September 2020. Cross-Country Flight Planning. Objective. To ensure the applicant learns the elements of cross-country IFR flight planning and can plan and execute an IFR cross country that takes into account regulatory requirements, and considers pilot, aircraft, and equipment capabilities.
The groundspeed divided by 2 and mul-tiplied by 10 = the rate of descent. 120/2 = 60 X 10 = 600 fpm descent. This descent rule will result in a 3-degree glide path for the descent. The nice thing about this rule is that it works for jet, turbo prop, reciprocating, pressurized and non-pressurized aircraft.
Flight planning is your flight on paper. Every detail of your route can be planned. Fuel, Time, Distance and Diverts and key factors. EXTERNAL PRESSURES. The pilot must evaluate the three previous areas to decide on the desirability of under-taking or continuing the flight as planned.
