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).

CHAPTER ONE
HOMEWORK: DD 175 PRACTICE PROBLEMS
NOTE
You will need two double-sided DD 175s for this homework. Put
one flight plan on each DD 175.
1. Plan to depart Cairns AAF at 1300 local standard time via the HOUND-ONE
DEPARTURE to HOUND intersection, V241 to Eufaula, V323 to Macon (IAF) for a VOR
RWY 15 to Robins AFB, GA. Altitude 17,000, TAS 210, ETE 1+20. Alternate Eglin AUX #3,
ETE 1+10.
2. Plan to depart Robbins AFB, GA at 1600 local standard time direct to Vienna, V243 to
Craig, direct to BENGE (IAF) for a TACAN RWY 23 to Navy Mayport. Altitude 11,000, TAS
190, ETE 0+53. No alternate required.
3. Plan to depart Navy Mayport at 1800 local standard time via radar departure to Craig,
V198 to PENSI, direct to TROJN (IAF) for a TACAN RWY 5 to North Whiting Field. Altitude
14,000, TAS 205, ETE 1+30. No alternate required. Request 15 minute holding delay at CEW.
4. Stopover F/P
Plan to depart North Whiting at 2000 local standard time via IFR climb on course to ROMEK,
V115 to Montgomery, direct to the IAF for a TACAN RWY 15 into Maxwell AFB, AL.
Altitude 9000, TAS 185, ETE 0+40. Alternate Dannelly Field, ETE 0+05. After refueling
continue to Pensacola NAS.
Plan to depart Maxwell AFB, AL at 2130 local standard time direct to Montgomery, V20 to
Semmes, direct to SIDNY (IAF) for a TACAN RWY 7R to Pensacola NAS. Altitude 12,000,
TAS 200, ETE 1+05. Alternate North Whiting Field, ETE 0+10.
LECTURE PROBLEM
NOTE
Step 2: Examine departure weather and determine if takeoff minimums are met. See
chapter five of OPNAVINST 3710.7 (series) (OPNAV 3710).
a. Select the lowest published mins for an approach you can shoot for the runway
in use. See Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for example mins.
i. Precision 200 - 1/2 but not less than published mins (below).
ii. Non Precision 300 - 1 but not less than published mins (below).
c. Compare mins for all approaches that you can shoot at your departure field
(Radar and NAVAID).
NON-PREC PRECISION
LOC 400 - ½ PAR 19L 100 - ¼
ASR 400 - 1 1L 200 - ½
1R 200 - ¾
19R 200 - ¾
LOWEST 400 - ½ LOWEST 100 - ¼
OPNAV REQ 300 - 1 OPNAV REQ 200 - ½
NON-PREC MIN 400 - 1 PREC MIN 200 - ½
2000 – 3 is above published mins of 500 - 1, but less than 3000 - 3. An alternate is required and
we must add 300 - 1 to the alternate published mins to comply with OPNAV 3710.
i. Terminal Forecast
iii. NOTAMS
NOTE
b. Set up an alternate selection chart (Figure 2-8) based on forecast wx, published
mins, OPNAV 3710 requirements, and approach remarks.
NSE forecast 800–2>700–2 wx requirement and is the only one to meet all
requirements. Possible remarks are ANA., A, or NOTAMS.
e. NSE is the alternate. Copy elev and freq onto flt log.
b. Use CR-2 with Climb IAS, AVG Alt, Temp, and Calc TAS=135 knots in
Climb. Enter on flight log.
b. Round to nearest 100 feet and divide by climb rate (given) = 15,700/1500.
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.
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.
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.
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.
STOP: Check your flight log with the one on page 2-12 (Figure 2-13) to verify it.

ALTERNATE
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.
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.
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.

26 7
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).
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.
b. Add your time to the destination IAF to the fuel calculation in step 14. This
should be greater than 3+00.
