A 10-year study by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) showed slightly elevated lead levels in children living near airports, though these levels remained below the Center for Disease Control’s blood lead threshold. The CDPHE plans to publish the study in an academic journal in the near future.

A ten-year study by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) showed slightly elevated lead levels in children living near airports, though these levels remained below the Center for Disease Control’s blood lead threshold. The CDPHE plans to publish the study in an academic journal in the near future.

The current record of safe landings is strong in the airlines, but the same can’t be said for us down here in general aviation land. GA pilots find time-tested and more creative ways to skitter off the side of the runway, land short of the threshold, or slide off the far end with the brakes smoking and tires squealing.

Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. Approach Speed When crossing the threshold, you must ensure you fly the correct approach speed. Flare You will transition into the flare as you cross the threshold and get closer to the ground. We multiply Vso by 1.3 Good question.

The aerials are in a position that provides a threshold crossing height of 50ft. It consists of lights that start at the landing threshold and extend into the approach area. Marker Beacons These days, the ILS is generally paired with a DME (Distance Measuring Equipment). While the other beam transmits slightly below.

Without any squadron aircraft available yet, the challenge was revised to renting an aircraft at the local general aviation airporta Piper Cub! To get a little better view approaching the threshold I leaned to my left and stretched up to maybe see a little more of the runway.

Types of Aviation Oxygen Equipment There are several types of oxygen machines available for general aviation aircraft. Using Aviation Oxygen Systems Properly Proper use of oxygen equipment is essential for maintaining safety and avoiding hypoxia. Some are integrated while others are portable.

Airspeed indicators need air from a pitot tube and static air from a static port Small general aviation aircraft have airspeed indicators with air hoses connected directly to the pitot and static sources. Landing Bugs Bug 1 and 2: V Ref – Landing Reference/Threshold Crossing speed (bugs are positioned together).

Haas We All Fly exhibit aimed at highlighting and celebrating General Aviation. I am genuinely pleased by the idea of this exhibit because the general public seems generally oblivious to the existence and role of General Aviation.

Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Usually, Alton Bay volunteers hold departure traffic significantly farther back from the threshold when other aircraft are about to land. Should that guy be so close to the threshold?" Joe asked.

While the whole thing did not quite go as planned because long general aviation cross country flights rarely do, it was a wonderful trip and a great opportunity to share some of the beauty of my home state with friends from the East who really had no idea what to expect.

Serving smaller general aviation movements, the airports runway 10 threshold lies just 90 meters from the border with Slovakia, with approaching aircraft having to use Slovakian air space under a special licence to land at the airport. Uzhhorod International Airport (UDJ).
