using well-lighted landmarks as
Planning/Procedures
checkpoints
* Determine route of flight
2.
Identify obstacles with and without
- Use well-lighted landmarks
illumination along route of flight
- Note ALT airfields
* Flight Log
3.
Identify location of airfields along route in
- VFR altitudes
event of emergency
- Course/Dist/Time/Fuel
(Dog house)
a.
Determine airfields suitable for
* Navigational emphasis (this
emergency diverts along route of flight
tng msn)
- Pilotage is primary (visual
b.
Determine and plot heading and
ground references)
distance information and tower
- GPS/INS navigation is
supplemental (use of
frequency from each checkpoint to
waypoints)
nearest emergency divert field
* DEP data entry review:
Waypoints, LAW, BINGO
c.
Determine and plot heading and
distance information from each
checkpoint to NAS Meridian
d.
Determine possible weather deviations
(1) Remain VMC at all times
(2) Return to base if route is not
flyable
B. Flight log
1.
Determine VFR altitudes
NOTE: Ensure that you select an altitude below
FL180 that complies with local SOP and allows
identification of chosen landmarks or
checkpoints along the route of flight.
a.
For courses 000 degrees to 179
degrees, use odd altitudes + 500 ft
b.
For courses 180 degrees to 359
degrees, use even altitudes + 500 ft
