It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. Next, introduce the VOR. Have them use the VOR to determine what radial they are on, and if the unit has DME, show you where they are on a sectional.

For example, if the ACS states that during takeoff the applicant will “maintain V X /V Y as appropriate +10/-5 knots to a safe maneuvering attitude,” focus on nailing the airspeed. If the POH says V X is 67 knots, fly at 67 knots. Chapter 3 in the AIM has details on dimensions of airspace, cloud clearances, and visibility.

When controllers anticipate a delay at a clearance limit or fix, usually due to a high volume of traffic, weather, or both, pilots are usually issued a holding clearance. When ATC issues a clearance requiring you to hold at a fix where a holding pattern is not charted, pilots are issued complete holding instructions.

An ATC clearance is required for operations within Class B airspace. IFR operations require an operable VOR or TACAN receiver or a suitable RNAV system. Class B Speed Limitations Aircraft flying within the Class B airspace may fly at an indicated airspeed of up to 250 knots. Class B can also be defined as controlled airspace.

I launched from runway three-two and pointed for the Snow Hill VOR. I already had set up for Patuxent approach so I switched from CTAF to Pax to pick up my clearance. Once south of Myrtle Beach I was turned direct Charleston VOR. Mary had the garlic knots along with the Italian chop salad. This is where the fun started.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Operating Requirements in Class B Airspace Operational Requirements VFR traffic needs explicit clearance to enter Bravo airspace. If you’re flying under IFR, you don’t need an explicit Bravo clearance. What is Class B Airspace?

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the gloom.
