The Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) is a Visual Glide Slope Indicator (VGSI) placed near a runway to help you land safely. Using the VASI is crucial as it gives you safe obstruction clearance within 10 degrees of either side of the runway centerline and around four nautical miles from the runway threshold. nautical miles.

There were a few good bumps during take off and more of it during the descent especially flying through the clouds. Anyway, during the descent, there was quite a bit of bumps and that also includes a sudden downdraft that made me hold on to the seat in front of me, I dislike this feeling to be honest. Almost there!

But I accepted the clearance knowing that I could change it with a local Approach control like Syracuse. Once on with Syracuse, I decided to rectify the inefficient routing at the end of my instrument clearance and requested direct to Sodus from the Syracuse VOR. I normally do this upon hearing, "Cleared for the approach."

I intercepted the approach course and after a few moments, reached the final approach fix at JUNIA. I pulled the power back and set a notch of flaps to establish a 90 knot, 500 foot/minute descent. Northeast Ground did not like that I had filed direct to home and notified me that a full route clearance was coming.

When I contacted Rochester Approach, the controller came back with, "Are you looking for your clearance to College Park?" I answered in the affirmative, received my clearance, and was given a climb to 6,000 feet as the rain streaked over my windscreen. Shouldn't he have my full clearance? But no ice formed that morning.

We waited for another 10 minutes before finally given the clearance to board the aircraft, I wonder what was the cause of the delay. Many hours later, we started our descent into New York. At this point, we were on final approach to runway 31L. I can't wait to return in the near future. Welcome back to the U.S!

None of us were confident that the New York Approach controller from our inbound flight to Orange County would be particularly helpful in arranging flight following or a Bravo clearance. We departed on a more southeast heading to ensure clearance with Stewart International's class Delta airspace. Scott followed in Eight One Six.

The request to make a short approach or maintain a higher-than-normal speed to the final approach fix is the most common reason pilots don’t meet stable approach criteria.

I requested a descent from 6,000’ down to 4,000’ and was denied due to traffic. Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief.

Off Sodus, I briefly leveled at 2,500 feet to remain visual until I received my instrument clearance from Rochester Approach. Fortunately, the clearance was a simple one that morning because I was absurdly tongue tied while talking to Rochester. No wonder I got bounced around so much on final approach this morning , I thought.

Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing. The aircrafts landing gear is retractable, which must be extended during the final approach. Additionally, configure the aircraft for a stable descent.

Just as I was settled in, the captain announced to all of us that the flight had begun its descent and requested the crew to prepare for landing. Before I know it, we were on our final approach. Once we started our descent, I changed the channel to the camera mode (landing gear) to enjoy this view. Soon, it was our turn.
