  1. LT Iain McConnell Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater HH-60J First Pilot CFI and CFII Civil Air Patrol Check Pilot

  2. 94-98 USCG Academy • 98-00 USCGC Polar Star • 00-01 Navy Flight School, Pensacola • 01-04 Air Station Clearwater • 04 Got married in January!

  3. Allison’s trip to New Orleans

  4. Keep the goal in perspective

  5. KLN 89B GPS, 2 VHF, 2 VOR+ILS • 40 gallons usable fuel • 55% power: 495 nm @ 90 kts, 6.4 gph • 75% power: 475 nm @ 118 kts, 8.4 gph

  6. Time “A”: current! “B” “C” Fly with safety pilot 6 mo. + 6 mo. grace period Fly with safety pilot Get an IPC IFR Currency?

  7. Route • Utility • Special use airspace • Nav aids and comms “dead zones” • Divert field

  8. Equal Time Point • Location where the time required to return to the last suitable airfield is equal to the time required to proceed to the next suitable airfield. 198 nm=half way No wind

  9. headwind Distance to ETP = Total distance x GS (return) GS (return) + GS (cont) Distance to ETP = 396 nm x 140 kts = 231nm 140 kts + 100 kts Distance to ETP = 396 nm x 100 kts = 165 nm 100 kts + 140 kts 231 tailwind 165

  10. The ADIZ

  11. ADIZ • Read AIM 5-6-1 before you go • File on ground, not in flight • Transponder set to assigned squawk • Monitor 121.5 MHz for “Unknown Rider” • Penetrate +/- 5 minutes and +/- 20 nm

  12. FARs • 14 CFR 91 has no requirements • 14 CFR 135.165 Extended Overwater • Defined as 50nm from shore • Requires redundant radios and nav. systems • 14 CFR 135.167 Emergency Equipment • Life preservers, rafts, pyrotechnics, ELTs

  13. Tolerating Imperfections • Route • Straight line is maximum range • VFR the only option • Out of nav and comm radio range • Weather • Unexpected headwinds • IMC • Betting on perfect airplane and pilot!

  14. A revised route! 159 nm 396 nm

  15. Flight!
