3. DOCUMENTATION

3.1. PREPARATION OF A ROUTING FLIGHT

1) Check the company NOTAM’s if anything new from your last flight 2) Book your flight on the company page on “Pilot Actions -> Book a flight” 3) Note fuel required and the company route 4) Check the weather on https://www.windyty.com/50.645/5.573?49.836,4.955,7 5) If not satisfied with the weather lying on your route, go on

http://onlineflightplanner.org/ and adapt your path

3.2. BASIC FLYING KNOWLEDGE

3.2.1. AERODROME CIRCUIT

Here is the standard procedure to use to make Touch & Go’s at an airfield.

3.2.2. CLIMB

Here is an example of the climb profile with a Jet Aircraft (B757). First you maintain IAS constant, then your Mach Number constant. The change occurs at about 29000 feet (depends on the conditions of the day) and is called the “Cross Over Altitude”.

The idea is:

Thrust setting: MAX CONTINUOUS

Pitch: Adjust to find the correct speed

3.2.3. DESCENT

The most economic descent is:

Thrust setting: IDLE

Pitch: Adjust to arrive at the Initial Approach Fix of your STAR at right altitude and speed.

To minimize the time of descent, first you should maintain your cruise Mach Number constant and when you attain approximately 320 kts IAS, you change over IAS constant. If you are too high, maximize drag and accelerate. If you are too low, minimize drag and decelerate but not below your minimum drag speed (see for each aircraft type).

A good rule of thumb to know from when you should start your descent is:

Ex : FL370 -> Top of Descent at 111 NM from your destination.
