INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES WORKBOOK

If a RADAR DEPARTURE, VFR climb, or an IFR climb on course is requested, the location

identifier of the fix where entry into the route structure will be made will be entered as the first

item in the ROUTE OF FLIGHT section. An entry in the "REMARKS" section must be made

for RADAR and VFR climb departures.

A pilot filing a flight plan requesting an IFR climb departure to Crestview (CEW) would write

the entry as follows:

ROUTE OF FLIGHT

CEW

Figure 4-18 IFR Climb Departure to Crestview

The ROUTE OF FLIGHT section should contain enough information to clearly indicate the

proposed flight path. Location identifiers will be used for NAVAIDs (VORs, TACANs, and

VORTACs) which define the route of flight. (DO NOT WRITE OUT THE NAME OF A

NAVAID ALWAYS USE THE THREELETTER IDENTIFIER.) Names will be used for

intersections which define the route of flight.

When the flight path between fixes is an airway or jet route, enter the airway/jet route number

followed by the fix or intersection where you will leave the airway. The absence of an airway

identifier denotes a direct leg. (Do not use the symbol D RU WKH ZRUG GLUHFW

For IFR flight plans, the last fix entered is the identifier of the nearest appropriate IAF,

NAVAID, first point of intended landing, or published fix, which most clearly establishes the

route of flight to the destination, or the coded identifier of a Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR).

For the IFR course we will always use the IAF.

When the identifier for the IAF and the destination airport are the same, enter both in their

respective spaces. For example: A flight terminating at Crestview and using the Crestview VOR

as its IAF would appear as follows:

ROUTE OF FLIGHT
