Listen "What is all This STUFF on this Map?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I talk about what everything is that is on the Aero Center Non-Radar Map. One of the reasons given for not studying the map before you get to OKC is that you don't know what you are trying to memorize. Well, hopefully, this will help.I go through:Sectors- number, name, and frequenciesNavaids- VORTAC, VOR/DME, and NDBAirways- Victor Airways and Jet RoutesMEA's- Minimum EnRoute AltitudeMIA- Minimum IFR AltitudeMRA- Minimum Reception AltitudeMCA- Minimum Crossing AltitudeMOCA- Minimum Obstruction Clearance AltitudeMOA's- Military Operations AreasMileages on the airwaysRadials of the airwaysAirports Intersections and DME Only IntersectionsDiamond MileagesAll of these things are on your map. The map is one of the most important things you will learn at the Academy. You will use it every day, even in radar.Try to learn as much of it as you can BEFORE you get to OKC. The more you know it, the less time and energy you will have to spend trying to learn it while you are also trying to learn how to do Non-Radar. Thank you all for listening!If you have any questions, please email me at: [email protected] .Have a great week!!
