Altimeter Clearance Runway 
One Mile at a Time
JULY 20, 2024
Around 2hr50min after departure, the plane was on approach to runway 10 at Tampa Airport. As the plane was coming in over Tampa Bay, while around four miles from the runway, it descended as low as 150 feet, according to ADS-B data. Tampa’s altimeter is 30.14.” For now you can fly runway heading and climb and maintain 1,600.”

Under VFR, the MEF guarantees 100’ obstacle/terrain clearance within that quadrant. Mostly affects runways found next to bodies of water. 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? The common response is 60,000’ MSL.

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.

Not only must you fly unnervingly slow, but you also have to pick a spot on the runway and hit it. It’s a runway that is too short for a normal takeoff or landing but still usable with certain precautions. This allows them to safely operate into and out of these tight runways. You’re not alone.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. Operating Requirements in Class B Airspace Operational Requirements VFR traffic needs explicit clearance to enter Bravo airspace.

A pilot loads the data into the FMC and submits an ACARS takeoff performance data request for the expected runway (in the old days, we used thick binders of airport specific charts). AeroData provides the crew with runway-specific takeoff thrust setting, speeds, flap setting, and critical engine out performance data. Squawk 2137.
