Galactic Puzzle Hunt 2023: GalacticCardCaptors

Dargle

- Solved collaboratively, helped decode several of the cards' flavor texts, including "norgle-Dirgle Crergle" as "non-Dinosaur Creatures"

Gnutmeg Tree

- Solo-solved by identifying the one card available that could break board symmetry

Coloring

- Solo-solved, including figuring out the locations given all had counterparts in Wyoming as well as Colorado (and realising the name of the puzzle was a portmanteau of the two states' names)

Beige Flags

- Helped identify several of the city flags, as well as some of the clued phrases that were almost-anagrams of the city names, including AUCKLAND/HAND-CAULK and LONDON/OLD NEON

Slime

- Identified "King Bee (who sends his regards)" as a key card for this battle

Mister Penny

- Solo-"solved" via brute force and never having figured out the theme

I don't write but I am interested in what you would recommend for writing about preparing for a flight in a light aircraft realistically. Even for drawing. While reading your blog I remembered some story or something describing a scene in the back seat of a small plane like a cessna 172 and I just couldn't imagine any of it well because i know that space is too dang tight.

Also, just out of curiosity

What are some examples of planes that you can instruct in? Are we talkin cessna or piper or beechcraft or?

Hi!

I instruct in the Piper PA-28 series of aircraft, and a basic flight plan is typically done in the few hours preceding a flight, or the night before in the case of an early-morning flight.

Step one is to determine where you want to go, and if the weather will even allow for it to happen. Assuming you're in the USA, aviationweather.gov and 1800wxbrief.com are the two most useful websites for flight planning. This step is a "big picture" glance at the route of flight, and this is when you actually draw your lines on a map to plan out your route.

Once the weather looks okay and your route is planned, the next step is to designate a set of "checkpoints" along your route of flight, be they landmarks on the ground for VFR (visual) flight, or navigation waypoints for IFR (instrument) flight. The purpose of these is not only to remember what to look for, but to help figure out your ETA with some math you'll be doing later in the planning process.

All of these waypoints are written down in a document called a nav log, which is essentially a table describing your route, the waypoints along them, estimated speeds, estimated times, etc. Once all of your waypoints are picked out, you tally up the distances between them (in nautical miles), and make sure that number matches the total distance.

Now, with your route and waypoints, it's time to take a closer look at the weather. Since we already know we'll be clear of any nasty weather, now is the time to focus on one important thing: what the wind is doing.

Using the websites above, we can get a forecast of the wind speed and direction at our desired altitude, which is chosen based on what provides the best tailwind (or least-bad headwind). Our altitude, assuming a VFR flight, follows the hemispherical rule - eastbound flights fly at an odd-thousand altitude plus 500, and westbound flights fly at an even-thousand altitude plus 500. Add the wind speed/direction, as well as the desired altitude, to the nav log.

Now, here's the part where we do the math, and for this, we'll use a special calculator called an E6B. It's a slide rule whose design has been almost unchanged since the Second World War, and it can do unit conversions, course corrections, fuel burn calculations, and much more. What we want right now is the wind correction function - given a desired course, a wind speed, and a wind direction, it can calculate a ground speed (faster with a tailwind, slower with a headwind), as well as a wind correction angle, which is a heading to keep the airplane from being blown off course by the wind.

We need to do a wind calculation for each of our waypoints, adding the wind correction and ground speed to our nav log.

Now that we have our estimated ground speeds at each waypoint, we calculate our estimated time enroute (ETE) between each waypoint, again using the E6B to do so and adding the results to the nav log. Add up the ETEs between each waypoint to get an ETE for the entire route.

After that's done, we'll calculate how much fuel we need. Consult the airplane's manual for a fuel burn measured in gallons per hour (GPH), which is 9.5 GPH for the PA-28. Do the math with the E6B, and you now have your cruising fuel.

Next, climb fuel - for this one, you need to consult the airplane's manual, and follow the directions on a graph to get this number.

Finally, reserve fuel - for a VFR flight during the day, you need enough fuel to cruise to your destination, and then fly at a normal cruising speed thereafter for 30 minutes.

For a VFR flight at night, or an IFR flight, you need 45 extra minutes of fuel, plus any fuel needed to fly to an alternate airport in the case of IFR.

Those are the basic elements of a flight plan, but there's more that pilots are required to familiarize themselves with:

- NOTAMS (notices to air missions; typically concerns airport closures or non-standard procedures)

- Weather information (it's always good to do one more look at the weather, and also obtain a weather briefing for your route of flight)

- Known delays (ground stops, busy airspace, etc)

- Runway lengths at airports of intended use

- Alternative airports to land at if your destination is no longer suitable

- Fuel requirements

- Takeoff and landing performance numbers (can your airplane take off and land within the length of the shortest runway you plan on using?)

- Any other information pertinent to the flight
