Ceiling Runway True Airspeed

Operations below minimums on an instrument approach can be quite simple if the ceilings and visibilities are significantly above minimums. But when the chips are down along with the ceilings and visibilities, things arent quite so simple. I think I have the runway lights in sight, is not good enough. You have to be sure.

He then taxied to the runway and experienced an extended ground delay with the engine running at idle engine power settings. The airplane then descended back to the runway and bounced before lifting off nose-high again toward the end of the runway. He did not use carburetor heat during the ground delay or during takeoff.

Since the 7,600-foot main runway was unavailable, I ran the numbers for the lightly-loaded Cardinal for takeoff on the 4,400-foot cross runway. The first half of the takeoff was on a slight downgrade, acceleration seemed OK, and we broke ground about the same time as we crossed the longer Runway 21 Left/3 Right.

We found a flaps up, power-off stall speed of 47 mph indicated airspeed, and full-flap stall speed of 42 mph indicated. We did power versus true airspeed checks at 7,500 feet on a standard atmosphere and temperature day. None had trouble keeping the airplane relatively near the runway centerline on rollout.

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? Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is sufficient for normal takeoff needs.

An acceptable meteorological combination of ceiling, visibility, and wind. Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. What is the runway lighting? Only accurate within 10 degrees of runway heading). A known degree of familiarity with the airfield and surrounding terrain. Who then flies and who monitors?
