Flight Planning & Monitoring – ATPL Revision Guide
These ATPL revision guides have been written and refined by experienced ATPL instructors and airline pilots to support structured, efficient study across all ATPL subjects. The content is deliberately condensed into a clear, easy-to-read format, focusing on the knowledge and understanding required for exam success without unnecessary detail. Each guide is designed to help students build confidence, reinforce key concepts, and revise effectively across the full ATPL syllabus.
Description
Flight Planning & Monitoring – ATPL Revision Guide brings together everything required to plan, execute, monitor, and safely adapt a flight from pre-departure to shutdown. The subject starts with VFR and IFR planning fundamentals, teaching how to build a complete navigation plan using charts: route selection, airspace structure, altitudes, obstacles, visual waypoints, radio-navigation aids, communications, SIDs, STARs and instrument approaches. It develops a clear understanding of minimum altitudes, terrain clearance, temperature corrections, and how to extract and interpret all relevant chart data accurately and efficiently.
A major focus is fuel planning and pre-flight preparation. This includes calculating taxi, trip, contingency, alternate, final reserve, additional and extra fuel, understanding the penalties of extra fuel, and applying special procedures such as reduced contingency fuel, isolated aerodromes, predetermined points and fuel tankering. You also learn to integrate NOTAMs, GNSS achievability, augmentation availability, and updated meteorological data to refine both navigation and fuel plans, including PET and PSR calculations for decision-making on long or critical sectors.
The final section concentrates on flight monitoring and in-flight replanning. It covers continuous tracking of position, time and fuel, detecting deviations from plan, recalculating ground speed, ETAs, endurance and range, and managing fuel safely in real time. Emphasis is placed on command responsibility, diversion decision-making, revised destination and landing mass calculations, and ensuring safe terrain clearance and fuel margins at all times. Together, this subject builds the disciplined, systematic thinking required to plan accurately, monitor continuously, and adapt confidently when conditions change in flight.
