Diamond DA42 Instrument Approach to McChord Air Force Base
Important - This video is for entertainment only. It is not intended for instruction and should not be used for any training purpose.
In February, I was planning on getting out for some practice instrument approaches and saw an online discussion about conducting instrument approaches at a local Air Force base. McChord Base (KTCM) is just south of Seattle and I’ve flown past it hundreds of times. However, I’d never thought about attempting an approach there. This discussion indicated that the controllers at KTCM welcomed general aviation traffic as an opportunity for the controllers to get more experience.
As I was planning my approaches, I called up the KTCM tower number listed in the FAA C...

      It's a fair question. Looking back with the temp on the ground at 4C and knowing that the layer was very thin, it was unlikely that we'd get down to 0C while still in the clouds. However a reasonable argument be why not just turn on the pitot heat just in case. It doesn't cost anything. One less thing to think about if we did remain in cloud below OC.
