However, a forecast for low IFR weather in that part of Maine led us to cancel it. 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. Moments after climbing through the ceiling over Beverly, MA.

In aviation, staying ahead of the weather is a must. When weather conditions shift unexpectedly, that’s when a SPECI report comes in. A SPECI (or Special Report) offers a quick weather update between the routine METARs. Let’s explore how SPECIs are going to help you plan around unexpected weather twists.

What are the minimum weather conditions required for airplanes operating under special VFR in Class D airspace? 3 miles flight visibility; 500' below, 1,000' above and 2,000' horizontally from clouds 1 mile flight visibility and clear of clouds 1 mile flight visibility and a 1,000-foot ceiling Correct!

Friday’s weather took a turn with seemingly endless rain, but while some may have stayed home there was still a crowd lining up at the airport.

Scenario 3: VFR into IFR If you read the accident reports the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) compiles, you will notice a lot are attributed in part to the pilot’s decision to continue VFR into deteriorating weather. In the ATD the scenario begins by having the pilot check the weather before takeoff. What could go wrong?

We flew in pursuit of good weather and photo backdrops not browned by the seasons, and headed south—nearly straight south—from Maryland to Florida by way of Hilton Head, South Carolina. You can override the system to manual by lifting a sliding door, but it was honestly completely forgotten within the first half hour of our flight demo.

There is also a ceiling fan which I didn't use as the air-con is enough. Only shower is available in this room type. Have a good one!

When it entered production, the aircraft was redesigned to fit a multipurpose all-weather role – something which Boyd’s Fighter Mafia opposed. The F-16 was originally envisioned as a lightweight dogfighting-focused specialist. However, the Eurofighter has canards: small forewings forward of the main wing.

So we continued towards Reykjavik in basically shitty weather at the very economic fuel setting of 47% power as calculated. We received a Pilot Report (PIREP) from the German Cheetah that they were flying at FL100 in the clear, while we were in shitty weather. So perfect weather.

I remember doing exactly this during my instrument training at a very remote airport: the nearest pay phone was about a mile away from the airport ramp, so it was quite the accomplishment to lift off before my timer expired. This works well if the weather is good and you don’t need an IFR clearance to take off and depart the pattern.

Fear of Landing

OCTOBER 18, 2024

Weather reports from the Naval Auxiliary Landing Field on the island warned of a low cloud ceiling, overcast at 700-800 feet. As my speed increased I lifted the nose of the plane slightly prior to takeoff, but when I did that the nose blocked the few centerline stripes that were my only visual cues to keep going straight.

Simpler stations could only be used if the landing of the aircraft is automatic, which would require a fully autonomous aircraft system capability, even in unfavorable weather and terrain conditions. Aircraft have to be in continuous forward motion to create lift and thus possess potentially destructive kinetic energy while in motion.

Navy’s request for a multi-role fighter capable of all-weather operations. Its service ceiling of around 60,000 feet allowed it to operate at high altitudes, giving it an edge in air superiority missions. This heavy-lift capability was critical for its roles in both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions.

If the airplane is tied down outside, it’s important to get all of the ice and snow off the lifting and control surfaces. Scraping the ice off the aircraft is hard on the pilot—not to mention the paint and plexiglass—and often leaves a residue of lift-killing crust on the surfaces. This is hard to do without deicing fluid.

A Dunkin' in Jasper, GA made for makeshift flight planning space as we waited on fog to lift at Pickens County Airport. While I anticipated an IFR departure that morning, I wanted to see ceiling and visibility of at least 300 feet and a mile to avoid smacking into mountainous terrain around Pickens County Airport during take-off.

We may be the best pilot ever born, but we can’t force a tired Skyhawk to climb above its genuine absolute ceiling, undefined by any performance chart. And the finest example of a Cirrus SR22 is not going to want to lift a full load out of a backcountry strip on a warm afternoon with a density altitude reading five digits.
