Poor Radio Communication Skills The Mistake: Many student pilots struggle with radio communication, which can lead to misunderstandings with air traffic control (ATC) and other pilots. Develop a structured traffic scan: look left to right, near to far. Recommended Video: FAA Crosswind Landing Tutorial 8.

If the wind is as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot should land on Runway 9 and expect a crosswind from the right. Runway 27 and expect a crosswind from the right. The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is 45° to the base leg just below traffic pattern altitude. Pilot in command.

Flying at non-towered airports can feel like stepping into a space where youre both the pilot and air traffic controller. youll need to master the basics of situational awareness, traffic patterns, and CTAF communication can make non-towered operations not only manageable but smooth and predictable. Stay alert.

As an aircraft enters the traffic pattern, it begins the process of getting configured to land on the runway. As the plane descends toward the runway on final approach, it may encounter various scenarios where a safe landing cannot be assured. Let's start with the basic principle of the go-around.

Thaws, rain, snow, and strong crosswinds can temporarily close the airport. Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Usually, Alton Bay volunteers hold departure traffic significantly farther back from the threshold when other aircraft are about to land.

Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing. The aircrafts landing gear is retractable, which must be extended during the final approach. The final approach is a delicate balance of power, pitch, and speed.
