What does Flight Planning & Monitoring cover?
Flight Planning & Monitoring brings together navigation, fuel and meteorology into a practical plan: route and fuel calculations, completing flight logs and ATC flight plans, and monitoring progress against the plan in flight. It is a synthesis subject that draws on several others.
What this subject covers
- VFR and IFR flight planning
- Fuel planning and reserves
- Completion of a navigation/flight log
- ATS flight plan completion
- Point of equal time and point of safe return
- In-flight replanning and monitoring
Study tip
Because it synthesises navigation, performance and meteorology, gaps in those subjects show up here — shore them up before drilling planning questions.

Frequently asked questions
What is Flight Planning & Monitoring?
It is the practical subject of building and following a flight plan — route, fuel, reserves, logs and ATC plans — and monitoring the flight against it.
What are PET and PSR?
Point of Equal Time and Point of Safe Return are classic planning calculations. They appear regularly, so they are worth drilling until they are automatic.
Does it depend on other subjects?
Yes — it draws on General Navigation, Performance and Meteorology. Strengthening those makes Flight Planning much easier.
