SCHEDULE:
Pre-Brief: .5
AATD: 2.0
Post Brief: .5
Total Time: 3.0

EQUIPMENT:
Appropriate IFR Charts. AATD set up to low IFR conditions. Aircraft positioned at Runway 21 @ SMO.

OBJECTIVE:
To further the client’s knowledge of aircraft avionics, ATC procedures, IFR procedures and lost communication procedures during the critical phases of IFR flight.

ELEMENTS:
Scenario 1: This is a cross-country flight from Santa Monica, CA (SMO) to Santa Barbara, CA (SBA). The departure clearance listed in the sim scenario is real world. It is rare to receive either of the two GPS DPs listed for SMO. The clearance should be given to the pilot as follows:

Cleared to the Santa Barbara Airport Via runway heading until REACHING the LAX 315 deg. radial turn right heading 250, Radar vectors SMO (Santa Monica), V107, SADDE, V299, VTU (Ventura), VTU 282 deg. radial, KWANG, direct, Climb maintain 3,000 expect 6,000 in 5 min. Socal Dep is 125.2 Squawk xxxx.

• During the en route portion of the phase normal IFR procedures should be expected and followed.
• The arrival into SBA will be the VOR Runway 25 Approach.

Scenario 2: This is a cross-country flight from Santa Monica, CA (SMO) to McClellan-Palomar Field, Carslbad, CA(CRQ). The departure clearance listed in the sim scenario is real world. It is rare to receive either of the two GPS DPs listed for SMO. The clearance should be given to the pilot as follows:

“Cleared to the Carlsbad airport via runway heading until REACHING the LAX 315 radial, turn right heading 250, radar vectors to SMO, outbound on the SMO 125 radial, V64, V363 DANAH intersection, V23, OCN (Oceanside), direct. Climb maintain 3,000 expect 5,000 5 mins after departure. Socal Dep is 125.2 Squawk xxxx.

The arrival to CRQ will utilize the GPS Runway 24 Approach. This approach should be flown as published.

COMMON ERRORS:

• Failure to familiarize oneself with the arrival and departure airport procedures
• Failure to review charts associated with flight
• Inadequate SRM
• Loss of situational awareness

INSTRUCTOR’S ACTIONS:
The instructor will provide real-world radio communications and offer direction in the proper procedures and aircraft control to successfully end the given scenario.

PILOT’S ACTIONS:
The student will have studied and reviewed the appropriate charts prior to the flight. Radio communications and procedures are expected to be real-world. Utilization of checklists and SRM procedures should be utilized at all times. Briefings of approaches and verbalization of steps that the pilot is taking should also be verbalized.
