Navigation Training Overview

• High-level navigation

• Low-level navigation– Local low-levels– Off station low-levels

• VFR navigation

• Cross-Country Procedures

• General Knowledge and EP’s

High-level Navigation

• What are your requirements?– Look at your grade sheet

High-level Navigation

• What are your requirements?– Look at your grade sheet

• Plan for emphasis items

High-level Navigation

• What are your requirements?– Look at your grade sheet (duh?)

• Plan for emphasis items fix-to-fix every other sortie (fits nicely with High Pen)Penetration or low-altitude app. for every sortieMinimum 3 instrument approachesPrecision & non-precision every sortieCircle as often as possibleVFR patterns at least twice per block (fits nicely with

VFR sortie or Low Level)

High-level Navigation (cont.)

• Typical Sortie:– DLF-SJT (Hi ILS RWY 3 with holding)

• Vectors NDB 3 circle 18 T&G

• No Gyro ASR RWY 21 SE to SEMA

– SJT-MAF (Full Procedure VOR RWY 16)• Visual Patterns

Low-level Navigation

Low-level Navigation

• Local Low-levels– IR’s – IR 169/149– SR’s - 276– VR’s – 196, 186, 140

Low-level Navigation

• Local Low-levels– IR’s - 169, 149– SR’s - 276– VR’s –196, 186, 140

• Off Station Low-levels– VR 186 (good for out-n-back to LBB/AMA)

Low-level Navigation (cont.)

• Local low-levels– Charts located at duty desk- must be checked

out from duty officer– Routes scheduled duty officer or off-station– Routes are shared with T-38’s and T-6’s– You will build your own chart for 186

Low Levels

• Form 70/Fuel Planning Requirements

• Chart Currency/AP1 and CHUM

VFR Navigation - Planning It

VFR Navigation - Planning It• Build chart similar to low-level

Emergency Procedures

• Builds on foundation established in transition phase of training

• Expect less than VFR conditions

• Don’t forget systems knowledge– Will be tested in the EP– Will be revisited, if weakness in application

during handling of EP’s
