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

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. This was my flight's final assigned gate. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport. Goodbye Frankfurt!

ADS-B provides real-time traffic information and almost-live NEXRAD radar and weather data. More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. Research and planning is worth the effort.

However, he mentioned that there was turbulence along the way, not a surprise especially June to October period is usually the typhoon season and bad weather is quite common. I wonder whether was it because of the bad weather on route that caused us to push back late. We lifted off almost effortlessly.

But getting there from Rochester, NY is never a simple task and not only requires the runway to be open with favorable conditions, but the weather between here and there must be amenable to a six hour round trip there and back again. Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold.

The aircraft was filled to full fuel and the pilot’s departure and flight to Murwillumbah was uneventful until the final approach to Murwillumbah. That day, the weather was clear with light wind. With a temperature of 26-27°C and dew point at 16.7, there was a high likelihood of carburettor icing.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. The Mooney is well-equipped for weather avoidance as it is equipped with a sophisticated spheric lighting detector. After a few attempts, Unicom finally answered with a yes, the Saratoga is at the gas pump.

A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. Go-arounds have little margin for error. Practice helps to avoid poor performance.

Distance, weather, and varying piloting abilities, risk tolerances, and personalities add challenges to planning and carrying out these types of trips. While the reality of the weather validated this decision, it was the beginning of what became a frustrating streak of weather related club event cancellations that persisted well into June.

But don’t hang up your headset just because the weather isn’t perfect. Use weather forecast charts, METARs, and Terminal Area Forecasts (TAFs). Have the winds changed since your departure weather briefing? Preparing Your Approach Decide if you want to use the crab or the sideslip approach.

This weather phenomenon is called a microburst , one of aviations deadliest threats. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. With nothing left to lift it, the core has nowhere else to go but down. Can More Than One Microburst Occur in the Same Weather System?

He frequently hosted visiting pilots, providing them with detailed briefings of the area and the weather. The CAPE index, a measure of convective energy and instability, was below 100 joules, indicating a very low probability of severe weather or thunderstorms. Sometimes you fly through virga and you can even find yourself in lift.

Louis, back to Lake of the Ozarks, and finally terminating at Fort Leonard Wood. However, in VFR weather, we often flew without the luxury of a copilot, especially if the manifest showed 10 passengers. With that as justification, I neglected to lift the elevator and continued on my way around the airplane.

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 aircrafts landing gear is retractable, which must be extended during the final approach.

Therefore it is common for flight delays in departure and arrival especially if the weather is bad. Anyway, fortunately for us, the ride into Delhi was smooth, hardly any turbulence and furthermore the Captain told us the good news and that is the stormy weather forecasted earlier had cleared. So overall, this flight was smooth.
