The following airports are the most popular (and approved) destinations for PFTC student cross-country flight training.
Flight Planning Links....Graphical TFRs from the FAA. Finally the FAA is providing graphical TFRs to pilots. There are only a few available with graphics, but at least it's a start. Being able to actually see where you're not to fly, as opposed to just being told, is a big help to pilots. Current TFR notams are available on the FAA's web site. Taxiway Diagram of KAGC This is a kneeboard size diagram you might want to print a copy of and keep handy in the cockpit. Note: You need Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer to view the file. Blank Flight Plan. Note: You need Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer to view this file. Cross-Country Log and Flight Plan. Acrobat Reader file. Kneeboard size when printed on 8 1/2" x 11 paper and folded in half. Recommend printing on both sides so all four panels will be on one sheet of paper. Aerial Photographs of many of the airports PFTC students use as destinations my be found on this Civil Air Patrol web site. NOTE: The aerial photographs may not be accurate or current and are not valid for navigation, flight planning, or for use in flight. Always consult the official publications for current and correct information. Check NOTAMs before flying. AirNav.com A website database of useful airport information including airports, navaids, fixes and aviation fuel. This is similar to the information contained in the FAA's AF/D. Many of the airport information pages include an aerial photo. Current Icing Potential The CIP is an automatically generated index of current icing potential. Sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration and implemented by the National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center. CIP is a gridded icing diagnostic that updates hourly. NOTE: When you view the site for the first time we suggest clicking the "I" (information) button at the top right corner of the page to learn how it works. AOPA Online The official website of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Much of it is FREE. An annual membership will get you access to even more extremely useful information. Sun or Moon Rise-Set Table for One Year Are you planning a night flight? Would you like to know if the moon will be visible in the sky when and where you'll be flying? If, on the other hand, it is going to be a very dark moonless sky, wouldn't you like to know about it before you get in the air? For your currency requirements, how about knowing exactly when Civil Twilight is for a certain day? Follow this link to the U.S. Naval Observatory's Astronomical Applications Department to find out. NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System. On their website, you can download a report form. Visit Community College of Allegheny County
