    IFR video to share. 3 approaches. 1 Missed & Diverted to Alternate.

    Great IFR day. Started my short trip to Lancaster PA and back with deteriorating weather. Departed KLNS with 500 OVC heading back to Garrett County MD 2G4 where the ceilings continued to drop, eventually down to less than 1/4 mist and 100 OVC. I had to go missed ofcourse. I stayed in the hold...

    Video: Cirrus SR22T IFR <200' OVC departure w/ 900' OVC approach at Class B KBWI

    I took this fun trip the other day. Was the first time I had a flight that was pretty much entirely IMC with some developing storm cells to dodge. I show the entire flight in fast forward at times but slow it down for departure, to explain the weather some and for the approach into BWI. Enjoy..

    I don't see many IFR videos posted here that often, so thought you guys working towards your IR may enjoy something to watch to keep you motivated. I don't have any audio thanks to me plugging the input into the wrong jack, so I added some music. Enjoy! 1. 200' OVC Departure Departing 2G4 Rwy...

    Flying at 10k, 12k or maybe 14k with young children

    Any concerns if I were to fly my 4 and 7 year olds at this altitude without oxygen? I normally use oxygen above 8k and I know the regs are good, but wasnt sure if there was something that could be bad for children? I cant get them to keep headsets on, so I know they wont keep a cannula in.

    Who offers courses with online videos and such like king schools? I used sportys for my private and instrument but they don't offer a similar course for the commercial rating. The only other one I could find was by king schools. Just wanted to see if anyone knows of any other good alternatives...

    Lost coms after assigned heading and well off course

    I found myself in a position yesterday that got me thinking I better relearn how to handle this situation. I was flying through solid IMC with light rime icing. I was told to turn to a heading about 70deg right off course to avoid traffic then told to change frequency to another controller...

    Icing at -38c

    I just transitioned into an SR22 with FIKI and during my transition training was able to experience icing for the first time. I remember hearing that +2c to -20c was the spread to be cautious when flying non-fiki. Maybe I misread something?anyhow, we were flying along at 8k and started picking...

    How to understand the Pulse Oximeter?

    I have one of those ones you put on your finger and it gives you the digital readings. I would like to know how to make the most out of that information. How low are you at risk of hypoxia? I'm not looking for answers like if it's below 90% you should be on oxygen. I'm looking for any hard data...

    File IFR Direct?

    What situations would you (if at all) file IFR direct from airport A to airport B? All my IFR flights so far, I have planned to get on airways/routes as soon as possible, however there has been a couple times where I get in the air and they clear me direct without even asking. Got me thinking...

    When does Night qualify for actual IFR?

    I had to get current for night flight as it had been about 5 months since I flew at night and I have a trip planned with the family this week. I waited until 1/2 hour passed official night time and almost immediately after departure I was 100% in instrument mode. There was absolutely no moon...

    IFR can be so beautiful. Video

    I'm sure there are many that are as good or better, but I'm currently 1/2 way through my IFR training and on this long cross country IFR from MD to CT the clouds just kept on getting better and better throughout this 7 minutes. Just love how pretty things can be up higher when down below was...

    Loss in manifold pressure with altitude turbo 182

    I own a 2006 turbo 182 and recently had the prop repaired from a leak. The shop fixed the leak but after the repair my plane felt sluggish and I noticed the manifold pressure was not producing the 32" it was supposed to. I took it back to the shop. They inspected everything and then sent the...
