That’s because each one assists you in navigating to the runway based on the weather and your aircraft equipment. When flying an LPV approach, your GPS provides accurate vertical and lateral guidance as low as 200 feet above the runway. Plan for holding or missed approaches. Always have a backup (ILS/VOR).

However, there was a presidential TFR (temporary flight restriction) around Scranton that lay on a direct line between Sodus and Philly. It added less than 10 minutes to the overall flight time. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. Runway and raindrops.

With flight following, they vectored us south almost to Kansas City explaining that south was the new east and the best way to get to the race VFR. The VOR was useless, so I was now flying IFD (I Follow Directions) zig zagging across the country getting new vectors from time to time. What a parking problem they were having.

During flight planning, I determined that 8,000 feet would provide the best wind advantage of the available preferred westbound IFR cruise altitudes. West of the Geneseo VOR, I passed high above Silver Lake and the gorge in Letchworth State Park. Looking north to the east end of Lake Erie and Buffalo, NY. South Bass Island.

For example: Pilot: Seattle Approach, Cessna November Four Five One Romeo, Two Zero miles west of Seattle VOR, at 8,000, with Sierra, to land. Every flight has those. The departure runway and the departure procedure. For example, ATC: Fly runway heading until two miles from Kennedy VOR, then turn right, heading one zero zero.

I completed my pre flight with only needing to sump fuel on departure day. My Garmin 480 is updated and I have my flight plan ready for entry after planning on Foreflight. After warming the oil I taxied for runway two and picked up my super secret squawk code to get out with the TFR in place. Saturday 11.4

To start our flying day I must stress the most important part of flight planning, ADM, Aeronautical Decision Making. It's now 7am and our planned departure time was 9am arriving just after noon. Most of the flight required a ten degree cut to maintain the planned course but at least the ride was smooth.

New Adventures in Flight Planning and Filing I decided to test-drive my PIN and the whole FRZ process for the first time as my annual fall solo flight in October of 2023. Any flight into the FRZ requires a FRZ flight plan. Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing.

In order to reach College Park, pilots must receive specific training from the FAA, undergo vetting by the TSA to earn a personal identification number (PIN) necessary to authorize flight plans within the FRZ, and follow the unique and specific rules for operating into and out of the FRZ. If that sounds intimidating, it is. Tough room.

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights. After 50 minutes, we were taxiing to the runway. Our initial climb rate was 500-600 feet/minute.

Since then, the former airbase has seen its runways either truncated (9-27), deleted (15-33), or transformed into taxiways (4-22). Today, it is home to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM, part of the broader Ingenium collection of museums in Ottawa) housed within a 1988 facility built along former runway 22 (taxiway D).

But I also needed to be airborne at 3:00 pm or else amend my flight plan and arrival time with US Customs in Ogdensville, NY. She disclosed that she took flight lessons when she was younger, but only had experience with Cessnas. My filed route to Ogdensburg was via YOW (the Ottawa VOR) and IKLAX. Is that a Piper?"

Tom and I filed via the Rockdale VOR, which was a starting point on the Nobbi Five arrival procedure used in the greater New York area. That was a good plan. Final, runway 34, photographed from Two Six Romeo. We were cleared to land number four on runway 34 and asked to keep our speed up to accommodate a Pilatus behind us.
