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

20100625 IFR Departure KJYO

This is my IFR departure from Leesburg, VA (KJYO) enroute to the Outer Banks of North Carolina (Manteo (KMQI), to be specific). This captures AWOS, clearance, takeoff and initial contact with Potomac Consolidated TRACON (PCT). Weather: 31003KT 10SM CLR

100523 GPS 17 KJYO

This is the last of today's approaches in actual conditions - and this was the "lowest" weather I've ever had coming into my home field. AWOS was reporting 4 miles in rain, but I didn't have the runway in sight until about 1 mile

100523 GPS 5 KFDK

This is the second of my approaches today. The weather over Frederick, MD (KFDK) was better than either Martinsburg or Leesburg and the only real entertainment I had on this approach was listening to the "Err Froahn" (Air France) flight being

100523 GPS 8 KMRB

This is my approach in IMC to Martinsburg, WV (KMRB) . Besides being the first approach in actual conditions I'd flown in a few months, this approach was also interesting in that it demonstrates the need for all parties to pay attention. The tower

100523 Departing KJYO

The weather and schedules (both the plane's and mine) aligned today to allow me to get in some approaches in actual conditions. It had been a few months since I'd been in any serious actual IMC, so I was feeling a bit rusty. Today's flight

100307 KFRR-KJYO

Just a simple flight from Front Royal, VA (KFRR) to bring home the plane after its annual inspection. The folks over at Front Royal Aero Services, Inc. do a fantastic job.

100221 KJYO-KFRR

Short night VFR flight to drop off the plane for an oil change. The snow is the leftovers from the "Blizzard of 2010" that dumped 30 inches on Leesburg, VA (KJYO) back on February 5-6.

091129 Landing KJYO

Here's my approach and landing at Leesburg, VA (KJYO) after this year's Thanksgiving trek home. OK, OK, so big deal on yet another landing at my home field and not even IMC to make it interesting, right? Sooo, I figured I'd "look out

091129 Departing 65J

Departing Wrens, GA (65J) after our Thanksgiving holiday. Another beautiful flying day with projected tailwinds in excess of 35 knots at 9000 feet. Those would help turn a 9.5 hour drive into a 3.5 hour flight. It's days like this that help justify
