An additional consideration exists for aircraft cruising in the flight levels. Most flight planning software will calculate the 30-45 minutes required at planned cruise flight, when more than likely you will not reach those same altitudes during a diversion. I typically cruise the airplanes IO-520 at around 13 gph.

Not only are we making checks on equipment and systems, but we’re also confirming our proficiency to fly the airplane. Before you start checking for correct operation of the systems, you need to verify that the airplane is airworthy. Airspace : Check NOTAMs, TFRs, survival equipment. Is the weather within your personal minimums?

It encourages you to slow down and consider every aspect of your flight. With this handy checklist, flight planning becomes a structured, manageable process. The PAVE checklist is most effective during pre-flight preparation. Terrain and NOTAMs Weather isnt the only thing you have to consider. What do NOTAMs do?

Universal Trip support is available 24 hours a day to assist with flight planning and dispatch functions. In airline operations, dispatchers file flight plans, verify weight and balance in coordination with the load planner, and obtain weather information that is compiled and presented to the crew.

Landing an airplane is not easy, even for experienced pilots. Plan for the Conditions During your flight planning: Look up the expected winds at your estimated arrival time. However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B.
