    Study Notes

    Flight Planning Objectives

    • Flight planning for minimum sector time results in highest fuel consumption
    • Fuel consumption is the overriding consideration, especially when fuel costs are high
    • Planning for highest speed or minimum sector time is not a priority when fuel costs are high
    • Carbon emissions are also a factor, and airlines may be required to offset them by purchasing carbon credits

    Fuel Economy and Minimum Cost

    • Fuel economy is closely related to minimum cost
    • Fuel economy is the major factor for most operators, but a slightly shorter sector time might offset the fuel penalty
    • Minimum cost is the aim of planners, especially in a competitive environment
    • Fuel burn is more important than labor costs, maintenance, and other costs combined

    The Value of the Flight Plan

    • The flight plan establishes the optimum route, altitude, and cruise control procedure for the crew
    • The flight plan predetermines or estimates tracks and distances, speeds and headings, flight times, and fuel consumption
    • The flight plan also plans for contingencies such as terminal weather and engine failure

    Air Traffic Services

    • Co-ordination and integration of flight plans and traffic flows by ATC
    • Co-ordination with other ATS units and assistance in issuing clearances

    Role of the Flight Operations Officer (FOO)/Flight Dispatcher (FD)

    • Determine that the appropriate State and operator departmental authorizations have been obtained
    • Analyze weather to determine if flight can operate
    • Establish aircraft availability and crew availability
    • Determine available payload and make operational decisions
    • Analyze weather, route, and performance data to determine optimum flight trajectory
    • Select alternate airports and prepare the flight plan

    ATC Flight Plan

    • An ATC Flight Plan can only be produced once all planning has been completed and integrated
    • The dispatcher must consider meteorological reports, NOTAMs, aircraft performance, and selection of alternates
    • The process of decision-making when planning flights requires judgment and proficiency

    Flight Preparation

    • Ensure that the flight is planned to meet all safety, legal, economic, and operator requirements
    • Check the technical status of the aircraft, its components, and equipment
    • Prepare an operational flight plan, ATS flight plan, and mass and balance sheet
    • Determine the usability of aerodromes and evaluate possible performance limits

    Minimum Flight Altitudes

    • No flight shall be operated below the minimum safe altitudes, except for take-off/departure or approach/landing
    • Minimum safe altitudes include Minimum En-route IFR Altitude (MEA), Route Minimum Off-Route Altitude (Route MORA), and Grid Minimum Off-Route Altitude (Grid MORA)

    Flight Levels

    • Most flight operations will be carried out using the flight level system
    • Cruising levels to be observed are either published in En-route charts/AIP's or assigned by ATC
    • IFR flights use odd or even flight levels, depending on magnetic track, with 2000 ft or 4000 ft vertical separation

    Altitude Correction

    • When converting minimum altitude into minimum flight level, QNH and/or temperature differences must be accounted for
    • QNH correction is used to adjust for differences in QNH and/or temperature
