This airport is a hub for Iberia, Level, Air Nostrum and Vueling and operates 3 runways, 06L/24R, 06R/24L and 02/20. Currently the airport has 2 runways 17L/35R and 17R/35L and operates 2 terminals. Our aircraft pushed back on time and the Captain made the usual welcome speech and also told us to expect some turbulence along the way.

There was no announcement about the weather on route but we experienced some turbulence during our take off and along the cruise but nothing bad at all. Once our engines were started, we were given clearance to taxi and head towards the runway. It was soon our turn as we entered the active runway.

While the larger bins are great, I’ve gotta say, they do make the cabin feel a bit more claustrophobic, as they give less clearance over your head. View taxiing Iberia Airbus A321XLR I loved the views of planes on the way to the runway, like of the Wamos Air A330, World2Fly A350, and Boliviana de Aviacion A330 (SWOON!).

Paula and Gilead requested a pop-up IFR clearance and flew at an intermediate altitude between those of us up high and the others down low. I expected the gusty wind to create an uncomfortable ride down low, but the turbulence was mild. Patrick, Elizabeth, Zoe, and Sam stayed below the ceiling in their two airplanes.

We took off about 45 minutes after our schedule departure time and it was quite windy as we hit some turbulence during our climb. It got a bit intense that I had to hold on to the seat in front of me due to the updraft and downdraft motion while flying through clear air turbulence. We were given the clearance to enter the runway.

While the aircraft was being given taxi clearance, there was a minor misunderstanding, which wasn’t a big deal (but I still think it’s important context, since the Aeromexico pilot is in the wrong here): ATC: “Aeromexico 401, cross runway 31R at echo, follow the 777 ANA on charlie.” That’s seven miles.”

While we were sitting in the airplane on the morning of the flight, the pilot received his IFR clearance, which kept us on the eastern route. New York clearance delivery would not give us a southwestern departure because of heavy flow in and out of the congested New York airports. The ice began to melt.

Gone are the days of making an educated guess on a route, only to have ATC respond with a full route clearance with intersections and airways. It now takes only a moment in ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot or FltPlan.com to enter a departure and destination airport and then see recently issued clearances to other aircraft flying the same route.

The airpoort has 4 runways: 09/27, 10/28 , 11L/29R and 11R/29L. It's not easy to arrive early at Mumbai due to the heavy traffic and also the airport operates a single runway for both departure and landing. Anyway we were informed about the turbulence and for this flight, the first officer did the announcements.

We made an IFR departure that morning on runway 16 and climbed above the ceiling in short order. But I accepted the clearance knowing that I could change it with a local Approach control like Syracuse. At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly.

The weather in Singapore at that time was having a bit of thunderstorm so it was not a surprise that the Captain warned us of some turbulence to be expected during take off but for the rest of the flight, the weather would be fine and the most important news is that we would arrive ahead of schedule. We started rolling down the runway.

We waited for another 10 minutes before finally given the clearance to board the aircraft, I wonder what was the cause of the delay. As this was the first time sitting quite front in the Boeing 767-400ER, I find it to be quite noisy during take off and there was quite a bit of turbulence during the flight. Welcome back to the U.S!

Seeing a plume of snow billowing from the peak of Whiteface, I was concerned about experiencing turbulence downwind of the peak, but the air remained benign all the way around. Even if we managed to miss all the clouds on our way down to the waiting runway, I would still be able to count the approach toward currency.

It consists of one terminal and a single runway as shown below. The runway is 04/22 is about 3,354 metre is capable of operating large aircraft such as 747 Freighters, however the airport infrastructure is unable to accommodate the A380. After take off, we hit some turbulence while climbing to our assigned flight level.

It had a short runway which was often contaminated with snow and ice. The pilots reduced power to bleed altitude, but, given the short distance to the runway, they knew they would land long. Some approaches even require specialized pilot training to receive clearance. N either pilot liked this mountain airport.

I queried ATC about when to expect the approach clearance and was informed that the Saratoga had appeared to land but the pilot hadn’t contacted ATC to close his IFR flight plan. I would then level off, slow down, dirty up, run a tight circle to land on the opposing runway. The IAF was looming closer. The little voice agreed.

You can’t cancel IFR, because you won’t be able to maintain VFR cloud clearance requirements. Include the runway you’d like to use when the destination is a towered airport. If the conditions and traffic permit, you’ll be given the clearance along with instructions for how to proceed if you’re unable to land success-fully.
