Instrument Approach Brief

CHAPTER SEVEN

T-34C INSTRUMENTS

701.

STANDARD INSTRUMENT BRIEF

Before each flight, the "standard instrument brief" will be conducted along with the standard

NATOPS brief. It essentially covers the conduct of the flight and what is expected from both the

student and the instructor.

NOTE

These blocks of training may utilize fast cruise or max power for

enroute phases of flight, if prebriefed.

702.

INSTRUMENT APPROACH BRIEF

This is done in flight before each approach.

Prior to commencing an instrument approach, the student will brief the instructor on the

particulars of the approach. The brief should include the following:

Approach name and page number (include volume if other than local).

NAVAIDS required.

Course to set in CDI.

Weather minimums (may be deleted if flown in VMC).

Segment altitudes, including DH or MDA.

Timing.

Missed Approach or Climbout instructions.

Unusual or other noteworthy items peculiar to the approach.

703.

INTERSECTION HOLDING

Reference: NIFM, Chapter 20, "Holding"; AIM, Chapter 5, "Holding," "Holding Procedures."

Amplification

Intersection Holding is a procedure used to delay aircraft at a fix defined by the

intersection of two or more radials. A Holding Pattern may be depicted on Low

Altitude charts (see ATHIS intersection, Figure 71) or, if not depicted, may be

coordinated by the instructor. An intersection may be defined by a single radial and

DME (see KLEIN intersection, Figure 71). Holding at this type of intersection is

addressed in the sections on TACAN holding. This section will cover holding at

intersections defined by the crossing of radials from two or more NAVAIDS.
