As you return to the traffic pattern, focus on short and soft field approaches and landings. The longer its been since your last cross-country, the more planning youll need. Keep a record of your crosswind landings, takeoff distances, and approach speeds under actual conditions. How can you set yourself up for success?

Due to local noise restrictions, LFMD mandates that the crew obtain a special approach briefing, which can be found on the airport site. Once an available slot and PPR have been obtained, you’ll receive a confirmation – one number for both – and this needs to be placed in Remarks section 18 of the flight plan.

An additional consideration exists for aircraft cruising in the flight levels. Most flight planning software will calculate the 30-45 minutes required at planned cruise flight, when more than likely you will not reach those same altitudes during a diversion.

NOTAMs, apparently, cannot be used legally to advise of fees. There are some reports of errors as well, for planes being charged for overflying an airport, a go-around, or a practice approach. Airport managers should focus on clearly communicating these fees, ideally through channels we normally use for flight planning.
