Interpretation of High Altitude Instrument Approach Plates

MOTIVATION

As you know, takeoff and departure, as well as approach and landing, are the

busiest and most critical segments of your flight. By having a thorough

knowledge of the information provided in the FLIP (Terminal) High Altitude

United States, both the Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and the Approach

Plates, you can devote more time to flying the aircraft and less to interpreting

the plates in the air. Careful study of the SID and Approach Plates available

during preflight planning will greatly simplify the process once airborne. Of

course, you must also interpret the information presented in the FLIP

(Terminal) correctly, since misinterpreting the data can have serious

consequences.

This lesson will provide you with the organization and content of the FLIP

(Terminal) High Altitude United States.

OVERVIEW

After this lesson you will be better able to utilize the FLIP (Terminal) High

Altitude - United States and accurately interpret the information contained

therein.
