Pre-OKC Study

[awilks01]

Hello! Currently in BASICs for Enroute. Do any of you recommend starting study early on the non-radar map? I've looked at it a few times but I find myself frankly stressing about it and neglecting some study for BASICs in lieu of the map.

Any study tips for map learning/memorization? Look forward to any and all tips.

Thanks!

It sounds like the map has changed/is about to change. I wouldn’t worry about studying the map before you get across the street. You will have enough time to learn it once you are given the official materials.

There's no right or wrong way to memorize the map, but the easiest way is to break it down into sections or elements. I think I did something like this:

1. Sectors/MOAs/Approach areas
2. Airports/VORs/intersections
3. Radials
4. J & V routes
5. Diamond mileage
6. Everything else (MEAs, MOCAs, MRAs, etc)

Don’t study early!! The people who fail are the people who worry too much.

Basics is for drinking not studying.

The map did recently change, I believe we're the 5th or 6th class to start using it. If you'd like the updated version, feel free to PM and I'll email you the file they give us. But they give you a lot of time to memorize it, there's even scheduled time during the day to go over it. No need to look at it early.

As far as tips, it's as Miner mentioned. The hardest part that it seems people have are the route mileages (distance between MHZ and BARNE for example) and radials. Just need to come up with a way that works for you.

Edit: Attached the map here.

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the feedback. I'll take the advice and not sweat it until OKC 🙂

I thought they were getting rid of the alternate airways. It’s nice to see it’s basically the same minus some fix names and Meridian 2.

They got rid of alternate airways in the radar map. Non radar alt airways remain.
