Study Notes
Flight Planning Key Points
-
Cloud Type with Jet Stream: Ragged cirrus clouds typically form in conjunction with jet streams due to atmospheric disturbances.
-
Critical Point Change with Tailwind: When flying with a tailwind, the critical point will move closer to the departure airport, affecting flight planning and calculations.
-
ADF Inaccuracy Mitigation: To reduce inaccuracies in Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) readings, maintain an angle greater than 30 degrees from the coastline.
-
Cockpit Management System Exclusions: The Cockpit Management System (CMS) does not incorporate the cabin pressurization system, focusing instead on flight-related functions.
-
Lenticular Cloud Formation: Lenticular clouds generally appear below the crest of waves in the atmosphere, often indicative of high winds and turbulence.
-
Position Reporting Requirements: In high-level airspace, position reporting is mandatory every 10 degrees south of 75 degrees latitude, ensuring effective air traffic management.
-
Computerized Flight Plan Queries: Examples of variables in a computerized flight plan include a flight level of B.fl230 and a tailwind speed of 3 knots, highlighting the importance of precise data entry.
