    Nothing beats that feeling of going low on an approach and seeing the approach lights and then the runway infront of you..

    Nice demonstration of single pilot work. Appreciated the verbalized checklist throughout. Your example really highlights the visibility requirements and how they change from launching to return to base.

    Nice job. If I had got revectored in IMC and then found the Wx down to minimums, not sure I’d be as collected as you were. Nice, nice, nice.

    • @imarocker66
      @imarocker66  Před 11 měsíci

      It helps that I had another 3 hours of fuel and couple other options for airports with better weather and lower minimums with 10-30 minutes flight distance. KPSM is about 12 miles south with 300 MSL minimum on the ILS and RNAV approaches, and an 11,000’ runway 😅

    I’m not a pilot, but just watching this I don’t know how you can manage the workflow in that environment in that airplane without either an auto pilot or a copilot. If you were flying that trip entirely by hand, I don’t know how you do it.

  • @tamugrad2007

    Good video and piloting. Would be better with a fixed camera focused on the panel. Not much use having it on you. Too much movement. Just my .02

    How come with the autopilot engaged and with I am sure not a smooth ride why aren't the yokes moving as the auto-pilot or pilot maintains stability and approach path?

    • @imarocker66
      @imarocker66  Před 11 měsíci

      It actually was a very smooth ride. Even though it was solid IMC the winds were relatively calm and not much lifting updraft in the low level Stratus layer. Fluffy Cumulus type clouds which were not in the forecast are a different beast.
