Thanks for sharing these! I’m I guess about 6-8 months behind you on a similar track, just finished instrument rating and starting on commercial. I appreciate your comment about not adding any unneccesary or additional risk, that’s a very eloquent way to say it and think about it. I was lucky enough to get a big handful of hours in real IMC and night during training as well, and that just feels like gold in my hand, such valuable experience! I wound up taking my checkride at night, so glad for that experience!
Alright, I am subscribing. Thank you for sharing your story, man. We all need to learn from each other. I'm training for my instrument as well. I know what you mean by the work involved. Good luck to you. I try to pick spots on the rwy for my abort points, both on take offs and landings.
Really enjoying how this journey is progressing, I'm excited for you and it's fun to watch. Really great insights on personal minimums and lessons learned. I also watch anything I can on accident investigations and never try to judge the pilot harshly. I know I could easily be that guy, so I need to establish a safety protocol to minimize risk. I think your thoughts on that were really helpful.
Never think that sharing your "mistakes" isn't appreciated - it's how we all learn. Just some random thoughts - ever try a slip in the Mooney to manage speed and sink rate - might be worth a practice or two. My instrument training was in the Midwest during winter, mostly after work at night, dark as it could get, high winds, bitter cold, snow and ice covered runways - one thing I noticed is that daytime IFR with foggles - you can still sense your attitude from shadows in the aircraft - but nighttime IFR with foggles and you are really unaware of what direction is UP. It's a more realistic training environment to simulate hard IFR in cloud without the foggles. Seek out the lousy days to practice in! You're doing great!
Yep, I slip the Mooney often actually and did this time as well. Even 5 mph fast in the Mooney is no good, it’s very unforgiving with respect to poor landing technique. I also fly at night and in actual IMC as much as possible (I actually prefer it and find it easier than flying with the foggles 🤷♂️)
Ditto on sharing mistakes. Also like your rational and just bluntly talking through it so we all learn something there & think about the little details as well. Stumbled across your channel researching Mooney’s & glad I did. Keep ‘em coming ✌🏼
You are honest and you keep it interesting! Good luck on your journey! 🎶✈️🎵
Thanks for being so real about your journey s a pilot Tom! I mean hell we never would have known you flat spotted some tires. Glad that was the only consequences to a mistake. It’s a lesson learned and one you likely won’t make again. I’m not saying brush it off by any means, just don’t beat yourself up about it too much.
"I don't care about anything else except flying." Hahaha - this is so how I've become now. It's all I think about and all I want to talk about. 90 hours of flight time now, about half way through my instrument training. : D Thanks for sharing!
love your outlook. much luck as I too are on this journey..
Scary stuff. Glad you’re ok. My local tower will occasionally put people on a tailwind landing or takeoff, and it’s crazy how much more space you need to pull that off safely. We are lucky out here though with massive runways, so a slight tailwind is not really a safety concern. Still, not my favorite when I get that kind of clearance from the tower. I really don’t mind the extra two minutes to get lined up with a headwind.
Very cool video! What’s also cool is I happen to own an M20S, just like the one in the video, with “N” number of N132MA and the one in the video is N131MA.
Sweet. I’ve seen a pic of your plane before actually. My buddy (who owns 131MA) showed me.
Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING Videos Sir, and We ALL ARE IN THE LEARNING CURVE 👍👍👌 Cheers 🍻
I landed long once when I was training. Luckily I did not put flat spots on the tires. I knew I was a bit long but I knew I had it made. It was not downwind, I was alone in the aircraft, the high wing C172 doesn't float like the Mooney and the flaps come up pretty fast. But still I went all the way to the end of the runway with the tires chittering and complaining and had to back taxi to the ramp (pretty short runway). What happened was I was practicing circuits and the instructor radioed, while I was on final, to make this one a full stop. The indication was that they needed the aircraft or that it was imperative that I be back for some reason. I did not question the request but my mistake was then ceding control of the aircraft, or at least the critical decision making, to someone that was not even in the aircraft. I touched down a bit long and a bit fast and the combination resulted in the wheels chittering and complaining as the aircraft settled. The instructor said: "..we normally go around when the approach is long like that..." and some other words about undue wear and tear on the brakes and tires of their airplane.
Should it have been a go around? Maybe. Was the reason to be on the ground overwhelming enough to ask the aircraft for maximum braking? Definitely not and I'd no reason at all to think so. Still... long is better than short eh?
Thank for sharing the story and your IFR training journey. One other comment, 123.45 is not the correct frequency for general airplane to airplane communications. 122.75 is the correct frequency.
Learned me somethin’ today. Thanks!
I'm glad that you're doing an accelerated program. I did the same and about day 3, I remember the moment when I stopped caring that I was wearing the hood.
Your instructor is Sam? I wonder if we used the same instructor. GL the rest of the way.
If you haven’t read The Killing Zone, you should look it up and get a copy. Talks about accident rates versus buckets of total time experience and where you find the most accidents. Very informative.
When are you planning your checkride? I have some insight if you're close. Lessons learned on my part.
I have tires that look like yours. Got a little aggressive on the brakes because they shortened my airport to replace a drain culvert. We went from 5000 feet to 2900. Then I remembered I learned to fly on 2200 feet. I can stop I just need to not be sloppy with my speed. Once my tires are replaced I will try again.
I flew the plane 4 times before I saw the cords and grounded my plane.
Good learning moment 👍
Great video bro, thanks so much for sharing! We all learn from each others mistakes, thats how we grow! Plane and you are all good minus some rubber and you learned a valuable lesson for yourself! Can't wait to see the new Mooney bro!
It’s about time! I can’t do the treadmill without your videos!
What’s the new plane? I must have missed that video
Another mooney
I found instrument easier as I went, when the cognitive load decreased a bit and getting used to it. I know what you mean with the foggles though.
You’ll probably not flat spot another tire. I can’t count how many tires some of the owner pilots I fly with have done that, easy to do.
What's the next plane gonna be? Sure hope it's another Mooney!!
What else is there?
@@Tommyflies lol..I like your style!!
see the book The Killing Zone...I browsed it
but like me a couple of bad seconds eat at you and makes you better in the long run that is a good thing
Though you are taking ownership of this incident it seems to me your CFI failed you. Him or her should have told you to abort and do a go around. The job of a CFI, in addition to teaching, is recognizing an impending dangerous situation and taking action to avert such.
Sometimes we are learning in a hard way, but as long as it's not a life-threating thing then I think it's ok, plz share that amazing picture at @14:14 in you IG :)
I thought you sold the plane?
CZcams is always a couple weeks behind IG 🤫
