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.

This central core extends up to around 10,000 feet MSL, the airspace’s ceiling. However, the ceiling for each shelf is the same as the core. Although Class B airspace has a typical ceiling of 10,000 feet MSL, exceptions exist. New York’s Class B airspace has a 7,000-foot ceiling, allowing more room for overflying aircraft.

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.

This is always reported in the sequence: amount, height, and type or indefinite ceiling/height (vertical visibility). For aviation purposes, the ceiling is the lowest broken or overcast layer, or vertical visibility into an obscuration. The altimeter setting is reported as inches of mercury (inHg) in a four-digit number group.

Years ago, when we first had access to live, inflight METARs, I would have fun with my first officers by pulling up Mt Washington’s METAR.

The Cessna 172 has a maximum takeoff weight of 2,400 pounds, a service ceiling of 13,000 feet, a maximum speed of 123 knots, a stall speed of approximately 47 knots, and a rate of climb of 700 feet per minute. The classic six-pack of flight instruments that pilots have relied on for decades remains a staple in the Cessna 172.

Cherokee Four Eight One, Allentown Approach, altimeter 30.48, remain at or above 3,500 feet." Having driven this highway a few times, I always find it hard not to imagine the incredible weight pressing down on the tunnel's ceiling. Where's Waldo Slatington? Was the airport before or after that ridge?
