Those outside 400 miles are given if specifically requested by the pilot. NOTAMS ? An integral part of the NOTAM system is the Notices to Airmen Publication published every four weeks. –Once published, these NOTAMs are not given to pilots in weather briefings unless specifically requested by the pilot. – “Remember to ask for published NOTAMS ” Flight Information Publications ? AIM – For review of current procedures and changes ? Navigation Log – Have a flow ? Aircraft logbooks – For transponder, pitot/static, altimeter, and VOR check currency ? Use Latest Issue of Aeronautical Charts – IFR Enroute Charts: 56 days – IFR Approach Charts: 56 day cycle Weather Considerations By the time you are ready to receive a standard briefing from Flight Service, you should already have some idea about the weather hazards along your route of flight and conditions at your destination. PreFlight Briefing ? Preflight Briefing Objective: “… municate a “picture” of meteorological and aeronautical information necessary for the conduct of a safe and efficient flight.” ? Preflight Briefing request should include… – Type of flight planned (IFR or VFR) – Name or aircraft number – Aircraft type – Departure Airport – Arrival Airport Weather Charts ? Good start is Weather Depiction –Bird’s eye view of categorical outlooks ? Surface Analysis –Frontal movements ? Radar and Satellite images ? Area Forecasts ? Icing Level Altitude Selection ? Based on: –MEA –ATC assigned lowest available IFR altitude –Highest altitude without oxygen –Winds, turbulence, and ice . ? 167。 Minimum altitudes for IFR operations – (a) Operation of aircraft at minimum altitudes. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below – ? (1) The applicable minimum altitudes prescribed in parts 95 and 97 of this chapter。 or ? (2) If no applicable minimum altitude is prescribed in those parts – – (i) In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area in part 95, an altitude of 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown。 or – (ii) In any other case, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown. 14 CFR ? Minimum Altitudes for IFR Operations ? Applicable minimums –Mountainous (2023’AGL / 4nm) –Other (1000’AGL / 4nm) – MEA / MOCA / 22nm ? Climb to higher minimum immediately, or MCA designated – (we’ll cover this in more detail in Enroute operations) . ? 167。 IFR cruising altitude or flight level – (a) In controlled airspace. Each person operating an aircraft under IFR in level cruising flight in controlled airspace shall maintain the altitude or flight level assigned that aircraft by ATC. However, if the ATC clearance assigns “VFR conditions on top” that person shall maintain an altitude or flight level as prescribed by 167。. – (b) In uncontrolled airspace. Except while in a holding pattern of 2 minutes or less or while turning, each person operating an aircraft under IFR in level cruising flight in uncontrolled airspace shall maintain an appropriate altitude as follows: ? (1) When operating below 18,000 feet MSL – – (i) on a magic course of zero degrees through 179 degrees, any odd thousand foot MSL altitude – (ii) on a magic course of 180 degrees through 359 degrees, any even thousand foot MSL altitude.
