| 词条 | Scud running |
| 释义 |
In general aviation, scud running is a practice in which pilots lower their altitude to avoid clouds or instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). The goal of scud running is to stay clear of weather to continue flying with visual, rather than instrument, references. This practice is widely accepted to be dangerous, and has led to death in many cases from pilots flying into terrain or obstacles, such as masts and towers, normally referred to as CFIT;[1] however, even instrument-rated pilots sometimes elect to take the risk to avoid icing or embedded thunderstorms in cloud, or in situations where the minimum instrument altitudes are too high for their aircraft.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} Scud running is occasionally described as "maintaining visual contact with the ground while avoiding physical contact with it" or "if the weather's too bad to go IFR, we'll go VFR."[2] A procedure under instrument flight rules (IFR), called a contact approach, is often referred to as a form of "legalized" scud running.[3] The term gets its name from scud, which is used to describe small, ragged, low cloud fragments that are unattached to a larger cloud base, and often seen with and behind cold fronts and thunderstorm gust fronts.[4] US regulationsIn the United States, most controlled airspace below {{convert|10000|ft|m|abbr=on}} MSL requires a pilot flying under VFR to remain {{convert|500|ft|m|abbr=on}} below a cloud ceiling and to maintain {{convert|3|smi|km}} visibility. However, outside of airport control zones and major terminal areas, controlled airspace typically begins at {{convert|1200|ft|m}} above ground level; below that is uncontrolled (class G) airspace, where (at that altitude) a pilot is required only to remain clear of clouds and to maintain {{convert|1|smi|km}} visibility. Canadian regulationsIn Canada, the visibility and altitude requirements are similar to those in the U.S., but most controlled airspace outside of terminal areas bottoms out at {{convert|2200|ft|m}} AGL, so there is more room to scud run legally. In northern Canada, there is little controlled airspace at all, below the high-level class A airspace.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} References1. ^http://www.cbs7.com/content/news/381633451.html 2. ^FAA AC60-22 "Aeronautical Decision Making" 3. ^{{cite journal | title = Instrument Insights Part 8 of 12: Tricks of the Trade | journal = AOPA Pilot Magazine | date = 1988-08-01 | first = Horne | last = Thomas | volume = 41 | issue = 8 | url = https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/1998/august/pilot/instrument-insights-part-8-of-12 | accessdate = 2017-05-13}} 4. ^{{cite encyclopedia | encyclopedia = National Weather Service (NWS) Glossary | title = Scud | url = http://www.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?letter=s | accessdate = 2010-12-05 | date = 2010-08-26 | publisher = Federal Aviation Administration}} External links
