Every 6 months pilots are required to maintain instrument proficiency. I took my buddy John along as the safety pilot while I foggled up to reset my instrument currency. I do 6 fast paced approaches, one hand flown, a missed approach, holding and a few night takeoff and landings. At the end I test an old flying personal floatation device. :)
Sorry for the slight audio issues. I will get that resolved.

The biggest reason why your channel is kicking ass, is because you’re not stuck on yourself like all the other people that want to put their two cents in. Totally kick ass to watch. It’s great fun to see someone like yourself make it happen. By the way I graduated from Wheaton Warrenville South in 1994 Lol…Anyways I love you guys and keep it up

I'm not a pilot but aviation enthousiast. I follow your channel and watch everything in uploaded order (yeah I'm still a year behind lol), and despite I learned so much because of you and other YT-pilots, this video was still as hard for me as it was for you... the amount of info, things to do, quick thinking, etc, incredible and lots of respect for you to do all that stuff. Great you had John with you, besides the fun, he also learns from this too. Great content, and keep up the good work man!

What a fantastic video! You did all the approaches and then the night proficiency after. Amazing stamina. Reminds me of my Instrument training at night going between KTTN ILS 6 and KPNE ILS 24, as soon as you're on the missed you are being vectored for 3 min to the other approach. It puts hair on your chest and takes them off your head. Thank you and Fly Safe!

Had your hands AND feet full in your twilight gym session. Great to have a safety pilot and friend to take the edge off. Not to mention zero anxiety w/ATC as that's your craft. Best of all worlds and hopefully Avidyne appreciated the demo. Assume Jaime is back to her witty self. Be well, you two.

@billtisdale6122 3 жыл бұрын

A lot of autopilot approaches. Was good to see you hand fly one. Also good to do a full approach with PT, May not always get a vector to final. Noted they were all RNAV, would have been good to get a localizer or ILS in there. It was a great workout for “buttonology” or “knobology” to get the software and sequences down. Great flight!

To me ( a Non pilot ) this was amazing, 3/4 data entry and 1/4 pilot but all pilot if you know what I mean, that was a lot of information you were going through. I enjoyed the flotation vest inflation also, thanks for taking the right and left punch for our amusement and information.

Great job, Kevin. When we switched from regular PFD's to inflatables. We had to go through a training to make sure we could find the activation lanyard in the water. Had a lot of misfires in the process of learning. Going from 17 lbs of flotation to 35 lbs was a great improvement. Hope the second shot didn't keep Jamie under the weather for long.

@norbute 3 жыл бұрын

You guys do not know how good you have it the States. Over here in Europe, you would be extremely lucky if a controller would agree to anything close to what you got to practice. And then you would get a bill for ATC, flight plan acceptance, approach fees, and then landing fees. Would probably come to something like $300. Landing fees alone at our local airport are around $50 every time you touch the wheels of 310 on the runway. And we don't have any approved approaches. Have fun and be thankful for what you've got. 👍

@franklinpierce2854 3 жыл бұрын

To those who would 'privatize' ATC in the US, take good heed of norbute's comments above. If you want surly controllers, terrible service, ever increasing fees, cost-cutting, and, IMHO, long-term measurable reduction in safety, listen to the morons promoting private ATC. It's an evil idea. Especially for, but not limited to, GA.

I haven't flown as PIC in 40 years, but back when I was doing my PPL, we would do this in a 150. We didn't have Prometheus lights back then, so we weren't getting the illumination that Kevin got with all three of them on, but flying no lights landings, at an airport with good runway lighting, really isn't that hard. You need to learn what the look of the lights are like, but once you get that down, I found it pretty easy to consistently hit my landing spot. While the landings may not have been greasers, they weren't 'arrivals', either.

Hey Kevin! It be really great to get an explanation of the music that you use for your channel. Really dig the 310 Aurora anthem! Although the group that is playing the Aurora anthem sounds more like Georgia. Love it! Anyways, just like to get an explanation for that, and I will just keep living in flight simulator world.

I did a "lights-inop" landing once, and *not* a practice one. It was at a 2600' paved private strip in KS. Which was plenty for the Piper Archer I was in. I did learn one memorable aspect of a lights-out landing: IMO, your tendency is to land long and I very nearly ran off the end of the runway. My co-pilot and I LITERALLY stood on the brakes to avoid going into the weeds. So, stabilize your approach, fly by the numbers, FLY THE AIRPLANE. If you're too far down the runway, go missed.

I just restarted my instrument training (20+ year lapse) and it does my heart good to hear two experienced pilots say it fries your brain. I'm just trying to get my head around a C172RG vs a C172 right now... never mind flying on the gauges and shooting approaches. Adding wheels that disappear isn't the slam dunk that I thought it would be... I'm still laughing about the life vest "event"
