Here is another approach video: This time I used only one camera. But the camera shows a good view of the instruments and the outside during the approach.

Please make sure to watch it in 4k. This gives you the opportunity to read the cockpit instruments.

Palatka is a nice little town in Florida, located near the St John's River. No tower, but GPS-approaches. Fuel is not expensive. I like to use the airport also for training because the pattern is usually not that crowded.

The video shows again how important good speed management in our Mooneys is. I flew the approach with about 80 knots and reduced to a speed of 62 over the displaced threshold. Touchdown was right behind the numbers.  Indicated airspeed at touchdown was about 58 knots with the horn on.
