Beautiful footage. All that glass, has to be a great view from the PIC seat.

I have not been in the Cherokee PA-151 (N7259F) in many weeks. This past Saturday, I woke up to a calm day with not an ounce of turbulence. I decided to practice my non-towered radio operations. The Flight was super smooth on this fine day. Published this morning, this is my longest video to...

When I flew with my CFI 3 weeks ago, returning to KHFD (Hartford, CT), he had me practice a Power off 180. I retarded the power to idle abeam the numbers, and my instinct was to turn immediately to the numbers. I waited till about 400' before adding any flaps slowly, 10deg, 25deg then 40deg. I...

The following two videos go with the one above this post. Landing practice on Runway 2 at KHFD right hand traffic in Class D airspace. Wind calm with (3) three aircraft in the pattern. Landing 2 of 3 Landing 3 of 3 In this #short I played with some post editing skills for added humor toward...

I took the warrior up this past Friday morning to do some sight seeing about 3.5 miles Southeast of Hartford-Brainard to a town called Glastonbury, CT. It was in the class Delta, so I had permission to orbit at 1,500'. Its not the "most exciting" video but it was a calm relaxing flight. I invite...

We took advantage of the calm early morning conditions in CT to fly over to 42B, Goodspeed, in East Haddam, CT. It was a 10-minute flight from my Homebase of KHFD. Although I currently hold a PPL and have 150 hours, I asked my CFI instructor to refresh my short field landing techniques. The...

I had my CFI review my landing attempt video and asked him for some help with short field yesterday (at a real short field). We are headed to 42B this Sunday. I will bring this up to him, I think this is a great idea Albany Tom. Thanks for the internet advice. Note: I am old enough to remember...

Thanks for the tips Mike, I watched my approach around 8 times so far, and I think 5 of the 8 times I say to myself "I could have made it." But there was doubt and I would rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the feedback ArrowFlyer, the reason it went private is I put it to be released via schedule at 6:00pm EST, its available now. My CFI was off today so I had him watch it and he said the same thing. His specific questions were "how much flaps were you using and what was my aiming...

I hope you all enjoyed the eclipse this past Monday! Below is an unlisted video from this past Sunday. I have been trying to schedule this flight for a few weeks now. The airport is KDXR in Danbury, CT. I went through my logbook and have an approach here when I was a student pilot from 2003. I...

I hope you all had a great safe Sunday. I went flying this morning and have to say it was an off flight as it did not go as planned. I spent most of the afternoon, back at homebase going over the many little issues that added up to the disappointing flight. I have not had one of these flights in...

No I am not, That book was written 100 years ago. I did read it about 25 years ago, once when I was in my Tony Robbins phase. Thanks for the advice.

I am not aware about the lady and her father. The CO meter last week was reading 19 upon landing and was set to alarm at 25. I was reminding myself and others to check it at night, as its not on any check list in the airplane. I get into a habit of checking it during the day VFR when the heater...

Thank you MikeNY, I think the disclaimer is a good idea as I am still learning after each flight as with posting this content online, just winging it the past few weeks (intentional pun). I really appreciate the feedback.
