Since static pressure changes with altitude and weather, the static port provides a constant reading of the current atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric, or static pressure, varies with altitude and weather. As the name implies, the VSI shows the rate of the aircrafts climb or descent. Together, this is called total pressure.

On that day, the weather forecast was favorable, with light and variable winds. I checked the weather updates, which still showed no significant changes. I communicated my intentions and began my descent. When the wheels finally made contact with the tarmac, I felt a profound sense of relief mixed with frustration.

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. Not long after, we started our descent into Subang Airport. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. On the day of departure My first stop of the day was to meet a good friend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It was not a bad day for flying.

Cactus Garden allows aviation geeks to view some aircraft at the tarmac. Just took off in this dreadful weather. The weather didn't look too bad. At this point, we started our descent into Hat Yai. This is the viewing gallery at Terminal 1. This is where my flight was departing. There it is, my ride to Hat Yai!

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. Once we were on our way, we flew through a bit of turbulence but once the weather was better, the seat belt sign was turned off. Goodbye Frankfurt!

The view of the tarmac. Rolling down the runway in this beautiful weather. Not long after, we started our descent. There was a bit of light turbulence during our descent. We passed by this A320CEO being prepared for departure. A lot of Aegean airlines aircraft waiting for their next duty. Beautiful, isn't it?

Plane spotting and photography are possible at the international airside as the windows offer unobstructed clear view of the tarmac and you get great views like these photos below. Rolling down the runway in this gloomy weather. At this point we have entered the UK airspace and started our descent. Thanks for the memories.
