For example, if the ACS states that during takeoff the applicant will “maintain V X /V Y as appropriate +10/-5 knots to a safe maneuvering attitude,” focus on nailing the airspeed. If the POH says V X is 67 knots, fly at 67 knots. Every time. The examiner will supply the destination.

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. A sudden wind shift, a 10-knot or greater speed increase, a 45-degree or more direction change, or gusts exceeding limits may also cause a SPECI. Runway visual range (RVR). Station identifier.

This was indeed the case as I observed my GPS indicated ground speed to be 165 Knots. I encountered unexpected headwinds to start, slowing my groundspeed down to 75 knots at times. Landing in Moriarty was somewhat odd and memorable, as I was expecting a busy airport with its long runways and did not encounter a single soul.

Not only must you fly unnervingly slow, but you also have to pick a spot on the runway and hit it. It’s a runway that is too short for a normal takeoff or landing but still usable with certain precautions. This allows them to safely operate into and out of these tight runways. You’re not alone.

But landing it safely on the runway is a skill. Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. If you aren’t in alignment with the runway at 500 ft or are off speed or profile, go around.

A 10-knot tailwind was also in our favor as the Cessna tracked around 150 knots over the ground. His was to watch for traffic, take pictures, and monitor that my altimeter stayed at 1,300 feet msl.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number).

Drawbacks: For takeoff, a tailwind significantly increases the required runway length and results in a shallower climb angle. Effects: It will try to push your aeroplane sideways off the runway centreline. Altimeter errors can also occur due to pressure changes. Benefits: During the cruise phase, a tailwind is excellent news!

Airports such as ATL and JFK have multiple runways and cover around 5,000 acres of land. This effectively limits traffic in Class B to 250 knots due to 14 CFR § 91.117(a). Traffic flying under a shelf or through a VFR corridor needs to stay below 200 knots. Class B airports are not only busy, they’re usually big as well.
