Particular attention to trueairspeed vs. turn radius. If you depart MDA on the downwind or base leg, you’re on your own as far as obstacle clearance. Be fully configured and on speed prior to receiving landing clearance. Specific discussion to neighboring terrain features such as buildings, towers, hills, trees.
For example, if we were to takeoff on an airfield at sea level at 0C (32F), it would take 1520ft to reach our obstacle clearance height of 50ft. Whereas for the same airfield on a different day, if it were 30C (86F), that same obstacle clearance height would take 1880ft. That’s an extra 360ft!
With jet cruise trueairspeeds between 400 and 500 kts, this has a big effect on ground speed, and therefore on cruise performance and efficiency. The TMI number is important as sometimes you need to read it back after receiving your clearance via voice. NAT clearance is normally requested, received, and confirmed via CPDLC.

Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (
The app includes 65 airports and hundreds of potential scenarios, so you can practice getting an IFR clearance at a Class D airport, talking to tower at a Class C airport, or making position reports at a non-towered airport. PlaneEnglish This training app offers a variety of scenarios to learn and perfect your aviation communication skills.
Your aircraft will fly at a faster trueairspeed at higher density altitudes. This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing.
Trueairspeed. Pay attention to aircraft clearances, altitude assignments, and position reports, even when they’re not directed to you. Filing an IFR flight plan is easy and involves the following two steps: 1. Gather Essential Information Aircraft identification. Type of flight. Aircraft type and special equipment.
What is your range and trueairspeed? I rarely received an entire clearance when requesting IFR while en route. But first, take stock of your airplane and skills. Are your IFR chops solid? You probably wont need them, but better that they show up if called upon. This will be a factor. When the skies are largely empty, its easy.
