I don’t have such a story since I am always diligent about minimizing my exposure to adverse weather when I am the pilot in command (PIC). While we were sitting in the airplane on the morning of the flight, the pilot received his IFR clearance, which kept us on the eastern route. The ice began to melt.

A great landing from the PIC (Pilot-in-command) The taxi from runway 27L didn't take long and we reached our gate in less than 10 minutes. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the automated machines for clearance into the country. We parked besides Singapore Airlines and that reminded me of my flight home a few days later.

Even at the end, as the right-seat passenger pointed out “we’re sideways,” the pilot was thinking only about the panel, saying “it’ll navigate” and “activate vectors.” There was absolutely nothing wrong with the airplane—it just needed a pilot in command to be in command. Just go around—all the way around.

High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. Here is an example of an FDC NOTAM (domestic format) asking pilots to verify the aircraft’s departure procedure is correct: !FDC FDC NOTAMs also provide information about TFRs and other special airspace.

Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! Window view photos (Take off to Landing) The rainy condition caused some delays in departure and arrival but fortunately for us, we didn't wait long to obtain the clearance to push back and depart. I can enjoy the movie and watch the flight map at the same time. Here we are.
