INSTRUMENTS FLIGHT PLANNING

CHAPTER ONE

LIGHTING - Use your IFR Enroute Supplement and Approach Plates to paint an

easily discernable picture of the lighting facilities available. Convert codes from your

publications into plain English and/or diagrams.

FUEL/JASU/LOX - Regard these as questions concerning the availability of these

items. You may use J-4, J-5, J8 and Jet A fuel for the T-34C and J-4, J-5, J-8, Jet A,

A-1 and Jet B for the T-6. The JASU unit for the T-34C and the T-6A is the NC-5 or

NC-8A at USN and USMC bases. The T-34C utilizes LPOX or LHOX. The T-6A

has its own Onboard Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).

ATIS - This refers to whether or not the field has a UHF ADF/NDB. Most USN and

USMC Air Stations possess this capability. In this space, the appropriate ATIS

frequency is recommended.

METRO - The appropriate METRO frequency is recommended.

RAPCON - The approach control frequencies for your destination listed on the front

of your jet log, and the approach control frequencies at your alternate.

PAR MINS - The PAR and associated weather minimums for the predicted runway.

These are adjusted, if necessary, to conform to single-piloted absolute minimums.

TAC MINS - The published TACAN and weather minimums for your predicted

runway.

ARR GEAR - As in the LIGHTING section, use your publications to determine

exactly what is available and write it down in clear and understandable

terms/diagrams.

PUBS, NOTAMS, FUEL PACKET, FLASHLIGHT, WALLET, ETC. - Simply

place check marks in these blocks if you are satisfied that you have everything you

need for your particular flight.
