Step 10: DETERMINE COMPULSORY REPORTING POINTS FOR NONRADAR

ENVIRONMENT AND MARK ACCORDINGLY; e.g., FIXES ARE COMPULSORY

REPORTING POINTS UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:

Both ends of a direct route

Solid Triangle at a Fix

Step 11: COMPUTE GROUND SPEED (GS) USING WIND SIDE OF CR-2, 3, 4, OR 5.

Using computed GS for the climb, compute the time to first fix.

Three possibilities concerning your point of level-off exist: Fill in the blanks below

during the class lecture problem.

Crossing the fix at the same point and time as reaching cruise; altitude.

Reaching cruise altitude prior to the fix;

Reaching cruise altitude after crossing the first fix

In most practice problems, 2c is the case. This is referred to as a split leg; part of a

leg is climb and part is cruising. Fuel flow, air speed, ground speed, distance, and

time for climb and cruise must be computed for this leg.

Step 12: COMPUTE ETE AND LEG FUEL FOR EACH LEG USING THE COMPUTATION

SIDE OF THE CR-2, 3, 4, OR 5.

Step 13: CALCULATE EFR FOR EACH LEG AND COMPUTER TOTAL DISTANCE, ETE

AND FUEL FOR DEST AND ALT.

Step 14: COMPLETE "ALTERNATE, ROUTE, ALT, TIME, AND FUEL" LINE OF THE

FLIGHT LOG.

Step 15: COMPLETE T-34C FUEL PLAN USING FLIGHT LOG INFORMATION.
