This app is hard to beat for a quick check of multiple METARs and NOTAMs. To learn the finer points of atmospheric stability, wind shear, and potential cloud layers, there’s nothing better than a Skew-T log (p) chart. Station Weather. Get the app here. SkewTLogPro. For real weather geeks, a METAR just doesn’t cut it.

Depending on the warm air’s stability, this process can form different kinds of clouds. Don’t forget to review NOTAMs and weather advisories. And don’t forget to review NOTAMs in case there are airspace restrictions or airport closures due to weather. Cold Front Weather How can you tell if a cold front is coming?

The NTSB report notes that at the time of the accident, there was a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) in effect informing pilots that the Runway Alignment Indicator (RAI) lights were out of service. The airplane crossed PALOS, located 2.9 nm from the runway 28R displaced threshold, at 03:46 a.m. nautical miles from the runway.

IMU Calibration Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) calibration keeps the drone’s internal measuring units accurate, helping avoid collisions, increasing stability, and enhancing positioning. FAA’s B4UFLY service is a rich source of information on airspace restrictions, TFRs, and NOTAMs.

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. As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach.

Any NOTAMS applicable? FAA parameters are no lower than 500’ AGL for stabilized criteria What specific runway lighting do we expect to see? If we find ourselves rushing or cutting corners to complete the briefing, we most likely need to ask for vectors or holding to consider all the factors. Any aircraft inoperative items to consider?
