Pt. 63, App. A

(3) Compute from the operator-s data the
predicted fuel consumption for each zone of
the flight, including the alternate.
(4) Determine the point-of-no-return for
the flight with all engines running and the
equitime point with one engine inoperative.
Graphical methods which are part of the
company-s operations manual may be used
for these computations.
(5) Prepare a cruise control (howgozit)
chart from the operator-s data.
(6) Enter actual fuel consumed on the
cruise control chart and interpret the variations of the actual curve from the predicted
curve.
(7) Check the presence on board and operating condition of all navigation equipment.
Normally a check list will be used. This
check will include a time tick or chronometer comparison. Any lack of thoroughness
during this check will justify this item being
graded unsatisfactory.
(8) Locate emergency equipment, such as,
the nearest fire extinguisher, life preserver,
life rafts, exits, axe, first aid kits, etc.
(9) Recite the navigator-s duties and stations during emergencies for the type of aircraft used for the test.
(10) Demonstrate the proper use of a flux
gate compass or gyrosyn compass (when
available), with special emphasis on the caging methods and the location of switches,
circuit breakers, and fuses. If these compasses are not part of the aircraft-s equipment, an oral examination will be given.
(11) Be accurate and use good judgment
when setting and altering headings. Erroneous application of variation, deviation, or
drift correction, or incorrect measurement
of course on the chart will be graded as unsatisfactory.
(12) Demonstrate or explain the use of
characteristics of various chart projections
used in long-range air navigation, including
the plotting of courses and bearings, and the
measuring of distances.
(13) Demonstrate ability to identify designated landmarks by the use of a sectional
or WAC chart.
(14) Use a computer with facility and accuracy for the computation of winds, drift correction and drift angles, ground speeds,
ETA-s, fuel loads, etc.
(15) Determine track, ground speed, and
wind by the double drift method. When a
drift meter is not part of the aircraft-s equipment, an oral examination on the use of the
drift meter and a double drift problem shall
be completed.
(16) Determine ground speed and wind by
the timing method with a drift meter. When
a drift meter is not part of the aircraft-s
equipment, an oral examination on the procedure and a problem shall be completed.
(17) Demonstrate the use of air plot for determining wind between fixes and for plotting pressure lines of position when using

pressure and absolute altimeter comparisons.
(18) Give ETA-s to well defined check
points at least once each hour after the second hour of flight. The average error shall
not be more than 5 percent of the intervening time intervals, and the maximum
error of any one ETA shall not be more than
10 percent.
(19) Demonstrate knowledge and use of D/F
equipment and radio facility information.
Grading on this item will be based largely on
the applicant-s selection of those radio aids
which will be of most value to his navigation, the manner with which he uses equipment, including filter box controls, and the
precision with which he reads bearings. The
aircraft-s compass heading and all compass
corrections must be considered for each bearing.
(20) Use care in tuning to radio stations to
insure maximum reception of signal and
check for interference signals. Receiver will
be checked to ascertain that antenna and
BFO (Voice-CW) switches are in correct positions.
(21) Identify at least three radio stations
using International Morse code only for identification. The agent or examiner will tune
in these stations so that the applicant will
have no knowledge of the direction, distance,
or frequency of the stations.
(22) Take at least one radio bearing by
manual use of the loop. The agent or examiner will check the applicant-s bearing by
taking a manual bearing on the same station
immediately after the applicant.
(23) Show the use of good judgment in evaluating radio bearings, and explain why certain bearings may be of doubtful value.
(24) Determine and apply correctly the correction required to be made to radio bearings
before plotting them on a Mercator chart,
and demonstrate the ability to plot bearings
accurately on charts of the Mercator and
Lambert conformal projections.
(25) Compute the compass heading, ETA,
and fuel remaining if it is assumed that the
flight would be diverted to an alternate airport at a time specified by the agent or examiner.
(26)-(28) [Reserved]
(29) Demonstrate the ability to properly
operate and read an absolute altimeter.
(30) Determine the  - D -  factors for a series
of compared readings of an absolute altimeter and a pressure altimeter.
(31) Determine drift angle or lateral displacement from the true headingline by application of Bellamy-s formula or a variation
thereof.
(32) Interpret the altimeter comparison
data with respect to the pressure system
found at flight level. From this data evaluate the accuracy of the prognostic weather
map used for flight planning and apply this
analysis to the navigation of the flight.
