What kind of chart is used for initial flight planning. I'm familiar with approach charts, SIDS, Stars. But what kind of chart is used for planning and plotting the route used
I'm thinking about splitting out 'Flight Planning' as a separate article, in order to cover the complications involved in calculating a 'Flight Plan' (the current article). Comments? Murray Langton 10:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article currently only provides details of US domestic flight plans, and the 'Flight planning' article merely redirects to this one.
I propose splitting this into three articles, and then expanding each article considerably:
'Flight plan': moderate detail on four types of flight plan, including US domestic, other air traffic control plan, pilot plan with detailed routing and fuel consumption figures, navigation plan for use by onboard navigation computer/automatic pilot.
'Flight planning': general outline of requirements, safety regulations, airway routes, physical constraints, weather and other factors to take into account, etc. plus other optional features of current flight planning systems.
'Flight planning glossary': there at least 80 specialised words or phrases which can be explained. Some of these may already have a separate article, but the bulk only require a sentence or two of explanation and hardly justify a separate article.
I estimate that the above rewrite will take one to two months.
Hi, Murray. I propose the section titled SIDS and STARS be retitled Terminal Procedures and also include Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) which can be used instead of SIDS or STARS. Also, this might be the appropriate place to discuss precision and non-precision approach. Intrepidwerx (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking in separate the current Flight Plan article in different articles as follow:
Filled Flight PlanorFPL: Form filled with the information of a flight mainly related to its safety in order to suveil it during its progress (referred in this article)
Operational Flight PlanorOFP: Document used aboard the aircraft, related to the fuel consumption and other data concernin the airline or company.
I have just modified one external link on Flight plan. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
