Currently, this airport host both domestic and international flights and have 4 runways in operation. They are runway 01L/19R, 01R/19L, 18R/36L and 18L/36R. At this point, it was on final approach into New Chitose Airport. In 2024, this airport was awarded the most improved airport in the world for 2024 by Skytrax.

The airport layout of CDG airport This airport consists of 4 runways, (08L/26R, 08R/26L, 09L/27R and 09R/27L) and was opened in March 1974. However after pushing back while on the way to the runway, I managed to see some deicing action on an Easyjet A321 aircraft. At this point, we reached the threshold of the runway.

It was nice to hear the Captain making announcement before departure and he warned us of some expected turbulence during our descent towards HND. I continued to observe the cabin and I find the crew's interaction with the passengers to be quite pleasant and when there was turbulence, announcments were made to remind us.

You’re on your final approach and suddenly realize your landing gear isnt down. Instead of rolling on wheels, the aircrafts underside makes direct contact with the runway. Depending on your options, you may be forced to land on a runway, a field, or even water. Belly landings, while rare, can happen to any pilot.

Those seated from row 21 and behind were to board first then followed by row 11 to 20 and finally the front row passengers boarded last. Once on board, we settled down quickly and the announcement was made about my flight including expected turbulence during the take-off and a reminder not to film the crew and passengers without permission.

Squall lines can bring strong turbulence, heavy rain, hail, lightning, and tornadoes. They’re often a warning sign that there’s severe turbulence underneath. Remember that radar detects moisture, not turbulence. However, you can make the connection that areas of strong return generally also point to turbulence.

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 many believe that down-pull blinds are simply more susceptible to turbulence or heavy landings, making them more likely to simply drop down, there is an even more logical explanation than this. This again is a safety feature, but one which has traditionally been misinterpreted.

The NTSB released its final report into the fatal April 2022 accident that occurred when the pilot was on approach to Burley Municipal Airport (KBYI). The aircraft collided with an exhaust stack that lies directly beneath the extended centerline of Runway 20. The steep gradient is also noted on the RNAV 20 approach plate.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse. No pressure.

Over the last three years, The Bear has expressed great interest in visiting Alton Bay, the only FAA-authorized ice runway in the continental United States. A very brief 2022 season for the ice runway eliminated opportunities to return that year. I pointed to the ice runway as we cleared terrain hiding it. There it is!"

In my case, I reached a midfield left downwind simultaneously with another Cherokee on a right midfield downwind for the same strip of pavement, runway 2. As I watched the other aircraft make a turning descent toward the runway numbers, I wondered if the tower was going to want to call my base as a way of sequencing us.

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. Almost there!

But landing it safely on the runway is a skill. Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions.

But, with a frontal system approaching, the conditions were expected to worsen over the hours subsequent to our passing through, including the chance for moderate to severe turbulence. At first it was just gradually, then more decidedly, evolving into moderate turbulence. But the turbulence would continue to worsen.

On the downwind to the westerly runway at LOWI, I experienced a lot of up and down drafts, shear, varying winds, and sloppy controls. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride.

Practice takeoffs and landings on contaminated runways – Just because the runway at your airport has residual snow or slick spots doesn’t mean you have to cancel your flight lesson. After a winter storm passes you’ll want to wait for the airport maintenance crew to clear the majority of snow from the runway.

Now you can easily identify thunderstorms, icing or turbulence threats hundreds of miles away and request to modify your route accordingly. The problem is you may not be able to receive the ATIS at this range, so there’s no way to confirm which runway or instrument approach is in use to begin preparing for the approach.

In addition, the airport has 2 runways, runway 10/28 and 16/34 and operates 2 terminals. The aircraft was on final approach to SKG.

ATC was great, the FBO (FlightLevel - Beverly) treated us well and charged reasonable fees, and radar services were managed by the perennially capable Boston Approach. We made an IFR departure that morning on runway 16 and climbed above the ceiling in short order. This was not a good setup to manage an approach down to minimums.

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. While taxing to the runway, it started raining and off we went! The turbulence was not as bad as what I was anticipating and for most parts of the flight, it was smooth. Goodbye Lisbon, until next time!

Anyway, once we were ready, we pushed back and taxied to the active runway. Once we were on our way, we encountered some expected turbulence especially flying through the clouds but once we reached our assigned flight level, it was smooth all the way until we were on final approach. Finally we pushed back and on our way.

Possible causes include: Rotor turbulence, e.g. on wave days. Sometimes the wind socks at both ends of the runway point in opposite directions! Rapidly approaching cold fronts (or other fronts, e.g. sea breeze fronts). In certain conditions blowing dust (a “ haboob “) can make an approaching front easily visible.
