Flight Plan
Flight path (made looking at map and Air services Australia website)
Avoided restricted area and mining sites
crossed over towers/buildings but ensure plane was high enough to avoid it
Directions of path was chosen after looking at the direction of runways and wind
Ensured no other aircraft were practising near the route taken
Fuel
Climbing penalty: add 2 minutes for each 1000ft climb
Descending: no penalty
Fuel Rate: 35Lts/hour
Total Fuel:
66Lts
Calculations:
fuel rate/60 (fuel per mins)
time
need to be most efficient so less fuel is required
Calculations:
58mins (estimated flying time) + 55mins (extras)
Total Fuel
: 113mins
Extras:
45 mins reserve fuel + 10m mins taxi fuel (55mins)
Runways (landing and take off)
Takeoff RWY:
25 (to taking off with head wind)
Landing RWY:
01 (to land with head wind)
WIND
Take off:
Weather at Renmark: 240/10kts CAVOK
Landing:
Weather at Murray Bridge: 030/15kts
Final flight plan
Rendmark --> Waikerie
(YREN --> YWKI)
Wind:
240/10kts (from south)
RWY:
25 (to taking off with head wind)
Take off time:
4mins (2 mins x 2 if each 1000ft climb = 2 mins)
Distance:
32NM
Track:
270° T west
Heading:
278.5°M West
magnetic Variation:
9°E
Time =
(d/v) X 60
= (32/110) x 60
therefore
aprox 18 mins
Waikerie --> Murrary Bridge
(YWKI--> YMBD)
Wind:
030/15kts (from NNE when landing)
Landing RWY:
01 (to land with head wind)
Time =
(66/110) X 60
thus, 36mins
Distance:
66NM
Track:
218°T South West
Magnetic Variation:
8 1/2 (8.5) E
Height
Cursing height: 2000 ft
(higher than surrounding obstacles/obstacles in path of flight plan)
