Departure and Enroute Procedures Exam
Departure and Enroute Procedures Exam
The **Departure and Enroute Procedures Exam** focuses on IFR operations from takeoff to the enroute phase, ensuring safe navigation, compliance with regulations, and effective use of ATC instructions. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you prepare:
1. IFR Departure Procedures
- **Clearances:**
- Ensure you understand the full IFR clearance before departure (CRAFT).
- Example: “Cleared to [destination] as filed, climb and maintain [altitude], departure frequency [frequency], squawk [code].”
- **Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs):**
- Designed to ensure obstacle clearance.
- Typically involve specific headings, altitudes, or climb gradients.
- Published graphically or textually in terminal procedures.
- **Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs):**
- Provide transition from takeoff to the enroute phase.
- Reduce radio communication and manage traffic flow.
- Types: Vector SIDs (ATC-provided headings) and pilot navigation SIDs (pilot flies published route).
- **Climb Gradients:**
- Standard: 200 feet per nautical mile.
- Increased gradients will be specified in the departure procedure.
2. ATC Communications
- **Departure Calls:**
- Contact the appropriate ATC facility as directed in the clearance (e.g., tower, departure).
- Example: “Departure, [Callsign], passing [altitude] for [assigned altitude].”
- **Amendments and Revisions:**
- Be ready to receive changes to routing, altitudes, or clearances.
- **Lost Communications:**
- Follow the "AVEF-AME" rule:
- **Route:** Assigned, Vectored, Expected, Filed.
- **Altitude:** Assigned, Minimum enroute altitude, Expected.
3. Enroute Procedures
- **Navigation:**
- Use approved navigation systems (VOR, RNAV/GPS) as per the flight plan.
- Verify waypoints and ensure adherence to airways or direct routing.
- **Altitude Selection:**
- Comply with hemispheric altitude rules for IFR:
- Magnetic course 000°–179°: Odd thousands (e.g., 5,000, 7,000 ft).
- Magnetic course 180°–359°: Even thousands (e.g., 6,000, 8,000 ft).
- **Minimum Enroute Altitudes (MEAs):**
- Provide obstacle clearance and navigation signal coverage.
- Identify MEAs and other altitudes (MOCA, MAA, MRA) on enroute charts.
- **Holding Procedures:**
- Follow holding instructions, including:
- Fix, radial/course, direction, leg length or timing, altitude, and EFC time.
4. Enroute Charts and Symbology
- **Key Chart Features:**
- Airways (e.g., Victor and Jet routes).
- Navaid information (frequency, location, and range).
- Fixes, waypoints, and intersections.
- Minimum altitudes (MEA, MOCA, MAA).
- **Special Use Airspace:**
- Restricted areas, prohibited areas, MOAs, and ATC coordination requirements.
5. Weather Considerations
- **Icing and Turbulence:**
- Monitor freezing levels and avoid adverse weather.
- **Winds Aloft:**
- Use forecasts for efficient altitude selection and fuel planning.
- **Diversion Planning:**
- Be prepared to reroute for weather or other factors.
6. Fuel and Alternate Requirements
- **IFR Fuel Rules (91.167):**
- Sufficient fuel to:
- Reach the destination.
- Fly to the alternate (if required).
- Fly an additional 45 minutes at normal cruise.
- **Alternate Airport Planning:**
- Consider destination and enroute weather minima.
7. ATC and Pilot Responsibilities
- **Position Reports:**
- Required in non-radar environments at compulsory reporting points.
- Include:
- Aircraft ID.
- Position.
- Time.
- Altitude.
- Next fix and ETA.
- Following fix.
- **Amended Clearances:**
- Respond promptly and read back changes to routing or altitude.
8. Emergency Procedures
- **Lost Communications:**
- **Route:** AVEF.
- **Altitude:** AME.
- **Diversion:**
- Select an alternate airport, communicate with ATC, and update the flight plan as needed.
Study Tips
1. **Familiarize Yourself with Charts:**
- Practice interpreting SIDs, enroute charts, and ODPs.
2. **Simulator Practice:**
- Simulate departures and enroute segments, including navigation and holding patterns.
3. **Scenario Practice:**
- Solve problems involving reroutes, lost communications, and alternate planning.
4. **Reference Materials:**
- Review ICAO or FAA resources like the AIM, Instrument Procedures Handbook, and enroute chart legends.
