The hourly sequence report showed Springfield had a ceiling of 100 feet obscured, a visibility of 3/8 mile and fog with a surface temperature of 30 degrees F. The forecast at our arrival time at Jefferson City was for a ceiling of 1,200′ overcast with a visibility of four miles in fog.

Performance may be degraded when placed on the cockpit dashboard or under the aircrafts canopy/ceiling window due to window material, deicing technology, and glass angle. Vertical placement against a cabin window typically leads to poor connectivity. If using USB-C power, ensure you have the newer 2.0

As the pilot responded, the airplane bank angle increased to 90 degrees and the airspeed exceeded 260 knots, then the aircraft experienced structural failure and hit the water. When an air carrier declares an emergency due to a loss of a VOR or other instrumentation, I get an email. ATC asked the pilot to verify his heading.

VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. Next, introduce the VOR. It’s just a few minutes, right?

I expected to manage some cloud layers during the New York portion of the flight, but the forecast called for a high ceiling at Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. I pulled the power back and set a notch of flaps to establish a 90 knot, 500 foot/minute descent.

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. New York’s Class B airspace has a 7,000-foot ceiling, allowing more room for overflying aircraft.

AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL. It consists of two independent components VOR and TACAN. LLWS Low-Level Wind Shear An LLWS is defined as a wind shear of 10 knots or more per 100 feet in a layer more than 200 feet thick which occurs within 2000 feet of the surface.
