Missed Approach Review

T-6A INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION

CHAPTER SIX

MISSED APPROACH REVIEW

After completing the Before Landing Checklist, but prior to the MAP/DH, ask the IP if a review

of the missed approach/climbout instructions is required. In your review, you should make note

of the following PHA:

Point:

Point at which to execute the missed approach.

Heading:

First heading to turn.

Altitude:

First climb altitude.

The following is an example of a missed approach review.

"In the event of a missed approach, climb runway heading to 800 feet. At 2 DME, turn right

heading 180."

LANDING

One last report is required during the landing roll - the "rollout call." As the aircraft touches

down, reference the airspeed with the runway distance remaining at each 1000 foot marker

(board) and report this to your pilot. Make these calls until the airspeed is below 40 KIAS.

For example, "Five board, 80 KIAS, four board 60 KIAS" until below 40 KIAS.

AFTER LANDING

After exiting the runway, ensure you have your approach plate available to provide taxi

information to the IP on how to proceed to parking.

Complete After Landing and Engine Shutdown Checklists.

CONCLUSION

Your ability to successfully direct a flight through an instrument environment is one of the major

goals of instrument navigation training. All of your academic courses are aimed at providing

you with the tools to do so. For each flight, you must rehearse all your procedures from brief to

debrief. Do this as often as possible until you are 100% proficient with the required procedures

and be able to mentally visualize your route of flight ("chair fly"). This will help you

tremendously as you progress through the flight. The instrument flights will require you to

navigate the aircraft as well as to perform your normal cockpit procedures. As you progress

through the syllabus, there will be less involvement from the instructor and more of a

requirement for you to perform independently. Remember to think of yourself as the mission

commander and act like it. Direct the pilot to do everything. Take charge of each situation and

recommend a solution to conflicts. If your IP doesn't agree with it, he will let you know. The

more proactive you can be as a crewmember, the better your mission commander skills will

become. Someday the safety of you and your aircrew may depend on this training.
