Instead of dialing Flight Service to file a VFR flight plan, they can submit it from the same app they use to check NOTAMs and METARs. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, pilots can insert waypoints and alternate airports, check elevation profiles, and even run simulated flights to preview their trip.

These AHAs define the temporarily closed airspace that would be established and published through a NOTAM prior to the launch/reentry. The booster will also descend at a higher angle of attack, intended to increase drag, lower speed, and burn less propellant.

When that big Hartzell prop flattens out, it produces a lot of drag that lets one nicely fine-tune speed and rate of descent. We experimented with varying descents from an emergency descent profile—from coming down at nearly 10,000 fpm to seeing if we could cure being high and fast on an arrival procedure.

Widgets are essentially data blocks that can be configured to show airport information, including METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, and NOTAMs. So if you want to see how visibility is dropping along your route, slowly drag the slider to the right and watch the METAR move along your route.

However, the increased drag might make it impossible to take off again. Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. You might find a NOTAM about your destination’s surface conditions. Don’t depend on NOTAMs to provide up-to-date information on soft field conditions.

I was initially flummoxed by the drag strip extending southward from the east end of runway 28 and flew downwind with a big offset from the runway to avoid flying over massive bleachers packed with hot rod enthusiasts. The latter explained why the runway lights were NOTAMed out of service.) Warrior 481 at Norwalk-Huron County Airport.

Icing: Ice buildup can reduce lift and increase drag. Terrain and NOTAMs Weather isnt the only thing you have to consider. On top of that, you should always check NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) before your flight. What do NOTAMs do? Which aspects of the weather should you watch out for?
