While most of it tends to be hidden away either in the cabin ceiling space or under the cabin floor panels, some of it – particularly the air conditioning riser ducts – is fitted in the cabin walls at certain intervals, making the inclusion of a window at that position impossible.

Among the performance elements are takeoff and landing distances, rate of climb, ceiling, speed, payload, and fuel economy. What is the headwind component for a landing on Runway 18 if the tower reports the wind as 215° at 30 knots? Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6.

By now, it was dark and the weather in Gaithersburg had deteriorated with fog and low cloud ceilings. However, the METAR for their destination showed an overcast ceiling at 200 feet above ground level and fog. Runway 14, a 4,202 foot runway , was in use.

Runway visual range (RVR) under 2,400 feet triggers a SPECI, and another is issued if it rises to 2,400 feet or more within 10 minutes. Cloud ceilings below 1,500 feet or cumulonimbus clouds can trigger a SPECI. Well, these events can quickly affect visibility or runway conditions so much that they call for a special report.

I completed the rest of the leg with a routine flight and some more mountain terrain with spectacular views although I did encounter solid cloud ceilings with the terrain sometimes less than a thousand feet below me and the cloud layer 500 feet above. Additionally, the needle on my altimeter at one point was swinging through 500 increments!

Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. This central core extends up to around 10,000 feet MSL, the airspace’s ceiling. However, the ceiling for each shelf is the same as the core. Although Class B airspace has a typical ceiling of 10,000 feet MSL, exceptions exist.
