deviates slightly, using statute miles for visibility, feet for RVR, knots for wind speed, and inches of mercury for altimetry, while reporting temperature and dew point in Celsius. In our case, the first two numbers are saying that the wind is blowing at a speed of 4 knots. m/s) gusting to 41 MPH (36 knots; 18.5

Our NIFA team of pilots would travel to other colleges and compete in sanctioned competition involving precise navigation, pre-flight inspections, accuracy landings, and simulated bomb drops into a barrel from 100 AGL feet using bean bags as bombs. The weather enroute was marginal VFR, but flyable for the Cessna 150 pilots.

AGL Above Ground Level AGL is simply a way to tell the basis from which any given height or altitude is measured. Simply put, 400 feet AGL means that the 400 feet is measured from the underlying ground surface above the specific airspace. This is as opposed to other altitude measurements, such as AMSL or above mean sea level.

The route is simple, GPS direct, but…there’s my personal 1,000-foot en route ceiling requirement, and those silly Smoky Mountains. Also, from when I lived out West, there was the mountaintop clearance guideline—1,000 feet for every 10 knots of wind, with 30 knots meaning no-go. It was now time to plan the trip.
