The first step is reviewing the flight plan, a detailed document outlining the route, weather conditions, fuel requirements and potential alternate airports in case of emergency. Weather plays a crucial role. Passengers might notice the plane moving slowly on the tarmac. While rare, emergencies do happen.

Since static pressure changes with altitude and weather, the static port provides a constant reading of the current atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric, or static pressure, varies with altitude and weather. As the name implies, the VSI shows the rate of the aircrafts climb or descent. Together, this is called total pressure.

You are able to view the traffic of the tarmac from the windows of the corridor which lead to the end of the pier. The rest of the flight was uneventful and even though the weather at Milan was dominated with grey clouds threatening to rain at any moment that time, the ride was smooth and landed very early. Let's check out the gates.

Cactus Garden allows aviation geeks to view some aircraft at the tarmac. Just took off in this dreadful weather. The weather didn't look too bad. At this point, we started our descent into Hat Yai. This is the viewing gallery at Terminal 1. This is where my flight was departing. There it is, my ride to Hat Yai!

On that day, the weather forecast was favorable, with light and variable winds. I checked the weather updates, which still showed no significant changes. I communicated my intentions and began my descent. When the wheels finally made contact with the tarmac, I felt a profound sense of relief mixed with frustration.

The view of the tarmac while waiting for my aircraft to arrive. Such beautiful weather on this day. The city of Tokyo After flying for sometime, there were clouds below us and at this point, we started our descent. Unlike the weather in Tokyo, it was gloomy at our destination. I picked up a cup of iced coffee at Tully's.

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. Not long after, we started our descent into Subang Airport. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. On the day of departure My first stop of the day was to meet a good friend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It was not a bad day for flying.
