GROUND LESSONS
Exercise 6.6: Practice (Optional)
Using the G1000 PC-based simulator, power up the system.
1. Verify the Jeppesen database effective dates and note those dates in the space provided below.
2. Enter the transponder code “5455” and set the transponder to “ALT” mode.
3. In COM 1, enter the ATIS frequency for KAPA as the active frequency and the ground control frequency as the standby
frequency.
4. In COM 2, enter the KAPA Tower frequency as the active frequency and the Departure frequency for an eastbound depar-
ture as the standby frequency.
5. Assume that you are departing KAPA and select and load the Plains Two Departure, Goodland Transition (PLAIN2.GLD)
with the rest of the flight plan going from KAPA to KMKC via the Hill City and Salina VORs with the Jayhawk Five Arrival
via the Emporia Transition (EMP.JHAWK5) and expect the ILS 3 Approach into Kansas City Charles B. Wheeler Downtown
Airport.
6. Load VOR frequencies as appropriate to monitor the progress of the flight along with the GPS navigation.
7. Initiate the flight on the simulator. Enroute just east of Goodland, you receive the following amended clearance from ARTCC:
“
N12345, I am showing level-4 radar returns on my radar over the Hill City VOR, in a line that runs from 40 miles
to the southwest of Hill City to 150 miles to the northeast. The entire storm appears to be moving east at 30 knots
.”
You were planning on stopping for fuel in Salina, but you realize that the storm will be on top of the airport by the time
you arrive there. Note that your aircraft is not equipped with a Stormscope or datalink weather. What are your options?
Rank these options from best to worst.
