Hey all, I was wondering if any of you Instrument students could refresh me on all the flow items for the Acronym M-I-C-E-A-T-M, for the life of me I cant remember what the items are without guessing. It was a flow list at riddle, but for some reason the list has escaped me and I cant find it anywhere. Thanks for the help.

When I was there back in 2000, I believe MICEATM came from Comair Academy...it was taught to me by a Comair graduate and wasn't anywhere in the SOP's for Riddle. But anyway, MICEATM was part of a larger "ASAP" that stood for:
A - ATIS
S - Stack (radio setup, tune freq's and set VOR courses)
A - Approach Brief (MICEATM)
P - Pre-landing Check (basically the approach checklist or whatever ERAU has now)
Now, for "my" tweaked version of MICEATM
M - Mag Compass & Marker Beacons Armed/Tested (if I remember correctly part of the approach flow was checking the mag compass and DG)
I - Identify Chart # and Navaids
C - Courses (Inbound/Outbound, PT)
E - Entry (ie Hold in lieu, PT, straight in, etc.)
A - Altitudes
T - Time to MAP
M - Missed Approach Point/Procedure
In addition, I would use M-I-C-E for holding entries - Mag Compass/DG, Identify Navaid, Courses Inbound/Outbound, and Entry (Teardrop, Parallel, or Direct). It worked out well for me as a mental checklist.

Marker beacons-ON
Identify NAVAIDS required
Course-set & review
Entry- determine (full, vectored, hold, DME arc, etc)
Altitudes- initial, intermediate, MSA, mandatory, MDA or DH
Time- note time if required
Missed approach point
That's the MICEATM I know. If yours differs please tell me.
I too believe it came from Delta Connection Academy.
