If you feel you have the time for this, please take a look for me to see if you think my weekend trip is feasable. I would leave Saturday and return Sunday.
Equipment: an NA C182S, /G, no weather, non-KI. We will be 400 lbs UNDERgross. We will be departing KFDK at about 1200 local, basically flying EMI LRP LVZ LHY CTR to 0B5. The only approach there is a VOR-A with 1200 AGL and 1.5 for Cat B. Closest ILS is (I think) Northhampton. Return will be Sunday at most favorable time, but I have the plane until Monday AM should the weather be bad on Sunday.
Pilot: Me, a 400-hour private with 25 hours of actual, 60 hours of instrument, and about 150 hours of X-C time in all seasons. I have recency and consider myself proficient, having just got the rating in July. I am comfortable with partial panel, although I am very happy that this airplane has dual vacs. I have about 35 hours in the C182S and feel comfortable in it. I have very little experience with icing, reasonable amount of experience with bumpy, rainy clouds, and feel OK to do that. I am conservative, and the thing that most likely would make me decide no-go is icing.
Your opinions for this weekend are welcome. Thank you!
