Chapter 3 in the AIM has details on dimensions of airspace, cloud clearances, and visibility. Use Your Reference Material While there is an awful lot of information for a pilot to remember, one of the most important skills you can have is knowing where to look up something to verify the information.

Under VFR, the MEF guarantees 100’ obstacle/terrain clearance within that quadrant. Above 18,000’ MSL all aircraft set their altimeters to the standard pressure of 29.92. Do you need a taxi clearance from ground control in this area? This means you don’t have to contact ground control or get a clearance to taxi within that area.

Yes, sir, we are requesting Bravo clearance for the Hudson River at 1,500. His was to watch for traffic, take pictures, and monitor that my altimeter stayed at 1,300 feet msl. After taxiing to Runway 27 and doing a thorough run-up, I called Newark Clearance. Yes, sir, 20Z with VFR request,” I said.

Additionally, the needle on my altimeter at one point was swinging through 500 increments! Once all of our paperwork was stamped and clearances granted, I headed back to the plane and took off for my short 27 mile hop north to the Ambergris Caye, the island where I would be dropping skydivers for the winter.

There are no controllers, but there is highly trained person in the tower, dispensing altimeter settings, and traffic information, and generally doing everything a tower controller does except issue clearances and instructions. I don't know if other countries have this. I retune the ATIS and listen.

This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Subtract the altimeter setting from 29.92, multiply it by 1,000, and add that to the field elevation. Our imaginary destination airport is at 1,500 feet MSL.

Does the approach match the clearance? Set your altimeter bug accordingly. It also serves as a final opportunity to catch any misunderstanding among the crew. 1) Declare the Approach Start by identifying the name of the airport, the arrival runway, and the approach name.

High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. FDC NOTAMs also provide information about TFRs and other special airspace. FDC NOTAMs also include warnings for high barometric pressure areas. FDC 3/2226 JFK SID JOHN F KENNEDY INTL, NEW YORK, NY.

” Not only that, you just never know what kind of surprise ATC will spring on you when you’re picking up your IFR Clearance, so preparation is everything! He was quite insistent that you never forego this process saying, “what you can’t see and avoid can kill you.” That’s a big difference from standard isn’t it?

I queried ATC about when to expect the approach clearance and was informed that the Saratoga had appeared to land but the pilot hadn’t contacted ATC to close his IFR flight plan. The IAF was looming closer. I volunteered to leave frequency and contact Unicom to check, which ATC approved.
