Basic Navigation

Overview & Purpose

    Introduce student to basic navigation principles.

 

Education Standards

 

    1. Student will learn about courselines, headings, and
    reciprocals.
    2. Student will be introduced to VOR,VFR Tacan and Lat Long
    standard.
    3. Student will learn about DME arcs and usages.
    4. Student will learn about HSI and SA page settings and
    functions.

 

Objectives

 

    1. Student will plan a course of no more then four waypoints
    leading from the runway then back to an inbound course.
    2. Student will incorporate a 10 nm DME arc to their flight
    plans.
    3. Student will successfully land while performing all needed
    steps of the overhead break within tolerances.
    4. Student will demonstrate proper comms during the entirety
    of flight.

 

Verification

 

    1. Mentor will ensure student waypoints ensure a safe flight
    plan.
    2. Mentor will verify successful DME arc.
    3. Mentor will ensure student is able to successfully employ
    all steps of the overhead break.
    4. Mentor will monitor all airfield procedures and etiquette,
    including comms.
    5. Tolerances for altitude during flight - +/- 500 Feet AGL.
    Tolerances for speed - +/- 25 knots. Tolerances for
    altitude during overhead break - +/- 200 Feet AGL.
    Tolerances for speed - +/- 10 knots.

 

Activity

 

    Mentor should start by walking the student through the HSI and
    all the functions therein. Mentor will also demonstrate and
    explain f10 map functions and Lat Long standard. Follow the
    student along the flight plan and ensure a safe flight.
