Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. What is the headwind component for a landing on Runway 18 if the tower reports the wind as 215° at 30 knots? Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6.

The wind is reported with five digits (14021) unless the speed is greater than 99 knots, in which case the wind is reported with six digits. The last two digits indicate the speed of the wind in knots (KT) unless the wind is greater than 99 knots, in which case it is indicated by three digits. Next we have the sky condition.

Another interesting model is the 172RG Cutlass RG, which features retractable landing gear and a more powerful Lycoming O-360-F1A6 engine, offering a cruise speed of 140 knots. For instance, Knots 2U offers a Cessna 172 Cowl / Body Fairing Kit that improves aerodynamics and can increase cruise speed by 3-4 mph.

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.

Green – VFR ( Visual Flight Rules ) Ceiling > 3,000 ft. Winds over 15 knots are indicated by flashing yellow lights. I chose the default setting of 15 knots because the max demonstrated crosswind component of our Cherokee Six is 17 knots. C ( 12°F)/-11.0°C Two bright blue flashes indicate frozen precipitation.

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? feet per minute). Multiply 1.5 Woah, can my Warrior do that?

Before you realized it, the altimeter had wound itself well past the initial ceiling you had mentally calculated in your preflight planning, and now you found yourself squarely inside Class B airspace – OUCH! Now, the knot in your stomach tightened….you What to do if you inadvertently fly into Class B airspace?
