Follow the steps to fill out the R/W IFR Weather Planning Flowchart online.
- Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the R/W IFR Weather Planning Flowchart and open it in your preferred document editor.
- Examine the departure section. Determine if the aviator on controls has 50 hours of weather time as Pilot in Command (PC). Answer 'Yes' or 'No'.
- If the answer is 'No', note the guidance that there are no standard Army takeoff minimums; otherwise, proceed to evaluate whether the aviator meets the minimum takeoff criteria of at least a 100-foot ceiling and visibility of ¼ mile or an RVR of 1200 feet.
- Move to the destination section. Check if the predominant weather at the destination is forecast to be at least equal to the planning minimums one hour after the estimated time of arrival (ETA). If 'No', the procedure for filing IFR cannot be completed.
- Assess if descent from the en route minimum altitude for IFR operation, approach, and landing can be accomplished under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). If 'Yes', proceed to evaluate the alternate requirements.
- Assess the weather conditions at the alternate destination. Determine if the worst weather, tempo, or predominant conditions is forecast to be at least a 400-foot ceiling and 1 mile visibility above the planning minimums at ETA + 1 hour.
- If the answer is 'No' to the previous step, indicate that an alternate is required. If 'Yes', continue to check if radar is required for approach.
- Evaluate if navigational aids are monitored. Answer accordingly and see if predominant weather at the destination meets the criteria mentioned previously to potentially proceed further.
- Finally, upon completing all fields and assessments in the form, you may choose to save your changes, download, print, or share the completed R/W IFR Weather Planning Flowchart.
