The J-4, also known as a Cub Coupe, had been dropped off in Kennett for annual in 2008 by its then-owner and ended up becoming a permanent resident when Hurricane Ike stretched inland all the way to the Missouri Bootheel, lifting it from the ground and depositing it on top of the FBO’s maintenance hangar.

At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly. Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground. Still IFR, but barely.

These control surfaces dictate the aircraft’s roll, and this allows it to bank smoothly through turns or even recover from turbulence. Key Takeaways Ailerons control the aircrafts roll by adjusting lift on each wing. The aircrafts wing is able to generate lift due to its shape. Why does this increase the lift?

With a light load, our aircraft lifted off quickly. Not long after, we started our descent into Subang Airport. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. We waited for a short while before departing. It was not a bad day for flying. Singapore's sea traffic is usually busy. On final approach to SZB's runway 15.

There was turbulence from time to time and the seatbelt sign came on a few times. At this point, we started our descent into Singapore, flying near Malaysia. We lifted off in slightly bumpy conditions. The windows were unlocked when we started our descent. The limited selection of hollywood movie.

To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building. Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay.

Anti-Ice, Rain: flight deck window heat, windshield wipers, probe heat, and anti-ice/de-ice systems that either prevent ice from accumulating on lift generating surfaces and engines, or break the ice off after it’s accumulated. Descent planning can be complicated and needs to be done more than 100 miles from the destination.

There were some patches of moderate lift and sink as would be expected on a normal summer soaring day. Under normal circumstances Shmulik would have had sufficient altitude to delay the landing by several minutes: his glider’s minimum descent rate in still air was just 100 fpm.

Part of that even lifts up, to expose a shallow, enclosed storage area, big enough for a phone or passport.

Theres a large counter area to the side of the seat, where you can place things during the flight.

To get the extra lift required for the turns, I had to dive to get extra airspeed so that the plane could turn at that same AOA. This descent used the same technique that (would have) had value in many of the NTSB accidents involving engine failure after takeoff.

Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing. The pre-landing check is the first step in ensuring the aircraft is ready for a stable descent. Additionally, configure the aircraft for a stable descent.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. We lifted off effortless towards the grumpy skies. Soon, it was our turn.
