Interpret departure, arrival, en route, and approach procedures with reference to appropriate and current charts.
Bottom line
To begin IFR route planning, gather en route charts, approach charts, DPs, STAR charts, the GPS database, an A/FD, navigation logs, and the aircraft's POH/AFM, and verify everything is current. Next, review the approach charts and any DP or STAR that pertains to the flight. Review the en route charts for potential routing, paying close attention to the minimum en route and obstacle clearance altitudes.
