Simulator Scenario Discussion: Off Schedule Departure
You are the pilot of a Cessna 172 visiting friends for the weekend in Berlin, New Hampshire. You had planned to depart Berlin Regional (KBML) on Sunday, but decided to wait until Monday when the weather would be clear. However, you’ve just received a phone call, and a family emergency back home in Syracuse, NY now requires that return as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the weather at your destination KSYR is completely clear and the last half of your flight will be VMC. So, you decide to make an IFR departure from KBML with a final cruise altitude of 6000 MSL.
All navigational aids and equipment are functioning properly and there are no GPS outages are expected.
METAR: KBML 061600Z AUTO 11006KT 1SM OVC009 10/8 A2992 RMK AO2
You pick up your clearance on the ground from Boston Center over the phone. What should you include in your flight planning? The scenario ends when you reach your cruising altitude.
This is not a competition! It is an exercise to provide common ground for discussion with other pilots.
In the time remaining, we will review the Wings Program and discuss how to make it work for you. Until then, stay safe and we hope to see you at the meeting.
