• Proficiency when using the CR3 computer.
• Integrate weather restrictions as well as environmental conditions into the flight plan.
• Prepare the map with weather requirements and limitations.
• Demonstrate awareness of hazards

Necessary equipment to complete the task.

• CR3 computer
• Protractor
• Dividers or other measuring item
• WAC map (3219) Townsville
• AIP

Flight Planning Information.

You plan to fly from Cairns airport to Chillagoe airport to Innisfail airport returning to Cairns airport during daylight hours on any day in the month of Apr 2023. Choose your departure time.

LEG

1 : Meteorological conditions for the 1st Leg from Cairns to Chillagoe are:

CAVOK throughout the first leg, Winds (find the wind direction and speed at your chosen flight level as per forecast on the date of your flight); Given conditions for this exercise are Area QNH 1009, temperature deviation ISA +4° for your selected altitude.

During the flight planning stage, you are required to calculate the following details.

1. Desired track true.

2. Chosen Altitude to fly and Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA).

3. Nominate two important geophysical features en-route.

4. Drift angle.

5. Heading true.

6. Heading magnetic.

7. Groundspeed.

8. Estimated time interval Cairns - Mareeba

9. Estimated relative magnetic bearing to Mareeba when Mareeba is abeam to your track (true).

10. Time interval.

11. EoD.

12. Planned departure time UTC

2: Meteorological conditions for the 2nd leg from Chillagoe to Innisfail are:

CAVOK throughout the second leg, Winds (find the wind direction and speed at your chosen flight level as per forecast on the date of your flight); Given conditions for this exercise are: Area QNH 1007, (OAT) temperature ISA -3° for your selected altitude.

During the flight planning stage calculate

1. Chosen Altitude to fly and Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA).

2. Actual Temperature of the selected altitude

3. Pressure height at the selected altitude

4. Desired track magnetic

5. Heading magnetic

6. Drift/Groundspeed

7. Estimated time interval Chillagoe - Herberton

8. Assuming you depart Chillagoe at 1422K, calculate ETA Innisfail UTC

3. Meteorological conditions for the 3rd leg from Innisfail to Cairns are:

CAVOK throughout the third leg, Winds (find the wind direction and speed at your chosen flight level as per forecast on the date of your flight); Given conditions for this exercise are: Area QNH 1010, (OAT) temperature -2°C for your selected altitude.

During the flight planning stage calculate

1. ISA temperature at selected altitude

2. Nominate an important geophysical feature en-route.

3. Desired track true

4. Desired track magnetic

5. Heading magnetic

6. Heading true

7. Drift/groundspeed

8. Estimated time interval Innisfail – Gordonvale.

9. Chosen Altitude to fly and Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA).

10. Using the previously estimated ETA Innisfail as departure time Innisfail, ETA Cairns UTC and AEST.
