Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. hours I had already put on the airplane since the repair increased my confidence that the issue was suitably managed.

The many analyses and videos on these topics have been done in what can best be described as laboratory conditions—carefully selected ideal conditions of pilot, airplane, and environment. The instructor was able to complete the turn, but the airplane overshot the runway. The engine problem was unaddressed carburetor ice.

We were assigned a slightly ridiculous alteration to the route I filed: MANCH T316 LAMMS T608 ROC that had us flying past Sodus to the Rochester VOR before setting up for Sodus. Once on with Syracuse, I decided to rectify the inefficient routing at the end of my instrument clearance and requested direct to Sodus from the Syracuse VOR.

The landing minimums section includes: Minimum descent altitudes. Preflight Planning Some pilots believe an approach briefing means skimming the chart right before descent. Set the ILS, LOC, or VOR frequency required for the approach on your navigation radio. Decision altitudes/heights. Minimum visibilities.

I had an easy out available to me: a descent of 1000 feet would bring me out of the clouds with plenty of altitude to spare above the terrain. Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing. When landing in the SFRA/FRZ, that code must be maintained until the airplane is on the ground.

I was very fortunate this year to share my airplane with a varied cast of terrific friends both old and new. West of the Geneseo VOR, I passed high above Silver Lake and the gorge in Letchworth State Park. Except for a single airplane tied down on the ramp, the parking apron was empty.

Thinking we could be on fire, we initiated a 7000-fpm descent. Little thought is given to the fact that a 7000-fpm descent will fog the windows.

I generally knew what to expect since this was not my first time in a small airplane. ASA Airplane Flying Handbook can be a great resource. Stay ahead of the airplane in-flight to give yourself time to think and to free yourself for jotting down notes as needed.
