Here are the areas you should read up on: Landing irregularities : Information on crosswind landings will help you escape a tight situation and get back on the ground safely. At these heights, you could get into turbulence and gusty crosswinds. Has it been a while since youve flown in these conditions?

Additional operational modes include instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) navigation guidance, primary mode for all flight phases, and visual meteorological conditions (VMC) mode for visual glideslope display to the runway touchdown point, which is ideal for night approaches.

No Visual References This scenario is particularly true for instrument pilots flying in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). There are several criteria that must be met for a pilot to descend below Decision Altitude/Decision Height (DA/DH) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) on an instrument approach.

That day would be even more challenging because of a strong crosswind, but the companys CEO was bringing several important clients for a weekend of skiing at the resort near the airport. This often means encountering wicked and gusty crosswinds. In 2022, this Hawker 800XP ran off the runway at ASE (Aspen CO) after aborting takeoff.

For instance, if an aircraft is on the crosswind leg, they’ll ask you to extend the upwind If you don’t have the time, that’s okay. The risk of losing control is higher in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night. So, it’s important to use the flight instruments to maintain control.

Thaws, rain, snow, and strong crosswinds can temporarily close the airport. Within a a few minutes of going IFR, we emerged into clear air on the other side of the lake effect snow band and made for Sodus where I flew a practice RNAV-28 instrument approach with the autopilot. hours in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
