How do I create a Navlog?

Creating a Navigation Log

1. Mark the course on the sectional.
2. Decide on and mark checkpoints.
3. Using your plotter, measure distances between the checkpoints and enter in the Nav Log.
4. Decide on appropriate cruise altitude and enter in Nav Log.
5. Check DUATS.
6. Using your flight computer, calculate the cruise density altitude.

What is GS on flight plan?

Ground Speed, GS For navigation, i.e. movement over the ground, we need the speed of the aircraft over the ground. And as True airspeed (TAS) is the airspeed corrected for all mechanical, position, compressibility and density errors this is the speed we need to use when calculating ground speed for navigation.

How far apart should VFR checkpoints be?

Towards the beginning of your route, each checkpoint should be about 5-10 miles apart. As you reach cruise flight, you can begin extending the distances between checkpoints, up to 20 miles per checkpoint. Generally speaking, the smaller the point, the closer it needs to be for you to spot it.

How do you make a cross country flight plan?

Planning a VFR Cross-Country Flight

1. Choose Your Route.
2. Get a Weather Briefing.
3. Choose an Altitude and Cruise Profile.
4. Compute Airspeed, Time, and Distance.
5. Familiarize Yourself With the Airport.
6. Double-Check Your Equipment.
7. Get an Updated Briefing.
8. File a Flight Plan.

What happened to Duats?

The Direct User Access Terminal System (DUATS), which has been providing weather services for pilots since 1989 shut down as of May 16, 2018, since the contract between FAA and CSRA has expired (part of a cost-saving measure at the FAA.)

What is G in aviation?

‘G’ is the ratio between a given acceleration and the acceleration due to gravity. Thus, an acceleration of 98.1 m/sq sec would be 10 G. High sustained G, that the modern day combat aircraft are capable of, is G forces of 7G or more sustained for 15 seconds or more.
