If you take off from Runway 27, you intercept and track the PDZ R-030 radial inbound and make a direct entry tracking the PDZ R-078 radial outbound, using non-standard left turns. If you take off from Runway 9, you would intercept and track the PDZ R-093 radial inbound, execute a parallel entry, and then track the PDZ R-078 outbound.

It seemed to continue this way until we finally rolled onto the runway and got to the good part. Say you are approaching the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport from the south in a Cessna 12345 and want to make a full stop landing. Enter left downwind Runway 18, report midfield.” This initial exchange is not quite done, though.

Most holding fixes are NAVAIDs such as VORs, RNAV (GPS) waypoints, and even ILS markers. When VORs are used as holding fixes, the fix is usually a specific DME distance on a particular radial. If the VOR doesn’t have DME capability, it will be the intersection between two radials from two separate VORs.

Does it feel like the more landings or instrument approaches you practice, the worse you get? No, you should take a proactive approach and there are some things you can do. A non-towered field with a shorter runway will challenge you and help you hone your aim-point on landings. What can you do? Keep trying and hope for best?

After warming the oil I taxied for runway two and picked up my super secret squawk code to get out with the TFR in place. Nope, VFR today, but if I need it I’ll open with whatever approach I’m on with. As we approached Barrett’s Mountain VOR you could make out the mountains ahead.

For new instrument pilots, flying an approach to minimums is a big challenge. Adding an approach briefing to the mix feels like one task too many. Luckily, mastering approach briefings is not as hard as it seems. This article breaks down how to deliver a top-notch approach briefing, every time. Final approach course.

I've been going through weather updates and long range forecasts for the last two weeks along with reviewing approaches and alternates for our flight. I was handed off to Charleston approach and the controller turned me to the coast. When I was handed off to Wilmington approach they asked if I was VFR or IFR. Saturday 9.16

When both plans were filed, he asked me to stand-by while he verified that the flight plan was properly pushed to Cleveland Center where Rochester Approach would be able to retrieve it. When I contacted Rochester Approach, the controller came back with, "Are you looking for your clearance to College Park?"

Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. Two-way radio contact with the approach controller is not enough. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). However, you must receive clearance from approach control before entering Class B airspace.

I expected minimal IMC time and the need for an approach appeared beyond remote. Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. Famous last words.) Foolish mortal.

I had no interest in flying one hour north only to be shut out of our destination by weather below minimums for the available instrument approach procedure. ATC was great, the FBO (FlightLevel - Beverly) treated us well and charged reasonable fees, and radar services were managed by the perennially capable Boston Approach.

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. After 50 minutes, we were taxiing to the runway. The approach and taxi are time compressed; the landing is normal speed. Our initial climb rate was 500-600 feet/minute.

M ost difficult experience has been taxiing when visibility for runways is down to 150 m or less. I’d venture to say that few aircraft out there can cruise at 350 kts, and operate safely out of the 2500-ft runway at WKR, which has had its share of landing mishaps. Antonio Aranda ATP. I’m proud of this piece of equipment. It happened!

Since then, the former airbase has seen its runways either truncated (9-27), deleted (15-33), or transformed into taxiways (4-22). Today, it is home to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM, part of the broader Ingenium collection of museums in Ottawa) housed within a 1988 facility built along former runway 22 (taxiway D).

I taxied to the departure end of runway 27, ran-up the airplane, and broke ground exactly at 3:00 pm as planned. My filed route to Ogdensburg was via YOW (the Ottawa VOR) and IKLAX. As I approached the St Lawrence River, I had the distinct impression of being on the wrong side of it. Customs expected me at 3:41 pm.
