3. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
The Flight Planning and Monitoring phase of the course is the most practical, apart from Mass and Balance.
The course includes topics such as:
CAP 697- JAR Flight Planning Manual
Jeppesen Student Airway Manual
Meteorological Practical
Point of Equal Time and Point of Safe Return

4. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
To assist operators and pilots, each countries aviation authorities produce a range of flight planning documentation.
The chart producers (Jeppesen) take this material and produce their flight guides.
The two main items of documentation you need to know about for Flight Planning are the:
Aeronautical Information Package (AIP) and
Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs).

5. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
AIP is split into 3 main sub-sections:-
GEN
General – ICAO rule differences, Meteorological services and Search & Rescue information
ENR
En-route – Full details of restricted airspace and navigation aids AD
Aerodromes – Data, Layouts & Approaches
Though the AIP is updated on a monthly basis the information contained in it is considered to be reasonably fixed.

6. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
NOTAMs is a system to notify pilots of any temporary or short-term changes.
Pilots must refer to NOTAMs to find out what might affect their flight.
E.g. Royal Flights, unserviceable navigation aids, runway closures etc.

7. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
In the CAP 697, most of the graphs and tables are referenced to in Nautical Air Miles (NAM).
This is the distance flown at the TAS for a given time.
When there is no wind component along the route that the aircraft is flying, the distance flown in NAM will be equal to the distance flown over the ground, Nautical Ground Miles (NGM).
However, the aircraft rarely encounters days when there is no wind effect.

8. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
With a headwind component, the NAM will be greater than the NGM.

9. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
With a tailwind component, the NAM will be less than the NGM.

10. Introduction to Flight Planning & Monitoring
Use this simple formula to calculate the relationship:
NGM = NAM X GROUNDSPEED / TAS
In some cases you will be given the wind component.
Obtaining the groundspeed from the wind component is simple.
Where a plus component is given, add the wind component to the TAS.
Where a minus component is given, subtract it from the TAS.

However, you might be required to calculate the nautical ground miles (NGM) covered in the climb or descent, but you have only been given an IAS not the TAS.
The easy way to calculate the NGM in a climb or descent when a TAS is not given is to use the formula:
NGM = NAM + (TIME x WIND COMPONENT)
It is always useful to apply some gross error check before hitting calculator keys. E.g.
If you are climbing or descending into a headwind (-) then you must cover LESS distance over the ground and visa-versa.
