Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. What is ground effect? Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.

I concentrated as never before, and the airplane tracked true as the altimeter hand crawled upward.

Cloud ceilings below 1,500 feet or cumulonimbus clouds can trigger a SPECI. This information is vital for determining cloud ceilings, especially during landing approaches. Low cloud ceilings, especially below 1,500 feet, lower visibility in VFR. A2992 : Altimeter setting of 29.92

For Runway 35, we see a takeoff ninimum of 400-2 or standard with a minimum climb of 343’ per nautical mile to 5,200′ Remember, the basic assumption is that you are IFR and have a limited ceiling and visibility. That’s a big difference from standard isn’t it?

KCPC was reporting IFR conditions with a 700’ ceiling and one mile visibility. Unicom also confirmed the weather was still showing a 700’ ceiling with one mile of visibility. Nothing scary, but any hope for a side view of that nearby rain buildup was probably not going to happen. Tuning in the AWOS, I heard an unpleasant surprise.
