Independence Mine and Little Susitna River Trip - 2024
In this video we travel up the Little Susitna River on our way to Hatcher Pass and Independence Mine. The clouds and fog got increasingly heavy as we climbed in altitude. At some points visibility was about zero. But we still had a great hike and adventure.

Why FAA Requires Private Pilot Students to Learn Basic Instrument Maneuvers
zhlédnutí 701Před měsícem
In this video I go over the primary purpose of Basic Instrument Maneuver Flight Training. The fatality rate for VFR pilots who inadvertently get themselves into IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) is shockingly high. The best way to prevent becoming an FAA statistic is to learn how to avoid getting into IMC conditions as a VFR pilot in the first place. However, if you accidently do find ...

    Thank you for an excellent refresher on inadvertent flight from VMC to IMC. I use the OG spoke method for sixpack scanning to see what instruments are doing what. When I was a fledgling Private Pilot I had a primal fear of accidentally flying into IMC conditions. It was that fear that motivated me to get an IFR endorsement. 😊

    Great job explaining this often overlooked topic. Flight plans have much to offer on xc’s. It always amazes me at the number of VFR flights skirting the perimeter of the Houston Bravo without FF or talking to anyone. Makes for a very congested slice of airspace with compressed traffic that resembles a Nascar track. So easy to improve the safety odds and check in with ATC. Really enjoy your videos.

    I haven't filed a VFR flight plan in a VERY LONG time. I will use a flight following on anything longer than 50~60 miles. The only down side is.... sometimes the controllers get grumpy with VFR people. I think that is VERY wrong of them. Just a few days ago, I was going through busy airspace, and I needed to drop under a layer, so I let them know what I was doing. When I got to 5500'.... I told the controller "Level at 5500 Feet", and his response was literally.... "Good for you, contact XXX on XXX". He basically handed me off just because he didn't want to talk to me. I think part of the problem is, some controllers tell us to report any change in course or altitude, and some just say "Maintain VFR". I think there needs to be a standardization to flight following. This was a long flight (260mi) and I talked to at least 6 different centers/approach controllers.... and most were very friendly. Normally on a flight like this, I would have just filed IFR to make life easy.... but I didn't want to be in IMC in this particular plane.

      @warren5699 Před měsícem

      I don't trim during steeps. The heavy nose is a signal that the airplane is in an abnormal condition and needs correction. If you trim out hands free, you don't get that feedback.

    @affiliatenerdsrus8207 Před měsícem

    Thanks! I am a private pilot and am glad they are loosening the LSA market some because GA needs more affordable airplanes. Moving the max air speed up to 250 will negate the low cost of a stout enough airframe and they will certainly need the same ADS-B requirements to see and be seen pushing costs up further but necessary. Good report. I like to see a Federal Agency actually working for and with us to make this industry better. I was told by a FAA Inspector who visited our 135 Check Hauling operation out of Love Field after a short discussion about ramp checks. My concern since we were on a hot schedule similar to Fedex getting money into the Federal Reserve Banks on time, a ramp check could blow any earned revenue from a trip. He said they understood that, and wouldn't do that. Further they let us know when they planned a visit so some principals could be present if they wanted to look at manifests for example, or aircraft log books. No need to feel intimidated was the message and they displayed that attitude.

    What kills a good amount of pilot for qualifying for basic med is the having a third class or higher before a certain time. Eliminate that date. I went to sea as a career change for 15 years. I sold my plane and gave up my hanger. Now that I am retired, I would like to get a basic med. The fear of being denied a third class med because of certain but approved prescription drugs has kept me from doing so. Once denied you are screwed. Also it is hard to find a Designated 5:45 Medical Examiner. Our two is 250k plus a student population of 72k. What is up with that?

    • @Mistamannfour

      I think the initial basic med had a 10 year look back from 2016 when basic med went into effect. So, if you received a 3rd class medical after 2006, and you meet the other requirements, you qualify to fly under basic med.

My last medical was 2000, but I am not willing to jeopardize Sport Pilot privileges by playing FAA Medical games of "we'd like some more information." My point is once you apply for a medical, you are denied Sport Pilot privileges UNTIL you receive a passing medical or run thru all the hoops for Special Issuance. Not worth rolling the dice, as I don't need to fly at night, or carry more than one passenger.
