Electronic flight bag apps like ForeFlight, when paired with portable weather receivers like Sentry , make it much easier for pilots to avoid in-flight weather hazards. adds an optional Reported Turbulence layer on the Maps page, but it’s not your typical FAA weather forecast. Version 16.4 There are a lot more reports.

Flight Following is an aircraft flying under VFR that is taking advantage of Air Traffic Control (ATC) services. Flight following is a relatively simple concept–it’s an aircraft flying under VFR that is taking advantage of Air Traffic Control (ATC) services. DON’T rely on ATC for weather avoidance.

Key Takeaways Airports that fall under Class C designation handle general aviation and airline traffic. Aircraft need to have a two-way radio, transponder with Mode C, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment. Before entering Class C airspace, pilots must receive clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC).

For an instrument pilot, though, there is one key difference between a smaller, non-towered airport and a larger one with an air traffic control tower: obtaining an IFR clearance. Call for your IFR clearance, including route, altitude, and transponder code. First is “enter controlled airspace on heading XXX.”

However, it is recommended that pilots have an instrument rating and be proficient in instrument flying, particularly if they plan to fly in areas with known weather hazards, such as mountainous regions or coastal areas where fog or low clouds are common. Your plane is required to be equipped with a 1090 MHz ES transponder.

Talking to air traffic control (ATC) while flying IFR is challenging in the beginning, but with time and practice, you can master it! You cant rely on visual cues to avoid other traffic – or even navigate accurately. Or you might stray off course and into bad weather or obstacles. Why Why are you calling?

It was not an inspiring morning to fly out of Sodus, but I knew that the poor weather was localized to the Lake Ontario shore and that Washington DC was forecast to be sunny and significantly warmer. Flying within the SFRA, whether it is within the FRZ or not, requires all aircraft to broadcast an assigned transponder code.

Basics of Radio Communications With Air Traffic Control The guiding principle of ATC communications is understanding. You check the weather, get information Charlie, and then tune up tower frequency. Consider what calls might come up given the route of flight and the types of airspace and weather it might pass through.

Canada border to be in communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC) via a discrete squawk code. This means that pilots must have a two-way communication device, such as a radio, and a transponder that will allow ATC to identify their aircraft’s location.
