Turbulence and Triumph: Lessons learned about flying (and about life) Air Facts Journal As pilots, each flight teaches us something new—about aviation, about the world, and about ourselves. The air grew increasingly turbulent, and clouds began to form on the horizon. The turbulence grew stronger, and the clouds loomed closer.

Imagine what it’s like slinging suitcases out on the tarmac when the mercury hits triple digits. Together, this dictates higher takeoff and landing speeds — which, in turn, increases the amount of required runway. How much so will vary with the temperature and runway length.

Currently the airport has 2 terminals, the main and the satallite terminal and uses 2 runways, runway 03L/21R and 03R/21R. The view of the tarmac. There were slight turbulence during this flight and it is nothing compare to my return flight, more on that in my next trip report (Aegean A320ceo SKG-ATH).

The airport tarmac, traffic was very light at that time. Hardly any turbulence during this flight. We landed on runway 21 at Seletar Airport. The sole runway is capable of handling these aircraft. I advise you to grab your bite over here as there is nothing much at the air side. This is the gate area for domestic flights.

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. 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.

This side of the terminal offers view of the tarmac and if you go up to the food court, you are able to do some photography over there. Once done, I entered the airside of the airport. There are a good number of shops and eateries at the airside. Credit card holders can access this lounge.

The airport mayhave 2 runways (runway 14/32 and runway 09/27) but only one runway is in operation (09/27) and if this runway is in maintenance, the other runway will be in used. Once we reached runway 27, we departed just minutes after our schedule departure time. So overall, this flight was smooth.
