Eventually, the FAA’s Flight Technology group acknowledged the benefits of flying with datalink weather in the cockpit and released Advisory Circular 00-63A in 2014. For example, ground-based systems that require a line of sight may have relatively limited coverage below 5,000 feet above ground level (AGL).

For those new to aviation or those making the leap from paper charts, there comes a point when a decision is necessary on which app to use in the cockpit. Its a great backup for charts in the cockpit too. When you break it down though, the real question you should be asking is which app is best for me.

For example, how many pilots have at some point fantasized that one day they might be called to the cockpit in an emergency? With armored cockpits and big jets, this isn’t even a viable daydream. Even just passing through, the views are magnificent at 2,500 feet AGL running up the coast in the fall. Fess up now.)

But if I was going VFR over strange territory, I would want lots more than 1,000 feet agl. And managing fatigue in the hot cockpit flying into the sun still had to be taken into account. That would only have added 20 minutes, and all that could be done IFR if required.

He only needed a glide ratio of 14:1 to reach the airfield to arrive at a typical pattern altitude of 1,000 ft AGL. At this point he still had an altitude of 8,275 ft MSL, i.e. 2,739 ft AGL. At this point he was just NW of the runway at an altitude of 8000 ft MSL (2464 AGL). After all, a pattern entry altitude of approx.

As briefed, we launched and headed to and entered one of our low-level training routes to fly tactical formation (below) at 500 feet AGL and 480 knots. As we neared MacDill, I maintained 300 knots as I let down to 1,500 AGL, which is the pattern airspeed and altitude at MacDill.

My eyes were busy: inside the cockpit, watching, monitoring, and checking that chart; and outside the cockpit, searching for a first glimpse of our new destination. Then, descending through just a few hundred feet AGL, and a few hundred yards from the end of the runway, the turbulence diminished. There wasn’t much talk.

I reached into the cockpit instantly and pulled the throttle to idle. With nothing to lose, at a little over 1,000 feet agl, I started a turn to the left, looking for a place to land. I took a quick look at the prop and flipped the mag switch. Carefully grabbing the back of the prop with both hands, I gave a hearty swing.

An ADS-B In device allows you to receive FIS-B in the cockpit from almost anywhere in the country. Flight Information Services – Broadcast (FIS-B) Many NOTAMs, such as NOTAM (D)s, TFRs, and airspace NOTAMs, are broadcast over FIS-B. Many pilots find the data provided by ADS-B In much easier to use than calling up an FSS.
