Video from my flight out to Latrobe PA with Eric S of the flying club. Weather back home was great, not so much at our original destination of Johnstown PA. …

Great video. Really enjoyed this one. A little taste of things to come for
me!!
Good stuff, as always! I think I heard you recite/brief the straight-in
minimums, although you were going to circle for rwy 5. Was that
intentional? The quality of that camera always has me drooling. The
combination of no aifrframe vibration when it’s held by hand with the HD is
hard to beat. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
@coma13794 As always you are correct and very attentive Keith. 🙂 I didn’t
pay it much attention at the time knowing that we weren’t going to be
anywhere near minimums circling or strait in. But I should have said /
briefed the circling minimum. Also was 10 knots off on my airspeed which I
almost never do. But I guess that’s the difference between real IMC and
practice.
@SkylaneCaptain Thanks. Best of luck with you’re training.
@444drummer444 Thanks so much! Can’t wait to post the return trip. That was
even better in some ways.
@mikeb172sp I wouldn’t sweat being fast on a circling approach (if you were
fast), there’s oodles of time to slow down after you transition to visual,
and it’s good practice. Fly in as much IMC as you can, eventually, you stop
thinking, “Ok, here we go into IMC.” Rusty myself right now with winter
just recently behind us, but during the summer/fall, I got to that point,
and it’s a good place to be. Consider scrapping VMC approaches under the
hood and go shoot ’em solo, IMC. It helps.
@coma13794 I just remembered.. My mindset was as follows. If I get to POSER
and I am still IMC this will most likely turn into a full ILS strait in.
However flawed that thinking was.. 😉
@coma13794 I was actually a little slow before the glide slope intercept
but I fixed it. (Just dropped to 80 knots vs my normal 90 knots)
Would the DG in the upper right have been an option as a backup if the hsi
hadnt stopped spinning?
@727freak Yes… BUT our only ILS / gps indication (legally in the case of
the GPS) is via the HSI. Nav 2 is just a standard CDI without glide slope,
so if it kept spinning it could get interesting. Could always shoot a VOR
approach.
Interesting how engine sounds through the microphone… looks like a old
jet sound.
Espectacular job,nicely done .thanks for share Captain
