  • In my race to get to ATP minimums, I am making some MASSIVELY Impractical flights. Follow me today as I fly from Texas to Kentucky and back to visit some pilots. This is my first flight in sustained hard IMC
    In this second installment of the Impractical Flights series, join me as I embark on a 1700-mile journey to meet Ryan to get some legendary cheese! Unfortunately, the weather had other plans, and we fell short by just 50 miles. I ended up savoring the cheese alone in a hotel before flying back home. Watch the adventure unfold, and see how the journey was just as exciting as the destination!

    I did a hard IMC flight during my IR training. I was doing the same as you. I looked at the engine monitor, and my CFII said... "Where are you going?" I was diving and turning. It's amazing on how hard it actually is. The plane I trained in was good, but didn't have an AP. I'm now working on my commercial, and we just got a plane back with a new Garmin panel. The gamil 500 AP is great, and I've been brave enough to do IMC solo because of it's help. I will hand fly, but when I need to make the mental load less... I turn it on. I'm enjoying these slightly more serious vids. Good luck to ATP.

    The letting go of the yoke things is huge. True even in planes that creep into a left bank because they don’t have aileron trim. That left bank is way more predictable than whatever the yoke will do if you keep your hand on it.

    • @JustPlaneSilly
      @JustPlaneSilly  29 дней назад +1

      I used to be so bad about looking back out the window and seeing the ground at a 30 degree angle. As soon as I got my hands off the yoke, that stopped.

      I walk a lot this time of year and I would prefer to get up at like 5 Am and do my walks but it seems every other tree has a spider web attached across the sidewalk to a mailbox or other tree. I HATE spiders. The thought of accidentally picking up a hitchhiker terrifies me so I am doing my 5 mile walks in the heat of the day. I skipped yesterday so today I have to do 10. Its going to be brutal.

  • @aviatortrevor
    @aviatortrevor Месяц назад +2

    I tend to think of the phrase “hard IMC” as meaning prolonged IMC or IMC flying that was very mentally tasking or fatiguing. It’s subjective.

    • @GregHopp
      @GregHopp Месяц назад

      Curious if you think his first leg qualifies? He was in IMC for a sustained period and didn't break out between layers. Also, doing that without an AP would up the stress and fatigue level. I'm not instrument rated though so speculation on my part.

    On your way to Commiefornia, stop at Page, AZ and go to Strombolli's for their "meat lover's" pizza. That and the pizza at Cruiser's in Packwood, WA are the two best pizzas I've had in my life. And then your cost per pizza will drop from $1,000 to $500. Can't beat that!
    Also, I'm confused. Are you an instructor, or are you not?

    My first Bonanza didn't have autopilot. I flew "easy" IMC all the time until one day... One day, Day turned to night, "hard" IMC, snow, deteriorating weather and Center kept giving me changes to course to get keep me out of icing.
    After surviving that night, I told myself that I would never fly again in IMC, single pilot without an autopilot. Never again, it's just not worth it.
    Can I do it? Yes. Should I? No.
