Plates -
Study before flight to practice briefs and approaches -
This will make your briefs easier and you will fly a better approach E. TACAN
Approaches -
A nonprecision approach - Uses a terminal TACAN NAVAID for
azimuth and range information -
The Plan View and Profile Track depicted on the approach plate provide
the required courses and altitude restrictions necessary to execute the
published approach -
Can be initiated from low or high altitudes -
Remember, the aircraft must be in the landing configuration with the
Landing Checklist completed prior to the Final Approach Fix INTRODUCE ITEMS A. NFO
Responsibilities See

Coordination Communications
-
Self-explanatory C. Jet Log -
All ANAV and OFT routes will be prepared with Jet Cards adjusted for
winds - You can pick your winds for OFTs, a good idea is to make is so that the winds aloft are opposite to the direction of your supposed take off runway.
-
Learn to not rely on your jet card D. DD-175 -
Fill out as taught in ground school E. Equipment
Operation -
Self-explanatory F. Scan See

Communication Procedures See
Communications and Checklists Section H. Departure -
Call Departure after Cruise Checklist -
Call 500 ft prior to level off, get outside air temperature, make sure
pilot levels off -
Compute IAS for 210 TAS and instruct the pilot accordingly I. Altitude
Selection
-
Use hemispheric rules J. En
Route Course Control -
Always know where you are, situational awareness is critical in
instrument flight -
Maintain within 4 NM of course and fixes K. Turn

Estimates -
Both cockpit clocks will be synchronized during the Instrument Checklist -
Get a ground speed check as soon as possible -
Be as accurate as possible with MOT and time estimate values -
You can no longer update your estimates within two minutes of your point -
Estimates may be updated as often as possible M. Fuel
Management Analysis -
Fuel quantity and fuel estimates are to be calculated to the nearest 5
lbs -
Learn to spin your fuels, do not just work off your jet card -
Estimates may be updated as often as possible N. Point-To-Point
Navigation -
Use the pencil method or the CR-2 method as taught in class -
You may make heading, fuel, and time estimate updates as much as
possible O.
METRO/ATIS Evaluation
-
Contact ATIS within 100 nm of ground travel to your destination -
Contact METRO if there is not an ATIS or if you want to find out how/if
the weather is expected to change for your destination P. Holding
-
Slow within 3 minutes prior to the fix -
Accomplish the Holding Brief prior to the hold Q. TACAN
