Flight dispatchers also communicate with pilots and update them about weather, turbulence, and other variables that could affect their flight. Does it have GPS, INS, or VOR systems? For example, turbulence could result in a simple flight level change or require a new route.

We were assigned a slightly ridiculous alteration to the route I filed: MANCH T316 LAMMS T608 ROC that had us flying past Sodus to the Rochester VOR before setting up for Sodus. At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly. This was even better than I requested.

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the gloom.

Welcome to the world of Clear Air Turbulence (CAT). Lets take a closer look at clear air turbulence, so you can anticipate where they might show up, and learn how to manage the risks involved.

Set the ILS, LOC, or VOR frequency required for the approach on your navigation radio. You may also include significant weather conditions, wind shear, or excessive turbulence. Don’t miss this step whenever you brief the approach. Are you flying a radio-based approach?

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded. All of our flying started early in the mornings before afternoon turbulence and storms.

We can expect extreme thunderstorms, turbulence, torrential rain, and fog. Turbulence tosses us up, down, and sideways. I ignore him, select three VOR stations, determine our radial from each of them, draw it on the map, and determine our approximate position based on the intersection of the lines. ” He ignores me.

We were IMC with some moderate turbulence when, out of the blue, the prisoner jumped up between us and tried to grab hold of the captain’s gun, which was in his holster. On one occasion, the chief pilot and I were in the Turbo Commander, on a circuit around the country with an inoperative autopilot. We tried and tried, but no joy.
