Of course, you don’t need one to fly cross-country, or to use advanced avionics, but it would make these sorts of business cross-countries less susceptible to some weather delays. And this summer afternoon did have weather. The Saratoga, like most single-engine piston aircraft, was not equipped with a weather radar dish.

Approaching their destination, the pilot asked Memphis Center ATC for an airport weather report. Ran into weather. The pilot requested weather reports for Paragould (KPGR) and Jonesboro (KJBR) airports. There was VFR weather to the west, so they turned right, climbed up to 4,000 feet, and headed west. Can’t see anything.”

Aeronautical experience in the regulations does not require that you have any actual instrument flight time to obtain your instrument rating. That’s correct, you can earn your instrument rating with flight time only in simulated conditions. The next and more complicated step is to try seeking out these conditions.

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. There has been no information to date on what avionics and autopilot might have been installed.

From flight planning, I knew that we would experience rain, instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), and darkness. Mitigating factors included no risk of convection (thunderstorms) or icing at our cruise altitude of 5,000 feet and VFR conditions expected to prevail at Saratoga Springs for our landing.

However, the static pressure around the pitot tube is constantly changing due to altitude and weather. One thing a pilot must keep in mind is that changes in weather conditions along their route causes changes in the atmospheric pressure, regardless of maintaining the same indicated altitude.

However, a forecast for low IFR weather in that part of Maine led us to cancel it. I had no interest in flying one hour north only to be shut out of our destination by weather below minimums for the available instrument approach procedure. We spent some time in instrument meteorological conditions over Vermont.

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. The risk of losing control is higher in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night. So, it’s important to use the flight instruments to maintain control.

As our trip to Sleepy Hollow neared, forecasts for IFR weather inspired a shuffling of airplanes and pilots so that our seven adventurers were distributed among three IFR-capable airplanes with current IFR pilots. Eventually, we passed through the cold front that had pushed the dismal weather into Sodus that morning.
