- Leaving Truckee, CA (KTRK) for South Lake Tahoe (KTVL). The flight from Concord, CA (KCCR) was pretty uneventful. It was so much fun getting up to 9500 and watching the ground come up to meet you as we went deeper into the Sierras. There were two high-density departures that day - 7500 from KTRK and 8600 from KTVL later that morning.
Great controller. So helpful.
Full power and barley keeping 400 FPM :)
Nice video! Go Padres! 🤣
Thanks Misha! Very helpful! Hope to meet you on one of Art's Mountain Flyouts.
Another great one. We still gotta go flying together!
Awesome clarity on your videos and I love that you highlight your mistakes when they happen (John Wayne video). Really helps students like me learn. Subscribed!
Thanks Ben. I actually make it a point to include the mistakes and the missteps. They happen to everyone and that's how I learn. I figure if I learned something from a mistake, someone out there can too!
Which is the easiest (for climbout) airport for a takeoff in a 180hp 172 with 3 pax in the Tahoe area? KTVL seems to offer ample room for a slow climbout over the lake, but MEV and CXP are at 1'500ft less altitude...
Is that a density altitude electronic sign at the hold short line 2:35?
Ha! I did not notice that at all. Does it say 8000?
@@mtyukin yup, 8,000 . I thought it was a runway distance marker, but 29 is 7,000 ft. and it wouldn't need a solar charging station. By the way I learned a lesson from you. Where you pushed the nose down as you climbed, when your climb rate was zero, got a few knots of speed, then brought the nose back up and instantly 400 fpm! Great technique thank you. I will remember that. I have never flown my plane where full power and a climb attitude didn't bring a rate of climb. I think I would have been startled and would be searching for the proper response wallowing around in the air. Now
I know. Great stuff.
@@peterthoshinsky6468 Thanks, Peter. This is why, at high DA in my plane, I am not in a hurry to put the laps back up after a positive rate. always want to be 800-1000 AGL when I do this - the drop, even with the noise level, is more substantial than at sea level. I guess it's a personal minimum of mine. That said, in this case, flaps up brought the expected 8-10 extra knots and eventually a better climb rate.
Hey Misha. You gonna upgrade to the 180Hp?
We still have some time on the engine, but that’s definitely the plan for the next one
