To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building. Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay. Goodbye Frankfurt!

There was turbulence from time to time and the seatbelt sign came on a few times. Once we reached near the threshold, we waited for this China Eastern A330 to land before we depart. We lifted off in slightly bumpy conditions. Once again, no announcements from the flight deck and the flight purser did the job.

Some gust fronts can be completely harmless or may be a precursor for an encounter with severe turbulence and dangerous low-level convective wind shear. These gust fronts often contain severe or extreme turbulence, strong and gusty straight-line winds, and low-level convective wind shear.

At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly. This meant that there would be no getting into Sodus unless the ceiling lifted. We broke out right at the missed approach point which is much too high and close to the runway threshold to make a normal landing.

The J-4, also known as a Cub Coupe, had been dropped off in Kennett for annual in 2008 by its then-owner and ended up becoming a permanent resident when Hurricane Ike stretched inland all the way to the Missouri Bootheel, lifting it from the ground and depositing it on top of the FBO’s maintenance hangar.

Unless the weather lifted before we arrived, there would be no getting into Port Huron. I felt another flash of irritation when the Arrow stopped on the runway and dawdled for a while as we rapidly closed the distance with the runway threshold on short final. It was a typical turbulent, gusty, unpredictable Mackinac Island arrival.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. We reached the threshold of runway 27. So overall, this flight was smooth.
