ENROUTE Chapter 5 Review

Enroute Charts §High Altitude l Above 18000’ l jet routes §Low Altitude l Below 18000’ l Victor airways

Low Altitude Enroute §Victor Airways l Connect VORs, VOR/DMEs, VORTACs l 8 nm wide to 51 nm l 4.5 deg after 51 nm

Chart Altitudes §MEA §MOCA §MAA §OROCA §MRA §MCA

Low Altitude Enroute Chart NOS §Miscellaneous l Blue or Green depicted airports mean same for civilian pilots l Special Use Airspace is charted on Low Altitude Charts l A clearance to cross SUA indicts permission to enter SUA l Most information can be found in legend (End of of Section A)

COMMUNICATIONS §As part of your clearance, a departure frequency is assigned §Switch when advised by tower or clear of local traffic pattern §Pause before transmitting

COMMUNICATIONS §Example: l Kansas City Center l KS24 l off SLN l 2,500 l climbing l 5,000

REPORTING PROCEDURES RADAR/NONRADAR §Anytime l Leaving altitude l Leaving any assigned holding fix l Missed approach l <500 fpm climb/decent l TAS varies>5% or 10 kts l Time & altitude reaching a holding fix l Loss of Nav/Comm(Equip) l Unforecast weather

REPORTING PROCEDURES NONRADAR (position reports) §At required reporting points l I D l P osition l T ime l E levation l E TA next l N ext next

REPORTING PROCEDURES NONRADAR (position reports) §Example l KC center l KS81 l Salina l 1530 l FL300 l HYS 1545 l Lamar next

IFR Altitudes §Hemisphere Rule §From MEA or MOCA to 18000’ l Altitudes are from local altimeter setting l Course 180’ to 359’, Even thousands l Course 360’ to 179’, Odd thousands

IFR Altitudes §Above 18000’ l Flight Levels l Altimeter is set to 29.92”, PA l Sometimes conflicts occur l Altitudes still follow hemisphere rule (End of Chapter 5 Section B)

Holding Procedures §Holding is a waste of time. §Normally issued for spacing

Holding Pattern §Race track shaped pattern §1 Min Inbound legs <14000’ MSL §1 1/2 min > 14000’ MSL §Standard holding pattern is right turns §At Nav facility, intersection, or Radial/DME

Holding Pattern §MAX Holding speed l >14000’, 265 KIAS l 6000’-13999’, 230 KIAS l <6000’, 200 KIAS
