EMERGENCY "BINGO" TO ALTERNATE SECTION

The EMERGENCY BINGO section summarizes the flight profiles to your alternate airfield.

Figure 1-22 is the completed EMERGENCY BINGO section for this flight.

LAST CRUISING ALT - These numbers relate to your first alternate profile (i.e., cruising at

15,000 feet from destination IAF to alternate IAF). The 100 lbs is taken directly from the front

of the jet log, and the approach and reserve fuels are from the FUEL PLAN section.

INITIAL APP ALT - Your second alternate profile (i.e., at 5000 feet from destination IAF to

alternate IAF). The 110 lbs is taken from the front of the jet log. The approach and reserve fuels

are from the FUEL PLAN section. This alternate profile is planned at 5000 feet. In addition, the

round numbers it provides lessens the need for interpolation. For practical purposes, this is a

useful set of data, because frequently, your need to divert to an alternate is not known until you

are near the IAF, ready to commence an approach.

BINGO - In the REQUIRED column, write the altitude to which you are climbing. In the

APPROACH column, enter the IAS for the BINGO profile. In the RES column, enter the

descent point. In the TOTAL column, copy the IFR Bingo fuel you computed from the Bingo

chart (220 lbs in this case).

NOTE

The arrows are simply visual cues you may use to remind yourself

of the climb ( ) and descent ( ).

CHECKLIST/DESTINATION/ALTERNATE SECTION

The final sections of the jet log concern useful information you as an air crewmember should

know about your destination, alternate, and enroute emergency fields. It is mostly self-

explanatory, however, some useful hints follow:

RWY LENGTH - List the length and width of the runway on which you predict you

will land. Utilize the most precise information available (i.e., IFR Enroute

Supplement and/or Approach Plates).
