One of the unidentified victims was found inside Blue Chrysler 300, and the other was found in a Hyundai. Police said authorities have tentatively identified three other victims and need help identifying two others.
One of the victims has been identified as Shirley Harper, 88, of Franklin, Wisconsin. Police said the severity of the crash masked the remains and what they previously believed was the body of one individual, was actually two. Initially, police said there were six fatalities, but found another person on Tuesday. All of the fatalities were from the crash in the northbound lanes. Seven people died, and 37 people were taken to hospitals, a spokesperson for ISP said. The interstate was closed from mile marker 63, which is in Montgomery County, to mile marker 80, which is in Sangamon County from just before 11 a.m. Police said they believe two tractor-trailers caught on fire, and a total of 72 vehicles were involved in the crash. I made many such takeoffs without incident as did fellow corporate and personal pilots at my home field.īy the way, while everyone I think understands what they're saying when they say zero visibility, you can always see something, especially if you're sitting down low in a small aircraft.The vehicles being released comes after a 27-mile stretch of the interstate was closed due to multiple crashes and low visibility from blowing dust. Pacific Northwest weather prior to my retirement, and I have no doubt Part 91 operators still take advantage of that regulatory flexibility. Takeoffs by corporate and personal aircraft without established takeoff minimums were common, though not frequent, in the rainy and foggy U.S. Zero departure may be made, but it is never advisable. In the 2017 edition of, you will find on page 1-8 the following:Īircraft operating under 14 CFR Part 91 are not required toĬomply with established takeoff minimums. There is no takeoff minimum required for Part 91 operations (private aircraft if you will). Speed variance can fall by 25 percent during rain. Snow can cause free-flow speed to decrease by 5 to 64 percent.
Free-flow speed can be reduced by 2 to 13 percent in light rain and by 6 to 17 percent in heavy rain. operations, the phrase:Ĭannot take off without a minimum visibility Low visibility can cause speed reductions of 10 to 12 percent. However, taking your question as explicitly stated, in other words not just air carrier operations, and applying it to U.S. Though your question does not explicitly say so, it implies that you're talking about flights that are carrying passengers or cargo for hire, and other answers address that. That is reported in feet in the U.S., and often in meters elsewhere. Talking about so many feet of lateral visibility, the actual nomenclature is Runway Visual Range, or RVR. That is an airport limitation, not an aircraft limit. Not all airports have the taxiway lighting required for low-visibility (typically, below 1200’ lateral visibility) taxi operations. Thankfully, visibilities below 500-600’ are pretty rare in most places. (Or 1800’ for cases of no Cat II / Cat III capability.)Īs noted, a pure “zero visibility” landing (a Cat IIIc) doesn’t yet exist, because while the autopilot can bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway, some visibility (300’) is still required to taxi clear and get to the parking spot.
Once the plane successfully reaches the runway, its crew must once again assess the visibility conditions. Under usual circumstances, air traffic control ( ATC) and pilots can maneuver aircraft movements through.
LOW VISIBILITY PLUS
Without a HUD, you need 500’ (and appropriate runway lights/markings, plus regulatory approval) for takeoff, and whatever your autopilot Cat III autoland system (along with the landing runway) is approved to for landing. Fog And Planes: How Low Visibility Can Impact Operations On the ground. Using a HUD, an airliner can take off with visibility as low as 300’, and land with visibility as low as 600’.
