  1. Nice panel! Worry about the audio later... It is ok. The camera position is great, inside and outside. The most important part is the story line. What is it that you want to tell the audience. Then write it down as an outline. Once you are done with that look at the video footage you have available and mix it. Show outside views, alternating them with inside views. Each segment has to be short (no longer than 20 seconds maximum). About the map... It always helps showing people where you are going. I just use google maps... and draw arrows on it. I also like the https://www.youtube.com/@MissionaryBushPilot/videos But there are others like aviation101 who are interesting. Have fun! Oscar
  2. Thank you! I got them from aircraft spruce. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  3. I flew again to the pacific coast of el salvador. On my way there I overflew a volcano. What did i find in the crater? A lake!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  4. Same thing with aircraft spruce. At the end of the process you have the option to request tax exemption
  5. I did refence it and that was one of the problems. Instead of looking outside and checking the waves or the trees, i tried to interpret the windspeed snd direction indicator. At 1500 feet it was favoring the runway I used which was the wrong one. But again my mistake. You have to be careful with those indications when you just are out of a turn. It takes a while to stabilize.

  7. One lesson learned out of all that... train for go arounds... Don't assume that you will know what you have to do. Once I noticed that I was bouncing I thought I have to initiate a go around. Full power, mixture rich and prop forward. PItch to 76... but then you see the trees!!! and they come towards you!!! fast... I actually diviated a bid... You have to stay cool... not easy.
  8. Good question... (not about the video... I believe I have a lot to learn... but I have fun reviewing and trying to put something together that is entertaining). When do I lower the gear? It depends, I don't have a specific moment when I do it. When I am VFR I lower the gear when I am about to enter the pattern and once I slow down below 120 mph. When I am on an IFR approach I do it once I cross the FAF. But for sure before I turn base my gear is down. Having said that, I remember that I was told to do a GUMPs on downwind abean the numbers, but I prefer to do it earlier... If something is wrong, I prefer to know it asap. BTW... my M20C has now a IO-360... 200 HP injected engine... but it is still a M20C
  9. Absolutely. I messed up great. There were many things that could and should have guided me... but I got tunnel vision and thought that I was right... Well I wasn't....
  10. Actually, it is what you get and this is a brand new recently paved runway. They still need to paint the numbers and markings. Once you fly around here your standards have to adjust. But I agree there was a lot of FOD. But at least no dogs, chicken, goats or people… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  11. Sometimes you mess up... and I have to admit that in this video I am not at my best... I flew to a recently paved airport and wanted to be among the first ones to land there. However when I got there I noticed that the windsock was missing. I relied on the winds at 1,200 feet and decided to land based on my gut feeling. Well, I WAS WRONG! The winds were coming from exaclty the opposite direction. I bounced and had to go around... You train for it, but seldom you have to do it for real... this time it was for real. Additionally, there were some trees at the end of the runway that looked much taller than they really were... Hope you enjoy it... and don't be to tough on me... I already chuwed myself up... Oscar
  12. I am just surprised that a concrete wall was there supporting the localizer antenna… is that normal? oscar
  13. I would be inclined to supect a failure of the sensor
  14. I Agee. Insurance is an issue. You may get away with liability only. But it is not easy to get to fly down south
