Enclosure (2) to COMDTINST 16798.2
Be able to plot an airborne course - Provide training in course plotting on a sectional chart and
the selection of VFR checkpoints. Use and provide training in using the plotter and E-6B computer
for course plotting. Provide training in time and distance calculations for the course plotted.
Demonstrate positional awareness using an aeronautical chart while airborne -Using the
course plotted from the above requirement provide airborne training to the trainee on how in-flight
positional awareness is maintained on the VFR course plotted.
Electronic navigational aids - Describe the concept and practical usage of each electronic
navigational aid listed. Provide ground and airborne training on navigational aid usage and how to
use the navigational receivers in the aircraft. Conduct training on the following navigational aids:
Non Directional Beacons (NDB)
Instrument Landing System (ILS)
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
Long Range Aids to Navigation (LORAN) (If installed in aircraft)
Global Positioning System (GPS) (If installed in aircraft)
AIRSPACE
Provide training to the trainee on the following types of airspace: Class A, B, C, D, E and G
airspace, Military Operating Areas (MOAs), Restricted Areas, Air Defense Identification
Zones (ADIZ), and Prohibited Areas. Discuss the different types of airspace in terms of
equipment needed to operate in it, pilot qualifications needed to operate in it, and any cloud
clearance and visibility requirements to operate in any particular type of airspace.
CHARTS AND APPROACH PLATES
Sectional Charts - Provide training in the practical use of Sectional charts for VFR flying
concentrating on symbology located on the chart, location of airports and prominent landmarks on
the chart, and in-flight use of the sectional chart.
Low Altitude Enroute Charts - Provide training in the practical use of the Low-Altitude Enroute
Chart concentrating on symbology located on the chart, use of the chart in instrument flight rules
flight planning, and in-flight use of the Low Altitude Enroute Chart.
