I'd forgotten about that jet - yes, I think it was his. That wind and shear was nothing compared to what I had flying back from New Orleans and landing in Virginia! :)

@@WingsOverTO we flew the Sierra over time building for a 24 hour turn around. Nice airport close enough to town.

Glad you liked it!

Oh man that’s terrible. I’m so sorry to hear that! I’d be so angry about that; I can imagine how you’re feeling.

Thanks!

Thanks Reale! Yeah Buffalo and Detroit are definitely good options, as is Boston. I might need to look into their schedule this year and plan a trip. Although they’re going to suck this year too, so maybe I’ll wait…

Oh nice. I should do that when the Habs are in town!

I’d say it depends on whether you’re planning to stop for lunch. Both FBOs have a courtesy car, but Lunken has many more restaurant options nearby. Port Clinton just had a few diners. Both are nice airports, not too busy, with reasonably priced fuel.

Oh wow! Hopefully you had a good autopilot, too.

Glad you like them!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much. Interesting. I hadn’t thought of diverting further west. IFR wasn’t an option when I departed from Toronto but became an option as I got close to Cincinnati. But it didn’t occur to me to do a split flight plan VFR-IFR. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for watching.

@@WingsOverTO interesting; do they not allow for an IFR international departure for GA? I’ve only ever flown biz jets in or out of Canada.

@@amamdawhatever oh no they do, and I’ve done that before. But my plane is not rated for FIKI and icing was a problem that day. IFR altitudes would have required me to go through the clouds - not an option, unfortunately.

@@WingsOverTO Ah makes sense!

Hey Dan. It was the icing that was an issue. The icing level was about 1000’ AGL in Ontario that day, and there was icing reported all around, so I couldn’t punch through the clouds and get above. I thought about getting up higher as we went south but the temperature just wasn’t warming up much until we got pretty close to Cinci, if I’m remembering right. But yeah, M is a trooper. 😀 Thanks for watching, Dan.

Oh and one thing I was worried about was clouds were reported as scattered and broken for most of the route that morning, so even if I could get up top, getting back down through them might have become an issue.

lol yeah, we did that flight in late March, and I’d forgotten how much snow there was at the time.

Thanks your comment made her smile.

Yeah, that was not pleasant. Wait til you see the first leg home from New Orleans! :) Thanks for watching, Gary.

Thanks! I'm hoping it'll just be a couple of weeks for the next one.

Thanks, Reale. I chose not to fly IFR because of icing. I would have had to be up in the clouds, and the temps that day were just above freezing at ground level. Unfortunately, the instrument rating isn't a cure-all. :)

Nice. Yeah, they really are phenomenal. Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

Thanks, Glen. Really enjoying your Give Hope Wings videos.

Thanks, Gary! Good to hear from you.

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Thanks! Yeah I need to dig my old flight sim gear out and set it up again. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Felt good to be back at the computer editing a video. :)

lol thanks! All good here, hope you are too.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh nice, good luck with the PPL! Thanks for watching.

Thanks very much!

lol. That scene took a LOT of takes and I had to keep wetting my whistle 😀

Thanks for watching. Good luck with the flight to Teterboro! It’s not as bad as you’re probably thinking. 😀

Thanks, Andrew! I hope I'm as thorough with the briefing a few years from now as I am today.

Yeah personally I like to have Jepp charts since I’m the USA but I dont know if they have them for Canada or not looks like it was just gov charts you had

@@andrewseneker7515 yes I use Nav Canada charts. They’re different than the FAA’s charts and I quite like them. To be fair, I’ve never tried using the Jepp charts but I have taken a look at one or two and didn’t see a big difference against the Canadian ones. At least not enough to make the cost worth it for me.

Thank you! You’re the first person to say they like the music, all other mentions of it are more like “music is not necessary”. Lol

I agree it would help. But making it a legal requirement would price probably 2/3 of private GA pilots out of aviation.

@@WingsOverTO They should arrange for an avionics producer to have an inexpensive option so it's not a 60k$ operation. Garmin offers it's G3x for 3k. They might cost 400$ to make. It's possible

Thanks very much! Your eclipse experience sounds like it was really nice as well. Cheers.

Thanks very much, I appreciate you reaching out. It's actually pretty good for crosswind landings. It's a heavier plane than a C172 or something like a Piper Archer or Arrow, so it is more stable and resists the crosswinds a bit better. If the winds are routinely 18-25 and mostly crosswind, you'll certainly get good at it! :) I max out at 25kt winds with a 15kt crosswind component - absolute max for me and only if it's a must - but the plane is rated for a 17kt crosswind.

@@WingsOverTO thanks for the info! I appreciate it!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Yeah there's a lot of crazy stuff that happens there. Glad your situation was nothing more than an anecdote!

Oh wow 12 months! Good luck this week! Let me know how it goes.

Thanks! Yes, very familiar with the guidelines around flying and scuba diving. We didn’t dive on this trip and are generally overly cautious about it. Have fun!

Glad you liked it!
