1. Fill in Tail #, date.

DETERMINE IF AIRCRAFT IS WITHIN CG LIMITS FOR TAKEOFF

2. (Line 1) Enter Basic weight and moment from sw.myflighttrain.com → Schedules →Click on Tail Number (left column).

3. (Line 2) Total weight of front seat pilots (Instructor + student actual weight).

4. (Line 3) 1 person in back – if applicable (use actual weight).

5. (Line 4) 10 lbs. of baggage.

6. (Line 5) 1st student to fly will assume 38 gal. fuel * 6 lbs./gal. = 228 lbs.

7. (Line 5) 2nd student to fly will assume 21 gal. fuel* 6 lbs./gal. = 126 lbs.

NOTE: Arms are prefilled from POH 6-7: Standard

(Line 2) Front seat: 37 (Line 4) Bags: 95 (Line 3) Back seat: 73 (Line 5,7,9) Fuel: 48

8. Multiply weights by arms, to determine moments.

9. Add weights and moments for Ramp Weight and Ramp Moment (Line 1+2+3+4+5 = Line 6).

10. Divide Ramp Moment by Ramp Weight = RAMP ARM (C.G).

11. Subtract 7 lbs. for Start, taxi and runup fuel (weight): (Line 6 – 7 = Line 8).

12. Subtract 336 moment for start, taxi and runup (moment): (Line 6 – 7 = Line 8).

13. Divide Takeoff Moment by Takeoff Weight = Takeoff Arm (CG).

14. Using CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS graph, determine if takeoff weight and CG are within limits.

DETERMINE IF AIRCRAFT IS WITHIN CG LIMITS FOR LANDING

NOTE: (Line 9) Estimated fuel burn is prefilled 100 lbs., using the following calculations:

• Assume 1.5 hr flight and 8 gal/hr fuel burn (conservative estimate found in AFM

Supplemental Cruise Fuel Consumption tables for 2300 RPM at 2,000ft).

o FAR reserve fuel requirement for Day VFR = 30 min (.5 hr reserve) o Plan for 1.5 hr flight + .5 hr reserve = 2 hrs o 2 hrs at 8 GPH = 16 gal.

o 16 gal = 96 lbs (1 gal = 6 lbs) o Round up to 100 lbs for Estimated Burn

15. Subtract 100 lbs. for fuel burn during flight (weight): (Line 8 – 9 = Line 10).

16. Subtract 4800 moment for fuel burn during flight (moment): (Line 8 – 9 = Line 10).

17. Using CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS graph, determine if landing weight and CG are within limits.

DETERMINE TAKEOFF AND GROUND ROLL

18. For TO Ground Roll, use 180 HP Performance Data Tables on pg 2.

• Don’t forget to read notes (#2 for winds).

• Be sure to use table for next highest conservative AC weight (2550 max or 2400/2200 table).

• Notice TO data assumes Short Field TO (not a procedure used for NIFE) so actual numbers will differ.

• Disregard takeoff speeds (assumes Short Field).

• Use 1,000ft pressure altitude.

19. For Landing Ground Roll, use 180 HP Performance Data Tables on pg 5.

• Don’t forget to read notes (#2 for winds).

• Only one table, assumes max weight and normal landing config (flaps 30).

• V speeds: Enter at bottom of card (should have memorized)

MIDWAY PRACTICE AREA

PNS DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL PROCEDURES 30Nov22

1. PNS Departure Procedures

a. Participating Aircraft must request the “Garcon Transition” from Clearance Delivery.

This indicates a request for the MPA.

b. Tower must enter a flight plan into the FDIO using “NKL” as the destination to identify a Garcon Transition, and issue abbreviated departure instructions for the Garcon Transition.

EXAMPLE-

“Bolo five zero two, maintain VFR via the Garcon Transition, squawk 1234”.

c. Departure frequency is 119.0 unless otherwise advised.

d. P31 must automatically release all “Garcon Transition” departures.

e. Participating Aircraft must depart the traffic pattern as instructed by Tower at 1,000 MSL or below and proceed to Garcon Point (TERZE Waypoint), and then to the northwest corner of the MPA (CROON Waypoint).

f. P31 must provide Class C services to the MPA.

g. Participating Aircraft must remain on assigned beacon code. When instructed, change to frequency 126.85.

2. PNS Arrival Procedures.

a. When leaving the MPA, depart at or above 1,500 MSL and contact P31 on 119.0 with call sign and Garcon Transition. This indicates a request to enter the VFR pattern at PNS.

b. When runway 8 or 17 is in use, P31 must issue Garcon Transition instructions, and update STARS scratchpad #1 using “GAR”

c. When runway 26 or 35 is in use, P31 must vector for the arrival sequence.

d. Tower will issue further instructions to include traffic pattern entry, altitude restrictions, etc.

e. Upon entering downwind to the assigned runway, participating aircraft must descend to pattern altitude.

MIDWAY PRACTICE AREA (MPA) PROCEDURES.

a. Acceptance of the frequency change to the MPA advisory frequency of 126.85 constitutes understanding of a cancellation of flight following without a cancellation of radar identification.

b. Aircraft must remain on the MPA advisory frequency while in the MPA until exiting unless an emergency or other urgent situation exists.

c. Remain on the beacon code originally assigned.

d. Remain within the lateral boundaries of the MPA at or below 3,000 MSL while compliant with minimum altitudes in 14 CFR 91 and suggested altitudes in AC91-36. The Lateral boundaries are shown in Attachment 1 and defined by a boundary starting at:

• 30° 24’ 48”N / 087° 02’ 03”W thence

• 30° 26’ 13”N / 086° 51’ 36”W thence

• 30° 19’ 53”N / 086° 51’ 51”W thence

• 30° 19’ 47”N / 087° 01’ 41”W.

e. Cooperate with other aircraft in the MPA on a “see-and-avoid” basis.

f. Remain outside of NFJ Class D airspace when active.

2. P31 must:

a. Advise Participating Aircraft to change to MPA advisory frequency. This instruction automatically terminates flight following for participating aircraft in the MPA, but does not cancel their radar identification. Therefore, the phraseology, “RADAR SERVICES TERMINATED” will not be used.

b. On a workload-permitting basis, transmit “blanket broadcasts” on MPA advisory frequency when known non-participating aircraft approach or transition the MPA.

c. Transmit “blanket broadcast” when areas of observed weather are approaching the MPA, for emergencies, or for any other reason deemed necessary.

GARCON TRANSITION TO MIDWAY PRACTICE AREA

COURSE RULES

USING KPNS AND NORTHWEST PRACTICE AREA

PNS DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

a. Participating Aircraft must request the “Northwest Practice Area 2,500 ft” from Clearance Delivery utilizing the assigned local tactical call signs. This indicates a request for the NWPA at a requested VFR Altitude.

b. Clearance will provide clearance instructions, squawk code, and departure frequency.

c. Departure frequency is 119.0 unless otherwise advised by PNS ATCT.

d. Participating Aircraft must depart the traffic pattern as instructed by PNS ATCT and proceed to the Northwest Practice Area.

e. P31 will provide Class C services to the Northwest Practice Area.
