Flying a light airplane offers access to thousands more airports than the airlines serve, which means you can land closer to your destination, avoid long taxi routes, and save time. Call for your IFR clearance, including route, altitude, and transponder code. Here are three ways to get a clearance at a non-towered airport.

Maybe it’s the Georgia flying weather, or maybe it’s the ever-increasing emphasis on “old” pilot instead of “bold” pilot, but it seems that flight planning these days is a lot more about if and when than about route and altitude. With my risk profile, IFR really means ignoring crappy VFR and VFR cloud clearance requirements.

This has resulted in the establishment of new nonstop routes by Chinese airlines. Therefore, we expect that, in years to come, there will be a bit more pressure on the revenue management side of airlines and some more pressure on the yields and on the financials.” Investors don’t need to do clearance between the zone and the airport.

In the airline world, descent planning and execution receives a lot of attention. To cope with these challenges, airline glass flight decks contain a vertical navigation function (VNAV) that keeps the autopilot, and the crew, on the right path to arrive at the final approach fix, or downwind leg, at speed and on altitude.
