Indicated Airspeed

NOTAMs

Danger lurks in circling approaches

Air Facts

MAY 10, 2024

Any NOTAMS applicable? What specific indicated airspeed will be flown/adhered to during the circling maneuver? If we find ourselves rushing or cutting corners to complete the briefing, we most likely need to ask for vectors or holding to consider all the factors. How truly important is this current approach to mission success?

Check NOTAMs and weather briefings for any density altitude advisories. So, on days when we are taking off or landing at an airfield with low air density, we require faster true airspeeds to generate the required lift. This increased true airspeed, along with other factors increases takeoff and landing distances.
