These “aviation routine weather reports” provide pilots with an accurate depiction of current weather conditions at an airport. Different sources will tell you this comes from METeorological Aerodrome Report, Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine Weather Report, Meteorological Terminal Air Report, or Meteorological Airfield Report.

The lights change color to indicate weather conditions based on METAR reports via internet. Either way, METAR is a format for reporting weather observations. ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System) or older AWOS (Automated Weather Observing System) stations automatically collect the data used in METARs. Take your pick.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. The Mooney is well-equipped for weather avoidance as it is equipped with a sophisticated spheric lighting detector. We were wheels up around 1:30pm.

From entry and weather requirements to interacting with ATC, we have you covered. Weather Requirements We find the VFR weather requirements in 14 CFR § 91.155. Class B airspace can afford looser weather requirements because ATC tracks traffic closely. This article makes Class B airspace easy to understand. Airport, CA.

His was to watch for traffic, take pictures, and monitor that my altimeter stayed at 1,300 feet msl. Great weather with only a slight headwind. Mine was to keep us at 1,300 feet, hugging the right side of the Hudson River, and listen for our tail number. We enjoyed our stay at the Moxy Hotel in Chelsea.

You check the weather, get information Charlie, and then tune up tower frequency. Consider what calls might come up given the route of flight and the types of airspace and weather it might pass through. Say you are approaching the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport from the south in a Cessna 12345 and want to make a full stop landing.

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. Yesterday I was inbound to an airport overseen by a Flight Services Specialist. I retune the ATIS and listen.

Several incidents involving the Cessna 172 have been documented, typically attributed to pilot error, adverse weather conditions, or mechanical issues. The classic six-pack of flight instruments that pilots have relied on for decades remains a staple in the Cessna 172. When it comes to speed and altitude, the Cessna 172 does not disappoint.

Weather, field conditions, obstacles, and many other elements greatly affect short field operations. 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.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. The speeds are based on aircraft weight and performance (affected by runway and weather).

Conduct a thorough weather briefing prior to the flight. Increasing altitude – read from your altimeter. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. When the altimeter stops decreasing in altitude, hold your attitude. Use rudder to check balance.

Following a check of the weather, NOTAMS and TFR’s, you are confronted with some decisions to make. The weather is VMC but it’s hot, and the density altitude is really creeping up there. The day finally arrives for that long awaited trip up north to visit family. That’s a big difference from standard isn’t it?

The weather can change, and approach equipment can fail. ATIS broadcasts usually include active runways, available approaches, important NOTAMs, and the weather. Get the destination weather as soon as possible. Use the weather (along with the NOTAMs) to ensure your chosen approach is still the best choice.

However, many older legacy autopilots take their roll commands from various instruments located within the six-pack, most often the turn coordinator, DG, and the altimeter. It is simply necessary to land the plane, through the weather, with vacuum, electrical, or other critical component failures. No, it’s necessary.”
