Plan a VFR flight from Red Bluff Airport to Placerville Airport using only pilotage & de’d reckoning, utilizing the information given below. Estimated Time of Departure: April 04 at 1700Z

You will submit your completed Nav Log form along with the last page of this handout, which contains questions about your flight that must be answered.

Use only the weather observations and forecasts given below for your performance calculations.

Select visual checkpoints along your route that are between 10-20 miles apart. If you need two Nav Log forms, then use two Nav Log forms (one should be sufficient, but it is up to you).

Fill out the Navigation Log form: Don’t forget to list airport elevations, airport traffic pattern altitudes (TPA), all airport frequencies including center/approach/departure control freq’s, Flight Service Station (FSS) freq’s, and any ATIS/AWOS/ASOS freq’s.

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THIS ASSIGNMENT FORM AFTER YOU HAVE COMPELTED ALL OF YOUR FLIGHT PLANNING.

Flight Planning Information:

Aircraft: Cessna 172N FAA Aircraft Registration Number: N1234A

Aircraft Weight: Assume aircraft is at MGW (2,300 lbs) when loaded with passengers, fuel & baggage, prior to departure.

Rate of Climb (ROC) to be used after departure, while climbing to cruise altitude: 500 FPM

Rate of Descent (ROD) to be used to descend from cruise altitude to traffic pattern altitude (TPA) for destination airport: 500 FPM

Cruise Power Setting: 2,400 RPM, mixture leaned

Cruise Altitude: Select an appropriate VFR cruising altitude below 10,000 MSL, based upon your magnetic course (MC), that meets the requirements of FAR 91.159

Fuel Reserve: Include in your Nav Log any additional fuel you are required to carry to meet the requirements of FAR 91.151 for this flight.
