Preflight Preparation

Stage 8 1. Preflight Preparation A. Pilot Qualifiontions What would your Instrument rating allow you to do that you are limited as a private pliot? IMC vs IFR? You are planning on flying next weekend, the forecast shows low cellinga and low visiblitties. How do you make sure that you are current for that fight? Would you feel comfortable flying IFR in a steem gauge aircraft? What are your perecnal minimums? B. Weather Information How do you get weather in preparation for a flight? How is the weather for our XC fight? (Departure, en route, destination, alternata] Do we need an alternate airport for today's proposed flight? [regulatory requirements) Icing apenario (Diversion, emergency, approach] Frost. TS [Infight weather resources) Analyze the Implications of at least three of the conditions listed in K3e through Kai above, using actual weather ornweather conditionalna scenerlo provided by the evaluator. [Verify written codes] Go/no-go deolsion. C. Cross-Country Flight Planning Route, eltitude selection, performance. Calculate: ETE/ETA, fuel consumption, fuel reserves (alternate) Flight plen Departure (Take off minimums/oilmb gradients] En route [Navigation] Arrivel [Transition] We get an alroraft with an Inop GPS, how would this affect our fight? Could we attempt the fight? Would you do the fight? II. Proflight Procedures A. Airplane Systems Related to IFR Operations Anti-loing/De-icing equipment Structural, Intake, pitot-statio [PA-28] B. Airplane Füght Instruments and Navigation Equipment Pitot-static [Covered under task. A] Gyroscoplo Magnetio compess VOR [Check, service volume, operation] OPS [Databess, RAIM, WAAS] Autopilot [Engagement, disengagement] C. Instrument Flight Deck Check Required equipment for IFR flight, [GRABCARD] Standby-flight Instrument required under IFR [PA-28] We got an airoraft with COMM2 Inop, how would this affect our flight? Could we attempt the fight? Would you do the fight? III. Air Traffic Control Clearances.and Procedures A. Qormpliance with Air Traffic Control Clearances GRAFT [Controlled/uncontrolled] B. Holding Procedures Holding scenario for XC fight [Arrival] [Entry, standerd/nonstandard, appropriate speeds] Recalculeting fuel reserves (New ETA, low fuel] IV. Flight by Reference to Instrumente A. Instrument Fught/B. Recovery from Unusual Flight Attitudes We execute a missed approach procedure: we Increase power and notice our sirspeed Inoreases, attitude is level, altitude is not Inoressing. We get a fealing of being on a climb. What is happening? How should we correct? ilusion) V. Navigation Systems A. Intercepting and Tracking Navigational Systems and Arcs [Flight] B. Departure, En Route, and Arrival Operations Elemente related to ATC routes, Including departure procedures (DPs) and associated climb gradients; arrival procedures (STARs) and assoolated constraints. [Covered under XC) Failure to use see and avaid techniques when possible. VI. Instrument Approach Procedures A. Nonpreciaton Approach/B. Precision Approach LP/LNAV Descent rates end adjusting minimums in the case of Inoperative equipment. MDA/DA ILS [LOC/GS] C. Missed Approach Fallure to follow prescribed procedures. Faptors that might lead to executing a missed approach procedure before the missed approach point or to a go-around below DA/MDA D. Ciroling Approach Failure to follow prescribed aircling approach procedures. [Ciroling radius/expanded] Losing visual contact with en identifiable part of the airport E. Landing from an Instrument Approach Transition at the DA/DH, MDA, or visual descent point (VDP) to a visual flight condition, allowing for safe visual maneuvering and a normal landing. VII. Emergency Operations A. Loss of Communications $91.186 D. Approach with Loss of Primary Flight Instrument Indicators [Fight]
