Do not use Windex on airplane windscreens—ever. The ammonia in Windex can weaken and compromise the plexiglass and give it a hazy appearance. Follow the directions on the bottle.

Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. You might find a NOTAM about your destination’s surface conditions. Don’t depend on NOTAMs to provide up-to-date information on soft field conditions. If the runway is too wet, it might be temporarily closed.

If you are going to be using this approach, be sure you have checked NOTAMs verifying that all of the VORs are functional. With two radios in most airplanes and standby frequencies, this would keep a pilot working to make sure they were navigating using the correct source at different points to align with this approach.
