Planning Issues to Consider CYOO to CNY3

From CYOO to CNY3 do we go in a straight line? How high?

At takeoff, in what direction are first enroute landmarks?

How are they oriented to other landmarks, roads, tracks, etc? Can we find airports? How are they oriented to other landmarks, roads, tracks, etc?

C150 CRUISE PERFORMANCE CHART enroute speed and power choices Headwind or tailwind Long or short trip

Completion of FLIGHT PLANNING LOG and preparation of enroute log

How high and what route? About 65 miles About 40 minutes @ 90 knots 10 minutes climb and 10 minutes descent would be half the flight! Plane flies best in cruise with best view. Climb is high power - poor view. The end of a large distant landmark is better than a small precise landmark you can’t find. Keep legs simple – AVOID BEING BUSY

CYOO real path to CNY3

Depart zone North off runway into 010o wind

Departure angle check ! Are track and visible landmarks at correct angles?

Arrival path to CNY3 Collingwood

Winds at 3000 are 060o. Will they back to 350o with the lake?

…… or will they continue to veer to 080o or even 100o …… or will they continue to veer to 080o or even 100o. You need to know before New Lowell!
