AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL. This means that, in most cases, a drone pilot flying in FPV will need a visual observer nearby. PIC Pilot in Command The PIC refers to the person who is ultimately responsible for the operations and safety of an aircraft.

This rating does require the pilot to log 50 hours of cross-country time as pilot in command (this is waived for Part 141 instruction). On the plus side, insurance companies love instrument-rated pilots. The ATC service is better.

This central core extends up to around 10,000 feet MSL, the airspace’s ceiling. However, the ceiling for each shelf is the same as the core. Although Class B airspace has a typical ceiling of 10,000 feet MSL, exceptions exist. New York’s Class B airspace has a 7,000-foot ceiling, allowing more room for overflying aircraft.

Enter the specific information to your operation including the intended altitude and duration as well as contact information for the drone pilot in command. If your intended area falls within controlled airspace, you will be alerted that an airspace authorization is required.

That’s obviously the heading ATC expects you to be flying when you contact them after leaving the traffic pattern, but it’s also a reminder that you as the pilot in command are responsible for terrain and traffic avoidance right after takeoff. First is “enter controlled airspace on heading XXX.”

Any passenger can press this guarded switch on the cabin ceiling, then the aircraft will calculate where the next suitable runway is, and will land there automatically. If unintentionally pressed, a push on the autopilot button regains control to the pilot-in-command (PIC).

At this point, it was slightly turbulence as we flew through some low ceiling clouds. A great landing from the PIC (Pilot-in-command) The taxi from runway 27L didn't take long and we reached our gate in less than 10 minutes. We followed the traffic east into London which allows to enjoy some view of the city.

The ceiling must be at least 2,000 feet above the airport elevation. A minimum ceiling of 600 (precision approach) or 800 feet (for a non-precision approach). IFR Currency Requirements As a pilot, you must remain proficient in flying under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). At least 1 instrument approach procedure.

For Runway 35, we see a takeoff ninimum of 400-2 or standard with a minimum climb of 343’ per nautical mile to 5,200′ Remember, the basic assumption is that you are IFR and have a limited ceiling and visibility. It’s your Pilot in Command responsibility under 91.103. That’s a big difference from standard isn’t it?

The problem is, there’s more than this one limitation involved in the average flight, beyond just the perils that can be met by our piloting ability. We need to consider the full range of hazards we’re facing, and that involves more than just assessing the pilot’s ability. I often abort a flight in the old Champ for wind reasons.

The ceiling is 800 ft overcast. The second in command (SIC) suggested S-turns to lose altitude and speed, but the pilot in command (PIC) responded, “Nah, we got it.” Sleep last night was inadequate, catering never showed up, so you’re hungry and irritable, and just want the flight to be over.

Departure Hall (Landside) The design of the ceiling caught my attention. Notice the small disks of colour glass recess on the underside of the ceiling? What does this design of the ceiling look like to you? Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! I can imagine how nice it is at night. Here we are.
