You’ll typically see lots of airline traffic in Class B airspace, usually heaviest around pushes as an airline lands or departs many of its airplanes close together. It typically extends to 4,000′ AGL. indicated airspeed within four nautical miles of the primary airport, at or below 2,500′ AGL.

But how to do so when you’ve known the airplane since its early development years, as I have? She warned me ahead of time that the airplane wouldn’t appear different from the outside but to expect something truly different inside. The logic is, if you can enter the airplane with the key fob, you can start the engine.

The conditions were a mile of visibility and about 500 feet of ragged ceiling, barely enough to maintain orientation by landmarks passing below. A low ceiling absolutely ends a planned flight, though visibility may be the legal determining factor in some situations. Have the full instrument approach set up, in case things go bad.

More often than not, winter flying in Upstate New York is contingent on the ceiling. Ceilings are often too low to fly beneath and slowly climbing through a cloud layer of indeterminate thickness in sub-freezing temperatures risks icing. However, a persistent low ceiling scuttled those morning plans.

Cloud ceilings below 1,500 feet or cumulonimbus clouds can trigger a SPECI. This information is vital for determining cloud ceilings, especially during landing approaches. Low cloud ceilings, especially below 1,500 feet, lower visibility in VFR. OVC010CB : Overcast layer of cumulonimbus clouds at 1,000 feet AGL.

This central core extends up to around 10,000 feet MSL, the airspace’s ceiling. However, the ceiling for each shelf is the same as the core. Although Class B airspace has a typical ceiling of 10,000 feet MSL, exceptions exist. New York’s Class B airspace has a 7,000-foot ceiling, allowing more room for overflying aircraft.

We had light winds, good visibility, full cloud cover, and ample ceiling heights. What was changing, however, wasn’t the visibility, or ceiling heights, or wind—at least not perceivably. Then, descending through just a few hundred feet AGL, and a few hundred yards from the end of the runway, the turbulence diminished.

The ceiling is 800 ft overcast. The GOM also called for the airspeed to be “on target” at such altitudes respectively. According to the GOM, either pilot could call for a go-around, yet neither did despite the published stabilized approach criteria being violated.

KCPC was reporting IFR conditions with a 700’ ceiling and one mile visibility. This necessitated slowing the airplane down to leave the vertical space to descend another 2,000’ to reach the initial approach fix (IAF) at 2,000′ I requested a descent to the IAF altitude of 2,000’ but was only cleared to 3,000’.

I checked the weather by phone and was assured it would be great CAVU (ceiling and visibility unlimited) with 2-3-knot winds from 090 degrees. Folding up the chart to show the first leg, I took a look around to make sure I had not forgotten anything I walked up to the airplane and placed my chart, E6-B, and plotter on the instrument panel.
