From clearance at Boston Logan, through Taxi and takeoff... then we time-warp to Presque Isle for the visual approach and ultimately the cancellation of IFR on the ground. Clear VFR day transporting a patient and her mother home from a medical appointment in Boston.
I tried to make this video informative for pilots (and enthusiasts) who haven't flown into Boston, but who might consider it if they knew what to expect.
I walk through getting clearance. Then the SID (standard Instrument departure), which in the case of an aircraft with prop(s) will be the Logan 4 departure. Then taxiing to the runway and the takeoff/departure.
From there we zip up to Presque Isle, Maine which is way up on the Canadian border. It's farther from Boston than New York City. In Presque Isle we perform a visual approach to runway 28 and then we cancel our IFR clearance once we are safely on the ground.
If you're thinking about flying into/out of Logan in a g.a. airplane, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Also for what it is worth, all fees are waived at Logan if you are performing a compassion flight, so you could arrive early and experience the city and/or get that Bravo airport experience with out the Bravo airport price. If you would like to know more about flying for PALS, reach out to me or go here:

Flying for PALS is one of the most gratifying things you can do with your pilot's license.
