I am a member of the FlyOz Flight Club in Bentonville (KVBT). The flight plan was for KVBT to KSUS for our B-29 ride. Once the fog lifted, we departed KVBT on an IFR flight plan. At 1,000’ AGL on mid-downwind, we could see Doc parked at the FBO. As we neared KSUS, we were transferred to St.

These commonly missed questions often focus on nuanced regulations, meteorology, flight planning, and airspace rules. warm air being lifted rapidly aloft in the vicinity of mountainous terrain. 3,823 feet MSL the surface 700 feet AGL Correct! terrestrial radiation on a clear, relatively still night.

FAA weather charts can help for higher altitudes but when just a few thousand feet agl, they may be less useful. We had been lifted above our assigned altitude.” Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route. I made a lazy turn away, lowered the nose slightly, airspeed thankfully increasing. That’s OK, Horizon 253.

These flights work best if they are limited to an airport 10 to 15 miles away. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Usually that limitation is lifted as the learner gains more experience as a pilot. Have the learner go through a flight from start-up to shutdown using the GPS.

This allows you to make quick adjustments to your flight plan. You should monitor the temperature closely during winter or in colder regions since icing can impact both lift and control.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. I queried ATC about when to expect the approach clearance and was informed that the Saratoga had appeared to land but the pilot hadn’t contacted ATC to close his IFR flight plan.
