Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. What true airspeed should a pilot expect at 9,000 feet on a standard day with 65 percent maximum continuous power? What is ground effect? twice the length of the wingspan above the surface.

My true airspeed, 68% power, 6,500 feet, was 161 mph. It was starting to improve and the ceilings at Wichita and around that area were up to 800 feet. The many hours of plodding over these routes had put the towns, rivers, railroads and other features firmly in my mind and, like riding a bicycle, you never forget.

An acceptable meteorological combination of ceiling, visibility, and wind. Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. A high degree of pilot proficiency, competence as well as currency (currency in Circling Approaches specifically). A known degree of familiarity with the airfield and surrounding terrain.
