Flight Training Central

FEBRUARY 28, 2025

One of the most important skills pilots learn during flight training is sound decision making. Every flight, regardless of the complexity of the airplane or the distance of the trip, is comprised of a continuous series of decisions involving a host of variables that the pilot must make in order to safely get from point A to point B.

However, there was a presidential TFR (temporary flight restriction) around Scranton that lay on a direct line between Sodus and Philly. It added less than 10 minutes to the overall flight time. hours I had already put on the airplane since the repair increased my confidence that the issue was suitably managed.

With the right equipment, you can make good decisions during flight planning and be ready for the approaches available at your destination. Benefits and Limitations in Flight Planning and Approach Phases The advantages of GPS approaches go beyond just basic guidance. Plan for holding or missed approaches.

While other types of controlled airspace require two-way radio communication, IFR flight plans, and various kinds of equipment, Class E airspace below 10,000 feet does not. They allow you enough clearance to see and avoid other airplanes. These airways help guide IFR and VFR aircraft from one navaid/VOR to another.

They often are too busy to plan a commercial flight from start to finish. As a result, larger operations often rely on dispatchers specializing in flight planning to handle the responsibility. The weather is used to plan the route, calculate the cruising altitude, and more. Does it have GPS, INS, or VOR systems?

Youll also dive into concepts like stall recovery, climb performance, and how airplanes stay in the air. Navigation and Flight Planning : This is all about understanding how to get from point A to point B safely. Youll learn to read airspace charts, understand GPS systems, and interpret flight plans.

New Adventures in Flight Planning and Filing I decided to test-drive my PIN and the whole FRZ process for the first time as my annual fall solo flight in October of 2023. Any flight into the FRZ requires a FRZ flight plan. Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing.

In order to reach College Park, pilots must receive specific training from the FAA, undergo vetting by the TSA to earn a personal identification number (PIN) necessary to authorize flight plans within the FRZ, and follow the unique and specific rules for operating into and out of the FRZ. If that sounds intimidating, it is.

For example: Pilot: Seattle Approach, Cessna November Four Five One Romeo, Two Zero miles west of Seattle VOR, at 8,000, with Sierra, to land. Every flight has those. For example, ATC: Fly runway heading until two miles from Kennedy VOR, then turn right, heading one zero zero. Radar vectors to GAYEL. Then proceed as filed.

A few years ago, I got the bug to fly small airplanes again. I trained for a few weeks at a local flight school, then rented a Cessna 172 to fly with my family. We fly our new-to-us Piper to Florida often (the airplane could probably find Orlando on its own), and we agreed it was time for something more adventurous.

I was very fortunate this year to share my airplane with a varied cast of terrific friends both old and new. During flight planning, I determined that 8,000 feet would provide the best wind advantage of the available preferred westbound IFR cruise altitudes. Wasting Away Again in. Ohioville? Yep - a local charter operator.

Preparations for this trip the night before included: Flight planning to time-out each of the four legs of the planned round trip as well as verification of customs hours (Kingston, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm M-F, Ogdensburg, 8:00 am to midnight every day). Filing three IFR flight plans (KSDC to CYGK, CYGK to CYRO, and CYRO to KOGS).

Departure from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum At 2:30 pm, I notified museum staff that I needed to return to my airplane. But I also needed to be airborne at 3:00 pm or else amend my flight plan and arrival time with US Customs in Ogdensville, NY. My filed route to Ogdensburg was via YOW (the Ottawa VOR) and IKLAX.
