This week, I flew my longest cross-countryyet. On Wednesday, I flew
non-stop from Ottawa (CYOW) to Sault Ste. Marie (CYAM), just about 400
nm. Conditions were a little hazy, but the ceiling was high, and I
was able to manage 6,500 feet the whole way. I stayed overnight at my

What do you mean by CB and TCU?
Sorry -- those are the standard weather abbreviations for cumulonimbus
and towering cumulus.
You can see and avoid both when you're VFR -- if you're on top, they
stick out high above the surrounding clouds (CB often goes right to

Here are some equations for calculating the pressure at a specific height:

If I read correctly, you are converting height to pressure, then to rotation.
Maybe it would be easier to convert back to height first, then you can

While you're at it, you should go a bit south and see if there is
an airport near Parry Sound - half way from Sudbury to Toronto.
Yes, there are a few airports around there. I used to go through
Parry Sound sometimes on our family trips to the Sault, and it is
Wow!
Just brings home how small the UK is compared to Canada and the USA.
From my home airfield, 800nm in almost any direction by my reckoning
would land you in another country. Although a C-152 would have ran out
of fuel after 600nm probably. Did you see much variation in weather

That's only for IFR; for day VFR, we need 30 minutes' reserve,
