As briefed, we launched and headed to and entered one of our low-level training routes to fly tactical formation (below) at 500 feet AGL and 480 knots. As we neared MacDill, I maintained 300 knots as I let down to 1,500 AGL, which is the pattern airspeed and altitude at MacDill.

From a flight safety standpoint, the app will alert you to a high cabin altitude, nearby terrain/obstacles, high sink rates, descent through 500 AGL, and nearby traffic and carbon monoxide when coupled with a Sentry ADS-B receiver. In the air, theyll notify when approaching Class, B, C or D airspace, a TFR or the Washington, D.C.

Because I want to fly jets, sir!” I’ve been flying jets for years as a corporate pilot, but not real jets to some … like fighter jets. My goal in these Gauntlet jet-training sessions? But good jet flying is still demanding. built fighter jet—including the narrow and mildly pressurized (4 psi) cockpit.

Altitude: I will enter the pattern high enough that I can be confident that I can complete the turn to final at about 1000 AGL even if I hit enormous sink. (In In some situations this may require a pattern entry at 2000-3000 ft AGL). We should make more pro-active use of our radios to warn other aviators of threatening weather.

The fast jets and faster-talking controllers can be intimidating. These simpler classes cannot handle major international airports’ constant high-speed jet traffic. Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. It’s understandable. Managing so many aircraft is challenging.

It was a very close-up shot as the drone came in low and fast (500-1000 feet AGL at 500+ knots); the crew had no time to react, except to look up. The gun was in plain sight and the briefer told me they believed the gun had just arrived and was being positioned/camouflaged when the Firebee took the picture. which was also our target.

With armored cockpits and big jets, this isn’t even a viable daydream. Even just passing through, the views are magnificent at 2,500 feet AGL running up the coast in the fall. While Nantucket has commuter airline service, and a lot of business jet activity, there were enough flyers like us that we didn’t feel out of place.

After we decided this, we heard a Challenger jet announce “Taxiing to 26 for takeoff”. It’s worth noting that Shmulik had a close call in the past: a jet pulled onto the runway in front of him with no radio call. This near miss was avoided only by the jet taking off immediately in front of him. He tried again, with no reply.

The reason why the crew operated the aircraft outside of limitations and continued an unstable approach that resulted in an accident, was that they were racing another jet to the runway. The GOM also called for the airspeed to be “on target” at such altitudes respectively. The response from the PIC was, “we know it.”

There was an overcast at 1,300 agl (1,850 msl), but no precipitation and good visibility below the clouds. That instructor, who had 10,000 hours in jets and 3,000 in Citations, provided a more nuanced assessment. He was type rated in the jet. It was a little before 11 a.m. The weather was benign. The trip was simple.
