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. The altimeter is the only instrument in small aircraft that gives the pilot altitude information.

Rather, it is affected by many factors, such as weather conditions and the presence of obstacles. Examples of information that can be communicated by an FSS include weather advisories, traffic advisories, navigational aids, or information from military bases or homeland security. BVLOS is not defined by any specific distance.

Even slowed by a 25 knot headwind, the airplane still saved time. From flight planning, I knew that we would experience rain, instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), and darkness. We learned the next day that a circuit breaker for the weather sensing instrumentation tripped, but the transmitter still worked.

This is often the result of the aircraft picking up excessive airspeed as a result of pilot disorientation in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), followed by an abrupt pitch-up after exiting the bottom of the cloud. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots. Those are the things we don’t know.

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. With as much as 25 knots of tailwind, we made the flight from Sodus to Alton Bay in only two hours.

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. The aircraft was 44 knots higher than its target landing speed, which resulted in a runway overrun. The risk of losing control is higher in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night.
