Amazing...just watched the videos and downloaded the update. this is really a gamechanger. I am looking forward to the global rollout!!!

Thank you!! Really amazing!!! i would love to use it for my mooney Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have the same STC installed in my M20C. For all practical purposes it becomes a M20E. The AFM is included in the STC. If you don’t have send me an email and I can share it with you. Checklist I use a M20E checklist instead of the one I had previously. The starting procedure i use is the one for the M20E. Throttle slightly open, prop forward, mixture closed. Fuel pump on, once pressure is present, open mixture for 6 to 8 seconds. Close mixture turn off pump and crank. Once engine fires enrich mixture. Oscar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

El Salvador has implemented a strong GA friendly policy... it has opened 4 airfields and is building a second big international airport. It has already has the largest aircraft maintenance facility in the Americas Aeroman (including US). American, Delta, Soutwest, Avianca, Volaris and United fly their planes to El Salvador to do their different checks. Given the lack of mechanics in the US this is a win win for everybody,

Thank you very much. I invested a lot of effort in trying to make my M20 as nice and safe as possible. Given that I don't plan on selling my plane anytime soon... I don't know if it is a C or E. What I don know is that the plane is where I want it to be. For example: the upgrade from a O-360 to an IO-360 in a hot and relatively high density altitude environment has given me a nice safety margin. The vortex generators allow me to approach shorter runways and high density runways at a slower speed. The avionics upgrade... well I like toys... I painted my plane and it looks nice... Should I have bought a J instead of doing all these upgrades... yes, it would have made more sense from a financial and technical perspective. However, on the other hand I know this plane in an out. I have done maintance and I know all its issues... and I like it. The only thing I feel my plane lags behind is speed. I feel it is slow compared to other C and E. Oscar

The Government of El Salvador has made aviation and general aviation in particular a policy priority. As part of that effort it has repopened and opened several airports. This is a video about a flight to one of these new airports. Hope you enjoy.

nice...what areas does it cover?

Yes, happened to me too. I pulled the CB and it came up again. Since then no issues. Scared the heck out of me. Must be a software issue.

Disconnect the autopilot, considering that the autopilot disconnect button is just on the joke. full power and go missed to figure out what is going on.

Yes, the most important thing is to fly the airplane and focus on the essentials. This happened to me not long ago taking off from a grass strip. I decided to fly to a larger airport with the door open. It was not very pleasant but doable. Here are two videos with the take off and the landing. landing As you can see not to complicated, as long as you focus on flying.

I do fly a drone too and I got certified under part 107. I am very careful when flying out of my field with my drone. But I am allowed to do it if I coordinate with tower. It helps a lot being a pilot. oscar

Thank you very much!!

It works really well. The noise difference is amazing.

That is the best option. Easy to set up and easy to edit.

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

Thank you! I got them from aircraft spruce. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

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

Same thing with aircraft spruce. At the end of the process you have the option to request tax exemption

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.

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.

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

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....

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
