# Recheck Required - [[#Weather Information]] - [[#Cross Country Flight Planning]] - alternate planning - fuel calculations - [[#Approach Procedures]] # Pilot Qualifications - [ ] review [InFO15012](https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/pilots/training/firc/InFO15012.pdf) - you can log the approach "When conducted in an aircraft maneuvering in IMC, and the aircraft transitions from IMC to visual flight conditions on the final approach segment of the IAP prior to or upon reaching MDA or DA/DH" # Cross Country Flight Planning - ==**bad alternate selection**== - route was good - ==**make sure to hand calculate fuel calculations at least so that you can verify the ones on foreflight**== # Weather Information - the reason for understanding why something is a Sierra Airmet is so that it will be announced by ATC - stated moist air and lifting action required for thunderstorms - don't forget about stability - asked about atmospheric stability - review why a moist air parcel could lead to instability when a dry parcel could lead to stable conditions given the same temperatures - the more moisture in the air, the more energy is required to heat / cool it because water requires more energy to change temperature - CIG 003V008 indicates that the ceiling is variable between 300 and 800 feet - UA pirep is routine, UUA is urgent - TRV287011 indicates that the pirep is on the 287 radial from TRV, 11 DME - utilize NOAA imagery legends document in foreflight drive, especially for the surafce, winds, and vis chart - TAFs - TEMPO is not issued for unforecast weather, the TAF is a forecast so it can't forecast something that is not forecasted - MNT on a NOTAM indicates monitored - two people can use a navaid at the same time # Procedures ## Departure Procedures - used NYTES TWO from flight plan - NYTES is fly over because you cannot intercept a heading - don't forget to read the takeoff minimums for the departure procedure ## Approach Procedures - KAGS ILS 35 - Outer Marker: Identifies glideslope intercept or the Final Approach Fix (light flashes blue) - Middle Marker: Identifies decision height (light flashes amber) - Inner Marker: Identifies decision height for a CAT II ILS (light flashes white - we'll talk about what CAT II means below) - [Bold Method: ILS](https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/systems/ils-how-the-instrument-landing-system-works/) - KAGS RNAV GPS 35 - you do not need DME for LPV approach - LPV approach requires WAAS - LNAV / VNAV requires baro aiding altimeter - stated the C in the box around circling meant it had "alternate circling mins" then went to alternate mins page to look up the alternate mins - KASE LOC/DME-E - asked about flying the missed approach procedure # IFR Low - overall good job - review MTA # Systems Related to IFR Operations - good job # Flight Instrument and Navigation Equipment ## Pitot Static System - good job ## Gyroscopic / vacuum instrument system - good job ## G1000 - good job ## VORs - good job ## GPS / WAAS / RAIM / RNAV - good job
