High-level Navigation What are your requirements? –Look at your grade sheet (duh?) Plan for emphasis items (fix-to-fix every other sortie (fits nicely with High Pen) (Penetration or low-altitude app. for every sortie (Minimum 3 instrument approaches (Precision & non-precision every sortie (Circle as often as possible (VFR patterns at least twice per block (fits nicely with VFR sortie or Low Level)

Low-level Navigation

Local Low-levels –IR’s – IR 169/149 –SR’s –VR’s – 196, 186, 140

Low-level Navigation Local Low-levels –IR’s - 169, 149 –SR’s –VR’s –196, 186, 140 Off Station Low-levels –VR 186 (good for out-n-back to LBB/AMA)

Low-level Navigation (cont.) Local low-levels –Charts located at duty desk- must be checked out from duty officer –Routes scheduled duty officer or off-station –Routes are shared with T-38’s and T-6’s –You will build your own chart for 186
