Any NOTAMS applicable? Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. If we find ourselves rushing or cutting corners to complete the briefing, we most likely need to ask for vectors or holding to consider all the factors. How truly important is this current approach to mission success?

This means that if you encounter these conditions on a particular day, you would need to achieve a higher true airspeed to produce the same lift that would be generated at lower airspeeds in denser air. Check NOTAMs and weather briefings for any density altitude advisories. Is High Air Density Good for Flying?

Spin-a-Wind This app makes it a breeze to calculate headwind/crosswind components, temperature conversions, pressure/density altitude and true airspeed computations, using a pilot-friendly interface. The platform also offers access to Garmin eLearning courses covering the Garmin TXi, Radar and G5000 systems. StationWeather.

True airspeed. Common Mistakes to Avoid: Filing without checking Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs). Keep yourself grounded in what’s important, like checking NOTAMs, choosing realistic alternates, and brushing up on missed approach procedures. Filing an IFR flight plan is easy and involves the following two steps: 1.

What is your range and true airspeed? Read the NOTAMs! But first, take stock of your airplane and skills. Are your IFR chops solid? You probably wont need them, but better that they show up if called upon. This will be a factor. Photo: Don Peterson You need insurance for South America and the Caribbean.
