NAVIGATION SUMMARY

NAVIGATION PREPARATION : D-1 NAVIGATION PREPARATION : H-2

✓ Draw WPT circle + legs line + 10° drift line ✓ Take weather in STD brief from flight plan
✓ Draw the doghouses and fuel circles ✓ Calculate TAS at each altitude used (CRP5)
✓ Measure True Track + Magnetic Track ✓ Calculate Mag HDG + GS for each leg (CRP5)
✓ Measure Distance + Altitude + MSA ✓ Complete doghouses with Magnetic HDG
✓ Complete three bottom cases of doghouse ✓ Write Wind Vector and max drift on charts
and Nav Logs waypoint table ✓ Complete Nav Logs waypoint table with
✓ Complete Nav Logs Frequencies + Nav Aids Wind + HDG (T) + HDG (M) + GS + Leg Time
✓ Check Special Areas and relevant Airports ✓ Complete Nav Logs fuel table + fuel circle
✓ Prepare Flight Plan on 1800wxbrief ✓ File Flight Plan on 1800wxbrief
