Written Assessment
Task Description
This assessment is designed to strengthen your understanding of flight planning and navigation.
In order to achieve this you will need to:
Use maps and flight computer along with computations learned throughout this course to plan a flight to given points and back to the starting .
Integrate weather restrictions as well as environmental conditions in to the flight plan
prepare the map with course headings to use and ground speeds. Include distance estimates between points.
Your map and flight plan must be produced in electronic format (either as (a) a single page word-processed document, (b) single page Publisher document saved in a pdf format, or (c) as a single PowerPoint slide saved in a pdf format) and should be submitted through the assessment link in Moodle, by uploading your file following the on-screen instructions. Note; that all submissions are processed through the similarity detection software (called Turnitin), hence the requirement to submit the Publisher or Powerpoint documents as pdf files. You must ensure that all of the work is your own, in line with University requirements.
Assessment Criteria
Successfully plan flight according to requirements in Tutorial 9 exercise. Using information from the slides you will plan the proposed flight from point A to B to C and back to point A. The map is also in Week 7 Tutorial. This exercise will give you practice in flight planning navigation using the flight computer and maps. You will be assessed on a Pass/Fail grading. The main purpose of this assessment is to assess your ability to do the tutorial. Each heading, airspeed, and minute off will result in a percent taken off. A minimum of 50% correct on all headings, airspeed, and minutes combines. Example: Correct heading from point A to B is 357.5. If your answer is 355.5 two points are detracted. Answers will be rounded to the half degree, whole knots, and half NM.
