Flight Planning

General

Flight planning, at its most basic, consists of defining a route to be

flown, de-termining fuel requirements; take-off, en route and landing

performance.

Longer flights may require consideration of special factors which govern

the safety of oceanic flights, extended operations (ETOPS) away from

available di-version airports, and the methods of redispatch.

The main purpose of the flight planning process is to produce a flight

plan for a proposed flight. Therefore it is of great importance to take

into account two safety-critical elements for the flight planning process:

• Fuel calculation, to ensure that the airplane can securely reach

its destina-tion, and

• Compliance with the requirements of Air Traffic Control, to minimise

the risk of airborne collision.

Flight planning requires accurate weather forecasts so that fuel consumption

calculations can account for the fuel consumption effects of

head or tail winds and air temperature.

Safety regulations require aircraft to carry fuel beyond the minimum

needed to fly from origin to destination, allowing for unforeseen circumstances

or for diversion to another airport if the planned destination

becomes unavailable. Furthermore, under the supervision of air traffic

control, aircraft flying in controlled airspace must follow predetermined

airways usually separated vertically by 1000 or 2000 feet, depending on

the route being flown and the direction of travel.
