INTRODUCTION

This workbook contains general practice problems, exam rules, and information for review prior
to taking the fixed-wing INAV exam. It contains the flight log rules and standardization items
taught in the course and used on the test.

1. Do not use Daylight Savings Time on your takeoff time entry conversion for your DD 175.
Always use the UTC (Z) conversion factor, no matter what time of year it is.

2. The rules for compulsory reporting points are simple. Fixes with solid triangles or solid
navaids on the charts and both ends of direct legs are considered compulsory reporting points in
a nonradar environment. A direct leg is a route between two navaids, two intersections, a navaid
to intersection, or intersection to navaid that does not have a published course, distance, and
altitude.

3. To find the course and distance from your departure point to the first enroute fix, check the
IFR Supplement first; if the information isn't given there, check the Approach Plate; if it isn't
given in these two sources, you must measure course and distance on the Low Altitude Chart.

4. Use cruise altitude, wind data, and fuel flow to compute your leg from the destination IAF
to your alternate IAF.

5. You are expected to know radio designations, frequency ranges, and general characteristics
applicable to the T-34C. You may want to look at the objectives in the INAV Workbook.

6. Rounding procedures: Round miles and minutes off to the nearest whole number for each
calculation (.5 or greater rounds up). Round fuel quantities up. Any fraction over a pound,
round up to the next pound (e.g., 145.2 lbs round up to 146 lbs).

Step 8: Determine your climb and cruise fuel flow using NATOPS.

NOTE

For this class, climb and cruise fuel flow are given in the problem.

Use 300 pph Climb and 250 pph Cruise. Enter on flight log (see Figure 2-11 for an
example).

Step 9: Review route of flight and record each leg on flight log. Using L-18 chart, Enroute
Supplement, and Approach plates, locate entire route. See Figure 2-9.

NOTE

Radar departures are written as direct legs, since route isn’t known
before flight.

a. Rules for leg entries on a flight log:

i. NAVAID to NAVAID, on and off airways.

ii. Course changes of 6° or more on Victor airways.

iii. Both ends of a direct route…anytime the aircraft is not on an airway.

iv. Any mandatory reporting point.

b. Fill in the NAVAID, freq, mag course, and distance:

i. Use the following methods in order to determine course and distance to


the first fix and for direct legs. IF YOU DO NOT…YOU WILL GET
QUESTIONS WRONG ON THE TEST!

1). Enroute Supplement, NAVAIDS section of the airport.

As an example, refer to Key Field (KMEI) in the Enroute


Supplement, near the Meridian VORTAC. If we departed from
Key Field instead of the NAS, it would be 3.8 NM on a course of
317 to the VORTAC.

2). Approach plates; look for feeder/enroute fixes.

As an example, the CRP VORTAC is a feeder fix for the KNGP


TACAN Z RWY 13R (see Figure 2-11).

3). Measure directly off the chart using nearest compass rose and scale.

This is the method used for the first fix in the lecture problem.
229°, 16 NM to the VORTAC from NAS Meridian.

FLIGHT LOG EXPLAINED 2-9


CHAPTER TWO INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES FLIGHT PLANNING

4). Plot the point on the enroute chart.

a). Determine the point’s radial and DME from the defining
NAVAID.

b). Plot the point on the appropriate enroute chart using the nearest
compass rose and scale.

c). Now, measure the course to and distance to from the last point
directly off the chart using nearest compass rose and scale.

Use the KNSE TACAN RWY 23 (Figure 2-12) to define TROJN.

ii. For legs on airways use the courses and distances defined.

Step 10: Determine compulsory reporting points for nonradar environment (Refer to FIH,
Position Reporting). Mark with solid triangle in the “ROUTE TO” box.

a. Both ends of a direct route

b. Solid triangle or solid NAVAID at a fix

STOP: Check your flight log with the one on page 2-12 (Figure 2-13) to verify it.

Step 11: Compute climb and cruise ground speed using CR-2 wind side. As a habit, calculate
climb and cruise GS for both 1st and 2nd legs; this will save time later.

Input on far right of jet log in NOTES section.

a. Using computed GS for the climb or cruise as appropriate, compute time to first
fix. Compare with TTC of 10 min calculated earlier.

7 min (to first fix) < 10 min (TTC); therefore, we will level off 3 min into the
second leg.

Refer to step 11, b (iii).

2-12 FLIGHT LOG EXPLAINED


T-34C INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES FLIGHT PLANNING CHAPTER TWO

b. Three possibilities concerning level off:

i. Crossing the fix at level off

ii. Reaching cruise altitude prior to the fix

iii. Reaching cruise altitude after first fix (as in this problem)

c. Compute split leg – We know that 3 min of 2nd leg is climbing. Use climb GS
for 2nd leg (ironically 145 KIAS due to small course change) to calculate
distance traveled in 3 min. Use CR-2.

Dist in climb for 3 min = 7 nm

CHAPTER TWO INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES FLIGHT PLANNING

d. Compute Fuel required for these legs using climb and cruise burn rates. When
calculating fuel, always round up.

e. Using Cruise TAS and winds, calculate GS for each subsequent leg on the flight
log.

Step 12: Compute ETE and fuel for each leg using the rate side of the CR-2.

Step 13: Calculate EFR for each leg and compute total distance, ETE, and fuel for destination
and alternate.

Step 14: Complete alternate, route, alt, time, and fuel line of jet log.

For fuel entry, use EFR (533 lbs) at destination IAF and convert to fuel remaining
in burn time using CR-2 and cruise burn rate.

In this example: 533 lbs =2 hrs, 8 min or 2+08. Enter this on the flight log.

Step 15: Complete T-34 fuel plan using flight log information.

In this example: for #5, RES 10% of #4 (min 20 mins), compare line 4 to 20 min
of max endurance fuel burn (OPNAV 3710 req, also burn rate of 168 lbs/hr max
endurance is given in problem and can be calculated from NATOPS).

Pick the larger of the 2 numbers.

STOP: Use the flight log (Figure 2-15) and fuel plan (figure 2-16) to verify your flight log.

Step 16: Complete cross checks to ensure your calculations are correct.

a. Add your fuel burned to your fuel remaining and ensure you have the fuel you
started with.

In this example: 252 lbs+533 lbs =785 lbs

b. Add your time to the destination IAF to the fuel calculation in step 14. This
should be greater than 3+00.

In this example: 0+58=2+08=3+06.
