Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. Operating Requirements in Class B Airspace Operational Requirements VFR traffic needs explicit clearance to enter Bravo airspace.

Before RNAV, pilots had to rely on radios (NAVAIDs) and antennas on the ground such as VORs (Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDBs (Non-Directional Beacons). LP+V approaches dont always account for obstacle clearance, so theyre not an officially protected procedure. You wont find any mention of LP+V on an approach plate.

This is a general aviation term that also applies to drone flight. In contrast to a control tower, an FSS is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances to aircraft. It consists of two independent components VOR and TACAN. Conclusion Acronyms are a great tool for making communication faster and more efficient.

Among General Aviation pilots, there was great fear that private aircraft would be permanently barred from controlled airspace, particularly around the epicenters of those attacks in New York City and Washington DC. Although 9/11 marked the weaponization of commercial aircraft, the aftereffects are felt most keenly by General Aviation.

The written test had 25 questions and the hardest thing on the practical was explaining what VOR was and how it worked. Other logbook entries weave a story of the experiences only general aviation can bring. In spring of 1967 I soloed after eight hours of dual and received my ticket that fall. Infrequent but noticeable.

To provide student pilots an opportunity to experience real world general aviation flying outside of the training environment and introduce them to what they can do once they have earned their pilot certificates. To support our member pilots in trying new things in aviation that might be too intimidating for them to try on their own.

I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community. Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. Small aircraft are designed for these kinds of flights.
