INSTRUMENTS FLIGHT PLANNING

CHAPTER FOUR

Therefore, at time 58+00, you are at your TWO-MINUTE PRIOR point and you should

commence your TWO-MINUTE PRIOR Call. Do not forget to note your fuel and fuel flow.

Now proceed with the call:

"We are two minutes prior to Marianna, outbound heading is 138o for a course of 141o."

"I estimate BRITS at 07+00."

Now analyze the call. Part one is easy. The outbound course is taken directly from the chart;

apply your preflight crab angle from your jet log to get the outbound heading. Part two requires

you to use your jet log ETE to BRITS (seven minutes) and apply that time to your ETA to MAI.

Example: 00+00 plus 7min = 07+00 (predicted ETA at BRITS).
