ENR 1.10 FLIGHT PLANNING
1. FLIGHT PLAN PREPARATION
1.1 Before beginning a flight, a pilot in command must study all available information appropriate to the intended operation and, in the cases of flights away from the vicinity of an aerodrome, flights over water (see ENR 1.1 Section 62.) and all IFR flights, must make a careful study of:
a. current weather reports and forecasts for the route to be flown and the aerodromes to be used;
b. the airways facilities available on the route to be flown and the condition of those facilities;
c. the condition of aerodromes to be used and their suitability for the aircraft to be used;
d. the Air Traffic Control rules and procedures appertaining to the particular flight; and
e. all Head Office and FIR NOTAM applicable to the en route phase of flight, and location-specific NOTAM for aerodromes.
The pilot must then plan the flight in relation to the information obtained.
Note: Full details on the services provided by the briefing office(s)
are available in ERSA GEN.
What happened to actually checking notams before the flight?
I wonder how many aircraft are going to breach the notamed areas at Bathurst next weekend?
