Practical Problems

You can now fly radar vectors to your destination; however, when equipment loss occurs, be aware that

you will have to change your flight plan if the lost equipment is required to make an approach at your

destination. Navigation equipment failures could indicate an electrical problem that might eventually affect

your communication equipment. Relying on your radio for a radar approach without NAVAIDs to make an

approach leaves you no options in the event of radio failure.

Atlanta Center now advises you that Montgomery FSS reports the Montgomery VOR out of service. You

select Seminole VOR and get a good lock-on. You advise center of this and are directed to resume

normal navigation.

EXAMPLE:

ATLANTA CENTER: “Navy one Alpha one four three: contact Jacksonville Center on three zero

seven point two.”

PILOT: “Navy one Alpha one four three, Roger, Jacksonville Center, three zero seven point two.”

Before leaving an assigned frequency, you must request and receive permission to change

frequency.

EXAMPLE:

PILOT: “Jacksonville Center: Navy one Alpha one four three, request off frequency to contact

Metro.”

JACKSONVILLE CENTER: “Navy one Alpha one four three, Roger. Cleared to leave frequency.

Report back up.”

PILOT: “Navy one Alpha one four three, wilco.”
