20110730 Departing KACY

This video captures clearance delivery, taxi, and departure from Atlantic City, NJ (KACY). Most of it is routine, but there is a "what would you do" moment in the run-up area. When I switched to the tower frequency I heard the end of the previous

20110729 ILS 13 KACY

This is my approach into Atlantic City, NJ (KACY). The controller gave me a "slam dunk" which put me in an interesting position. One of my passengers was experiencing her first flight in a small plane and I wanted to take care in the descent,

20101104 GPS 17 KJYO

This the second proficiency approach (this one to landing) of the day. Again, ceilings weren't too low, but I was still able to get some training in actual conditions. Weather: 32007KT 10SM OVC025 10/08 A2953

20101104 ILS 32 KOKV

This is a proficiency approach into Winchester, VA. I had to cancel a planned flight to Blacksburg, VA due to the icing forecast, but I was at least able to get up locally where there wasn't any ice. Ceilings weren't very low, but there's

20101019 Cloudy Headwinds

This is a compressed continuous video segment captured while flying between 8000ft (2438m) and 10,000ft (3048m) over the Appalachian Mountains in southwest Virginia. This highlights a decision analysis scenario: Mountains in the area average about 4500ft

20101019 Departing KTRI

Departing Bristol/Tri-Cities (KTRI). Captures clearance delivery, request and use of progressive taxi (again, as simple as it was). A couple notes on this departure... First, I'm not accustomed to flying out of commercial airports - especially at

20101019 Landing KTRI

Approach and landing to Bristol/Tri-Cities (KTRI). This video highlights the request and use of progressive taxi instructions (as simple as they were). Weather: 22008KT 10SM SCT095 SCT150 23/06 A2991

20101019 Departing KJYO

This is my IFR departure from Leesburg, VA (KJYO) enroute to Bristol/Tri-Cities (KTRI). Typically smooth clearance delivery and departure. Weather: 00000KT 10SM OVC018 13/10 A2995

20100724 Landing KJYO

This is the end of the third approach of the day (GPS 17 KJYO ). I know, I know. I have so many landings at my home field posted, but this landing was too smooth to pass up. :) Weather: 28006G15KT 10SM CLR 36/21 A2997

20100724 GPS 26 KLNS

This is the second of three instrument approaches today and is my low approach to Lancaster, PA (KLNS) . Nice gentle approach with nothing particularly significant. You'll hear me negotiating my IFR trip home during this one. Weather: 29012KT 10SM

20100724 ILS 36 KRDG

I went up today for a few instrument approaches. This is the first of the three for the day and picks up as I'm getting vectors to the final approach course for the ILS 36 approach into Reading, PA (KRDG) . All of them were flown faster than normal

20100627 Departing KMQI

This is my taxi and departure from Manteo, NC (KMQI). With the hot weather I wanted to get airborne as quickly as possible, so I departed VFR and activated my IFR flight plan in the air. (I'd be talking to the same controller anyway. Listen up for

20100625 Landing KMQI

This is my landing at Manteo (KMQI) in North Carolina's Outer Banks. The winds favored runway 5 and I'm approaching from the north. Yes, I was one of "those pilots" on this day. It's OK for you to laugh. Luckily there was nobody

20100625 Cloud Skipping

Here's a time-compressed sequence from my trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks (KMQI). There was a thin cloud layer for several miles with the tops right at my cruising altitude of 7000 feet (2134 meters). Not quite canyon flying, but it was akin
