The flight crew adjusted the icing bug to 165 knots. The temperature at their cruising altitude was around -9° with westerly winds at 46 knots. The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots. On a jet aircraft, the hot air from the engines are routed to the critical surfaces of the aircraft, offering continuous thermal protection.

The fast jets and faster-talking controllers can be intimidating. Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. These simpler classes cannot handle major international airports’ constant high-speed jet traffic. Your IFR clearance authorizes you to fly your planned route.

It uses a propulsion system comprising propellers or jet engines to navigate at a certain set speed limit. Among these tech tools are Air Traffic Controllers who provide ATC clearance as the pilot approaches the landing area. The pilot maneuvers the plane with a 7% thrust paving the way for a 30-knot speed.

Slowly is real slow : at around the Vy speed of 80 knots indicated ! No formation take-off allowed in Kortrijk but we soon settled in a loose formation, throttled back at 50% engine power yielding about 80 knots IAS. We refuelled with fresh Jet A1, and took taxis to a cute hotel.

This 172 had a flap extension speed of 85 knots, and my old Cessna 172’s limit was 100 mph, or 87 knots. The plan was to shoot an instrument landing system (ILS) at the military airport next door, but clearance delivery told us they were landing the other direction. These discrepancies helped me get my head back in the game.

A 10-knot tailwind was also in our favor as the Cessna tracked around 150 knots over the ground. Yes, sir, we are requesting Bravo clearance for the Hudson River at 1,500.

Time To Fly Our aircraft can cruise for about 4 ½ hours plus an hour of reserve fuel at 130 knots. We flew a few miles south of Louisville to an area free from air traffic and started a maximum performance climb.

It involves two jets operating on behalf of Delta, which had a serious incident at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). Fortunately there were no serious injuries, though a flight attendant on the regional jet sustained a minor injury. The pictures of the damage to the CRJ-900 are kind of wild.

The clearance was issued, and the pilots started their takeoff roll. However, after achieving a speed of over 100 knots, the pilots made the decision to abort the takeoff. This is because the Alaska pilots heard that the Southwest 737 had been given clearance to cross the same runway that the Alaska jet was taking off from.

Once the rain relented, we staggered our departures and called for our IFR clearances on the ground. Despite those ground clearances, we found that the ceiling above our home airport was high enough to accommodate VFR departures with airborne clearances. We flew at 7,000 feet with as much as a 30 knot tailwind.

Our ride at six thousand five was smooth despite the brutal headwinds at thirty plus knots. Asking for lower we settled for fifteen to twenty knots still in our face at four thousand five hundred.

Early on a speed restriction of 130 knots was applied as a flutter issue. This was resolved on the kit version and led to cruising at 50% power and 120 knots, which proved to be the Gweduck’s sweet spot.

Flight Level 150 is 15,000 metres, around 50,000 feet, so I’m wondering if someone translated the flight levels, as that seems like a big jump in clearance from 800 metres (3,000 feet). Your friendly reminder that Russia works in metres. They had just started climbing when something drastic happened.
