These all seem pretty logical to us as drivers, but too much of the time, we don’t think defensively as pilots in our flying. Unlike commercial flights with robust support systems, GA pilots rely on their skills and instruments. Any of these lead a pilot down a path that could result in further complications—or worse.

The pilot can ask for the visual, or ATC can assign it. However, the pilot must have the airport, or the preceding aircraft, in sight. Dont be fooled because you still have a transponder code. You must maintain VFR cloud clearances appropriate for the airspace. In practice, it often requires more. There are workarounds.

Key Takeaways VFR flight following offers real-time help and improves pilots’ situational awareness. Aircraft must have a radio and transponder to receive flight following. ATC will advise pilots using flight following services of any other aircraft observed on the radar that will be in close proximity.

For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. For VFR flight, controlled airspace means increased cloud clearance and visibility requirements. For the VFR pilot flying in B, C, and D airspace, there are communication and/or clearance requirements.

This day was my first real ferry gig in a crew of 6 pilots flying three brand new Piper Archers all the way to exotic India… as slow as we could go. We tried to fly as direct as possible letting controllers and the leader Macksolo of the formation dealing with proper clearances. Oh I was so excited !

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. This hardly seems equitable, but is a reality that pilots have borne for many years. ounce toiletries.

While VFR flights rely on seeing outside the aircraft, IFR procedures allow pilots to navigate precisely when they cannot see the ground, horizon, or surrounding terrain. Note : While the 1-2-3 rule may indicate you don’t legally need an alternate, experienced pilots often file one anyway. PIREPs : Pilot weather reports.

They were descending from cruise altitude to 8,000 feet with a clearance to fly direct to navigation fix TAMMI. Air traffic control, responding to the pilots odd transmission, simplified the clearance, issuing just a heading and an altitude. Then the pilot said: Hang on. ATC announced loss of transponder data.

If there was one thing that shook my nerves every time as a beginning pilot, it was talking to ATC. Thankfully, as many pilots are quick to discover, radio comms are not really as intimidating as they seem. Even so, no pilot should ever hesitate to ask for clarification if something does not make sense.

However, right from the start of the year, this figure would have been significantly higher but for pilot professionalism, improved aircraft technology, and, of course, a dose of good fortune. A pilot was killed, one person was seriously injured and two more suffered minor injuries. Neither pilot was injured. No hay heridos.
