Touch and go – aircraft lands on the runway and then accelerates to take off again. If it’s a taxi clearance, familiarize yourself with routes to the active runway. For a flight following clearance, use the CRAFT mnemonic. IFR vs VFR Radio Calls Different flight rules have different radio calls.

Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS).

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. It added less than 10 minutes to the overall flight time. Runway and raindrops. Foolish mortal.

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.

Instrument flying is all about mentally staying ahead of the aircraft. The approach procedure is often the most complicated part of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. The heading contains the city, state, airport, runway, and approach name. Are there runway closures? Is the ILS operational?
