Oscar Avalle Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Guys, on Monday I was flying my usual practice instrument flight in early morning. To my surprise what was going to be a simple practice IFR flight to enjoy the view (first video) became an ILS approach to minimums due to ground fog that moved in (Second video). Up to 5700 feet MSL (800 agl) everything was fine, I could see the ground and forward visibility was ok, then ground fog started to move in and 5500 it turned IMC and broke out at 5100 which was exactly at minimums. It does not look as dramatic as I am describing it here, but if you are mentally not prepared for it...you have to change plans and make sure that you are ready for a missed... After I landed fog became even worse and they even closed the airport for 1 hour for commercial flights... Enjoy. Oscar https://youtu.be/mZwGYPbNeVM https://youtu.be/XncMLVackZo 9
chrisk Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I don't know what minimums were, but I would guess you would have gone missed if it was not for the runway end lights. 1
Marauder Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I watched the video last night. Always fun when weather throws you a surprise! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

bonal Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Really enjoy your videos Oscar, your panel looks great perhaps good enough for Marauder to take notice. thank you for sharing your experience
carusoam Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Spectacular, again! The night flight section really is nice. Best regards, -a- 1
M20S Driver Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Wow.... very nice... How and where did you mount the upper vertical stabilizer camera?

Oscar Avalle Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Really enjoy your videos Oscar, your panel looks great perhaps good enough for Marauder to take notice. thank you for sharing your experience Well Maurader has by far the best panel. I would love to get a second ASPEN in there too... but it just does not make any sense. 1
Marauder Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Well Maurader has by far the best panel. I would love to get a second ASPEN in there too... but it just does not make any sense. You're too kind. I love your panel and any of the older planes with upgraded panels. I got another addition coming soon...

Marauder Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 What are you planning to install? Smaller than a bread box... But larger than a box of matches... Finally going to rid myself of an ongoing problem...
wishboneash Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Nice. That looks like the cockpit of a commercial airliner. And a lot of these airliners aren't equipped as well either! 1
Hank Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 Smaller than a bread box... But larger than a box of matches... Finally going to rid myself of an ongoing problem... How very cryptic of you . . . Would that box of matches be the little pocket box of 20 or so, or the large box I keep in the kitchen drawer that holds several hundred? One could well be AoA, the other a 406 ELT, but only the latter could cure an ongoing problem (unless you keep scaring yourself in the pattern?). With dual Aspens, I don't think you need a new GPS . . .
carusoam Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 He already has the Aspen box for the AOA display... Expect third Aspen box to display (insert ideas here). Best regards, -a-

RocketAviator Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Well done Oscar. Great videos. How / where do you mount the camera under your plane? Been thinking of trying that. Concerned with oil / exhaust covering lens.
