I assessed my personal condition and noted I was tired, but a short flight and get-home-it-is grabbed me (mistake #3). The Flight Plan I filed an IFR flight plan, KAZO-GIJ-OXI-MAPPS-EON-JOT-ILS2L-KDPA, then VFR to my homebase, 06C. As I crossed the runway threshold, it was solid IMC and I had to go missed.

The Cessna 150 Since I was the only instrument rated pilot on the team, and the weather was marginal VFR, I chose to fly the 172, N7358G, up to Fairfield on an IFR flight plan above the clouds at 7,000 feet. My IFR flight plan called for a climb through some 4,000′ of clouds up to a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet.

An Instrument Rating is an FAA certification that allows you to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Flight canceled. Youll be able to file an IFR flight plan and safely depart, fly through, and arrive in conditions that would otherwise ground a VFR-only pilot. A layer of clouds at 1,800 feet? A busy Class B airport?

AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL. Pilots are required to check for NOTAMs along their relevant routes or locations before the start of a flight. TFRs are published in real-time and can be checked using drone flight planning apps or via LAANC.

What is the minimum ceiling and visibility for takeoff, landing, or entering the traffic pattern of an airport in Class E airspace under visual flight rules? A ceiling of 1,000 feet and have visibility of at least 3 statute miles. VOR/DME must complete an online course covering flight operations in the D.C.

Ceilings were 400 to 700 feet, with visibilities from one to four miles in rain and fog. Eight of these would be non-precision VOR and fixed-card NDB approaches flown to minimums in a non-radar environment. We hand-flew them every minute of every flight. I met Jerry in the crew briefing room and we began flight planning.
