Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (

It typically begins at 1200 feet AGL but can start lower in some locations. No ATC clearance is required for VFR flights below 10,000 feet. The 1200-Foot Rule Usually, Class E airspace starts at 1200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). They allow you enough clearance to see and avoid other airplanes.

To taxi from the ramp to the runway at a towered airport, (across the “movement area”), you need to receive a taxi clearance from the Ground controller. That’s ideally a cylinder around the airport with a 4 NM radius and extending to 2500 feet AGL, however, local variations are probably more the rule than the exception.

VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. If the learner is not instrument rated but is training at an airport with an instrument approach, this might be a great time to teach them how to fly the approach as an emergency measure. It’s just a few minutes, right? What could go wrong?

Also, from when I lived out West, there was the mountaintop clearance guideline—1,000 feet for every 10 knots of wind, with 30 knots meaning no-go. But if I was going VFR over strange territory, I would want lots more than 1,000 feet agl. With my risk profile, IFR really means ignoring crappy VFR and VFR cloud clearance requirements.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Operating Requirements in Class B Airspace Operational Requirements VFR traffic needs explicit clearance to enter Bravo airspace. Two-way radio contact with the approach controller is not enough. What is Class B Airspace?

There was no point in trying another approach, and we’d already checked the alternate airport’s weather on the way in, which was equally bad. At the same time, you’ll have no charted guarantees of obstruction clearance and probably no ATC backup, so it’s just you and your wits against the elements. Now, where to go?

Before entering Class C airspace, pilots must receive clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC). When approaching Class C airspace: Tune in to the appropriate frequency for the Class C airspace region, found in the Airport/Facility Directory or on sectional charts. ATC offers IFR and VFR aircraft separation services in Class C.

It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes. This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance.

Follow procedures when requesting an SVFR clearance or departing a non-towered airport. This standard procedure spells out how youll approach, enter, and exit the airspace around the airport. Final approach: This is the straight path leading to your landing. Runway incursions are caused by lapses in awareness and communication.

Because I am willing to descend quickly through a thin cloud layer during the winter, an instrument approach into Sodus would be my "out" if the forecast for a marginal VFR ceiling came to pass. Current minimums on the RNAV-28 are 558 feet AGL since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions. In actuality, we never went IMC.

These include changes made to instrument approaches, STARs, SIDs, and IFR airways. High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. Is there a NOTAM for the approach you intend to use? FDC NOTAMs also provide information about TFRs and other special airspace.

The request to make a short approach or maintain a higher-than-normal speed to the final approach fix is the most common reason pilots don’t meet stable approach criteria.

Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief. ATC then informed us we were number two for the approach and to maintain 4,000’. RNAV 24 at KCPC.

Plan for a missed approach. Request the approach. Understand What’s Required You can’t fly a contact approach to Martin Field (S95) because it lacks any published approaches. What about flying a contact approach to Walla Walla (KALW) but breaking off to land at S95 when you have it in sight? Pick your battles.
