Lateral guidance tells you to go left or right to align yourself with the runway. Heres how you decide: If you can see the runway (or certain lights or markers for the runway) when you reach the DH, you can keep going and land. If you dont see the runway before reaching MOLRE, you have to go missed. Thats up to you!

But landing it safely on the runway is a skill. Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. If you aren’t in alignment with the runway at 500 ft or are off speed or profile, go around. Brief the runway conditions.

We studied all of our options going into New York via general aviation. 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. Our departure on Friday was as easy as the arrival.

Airspeed indicators need air from a pitot tube and static air from a static port Small general aviation aircraft have airspeed indicators with air hoses connected directly to the pitot and static sources. The speeds are based on aircraft weight and performance (affected by runway and weather).

Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. That’s a considerable detour for small general aviation aircraft. Class B airports are not only busy, they’re usually big as well.
