Rick Junkin Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 These pictures are terrible but still want to share how picturesque the Smokys are in the winter. Winds kept us low from Gatlinburg to Thomaston (south of Atlanta) yesterday so I flew down the river valley offset from the foothills. I'll work on my photographic technique and get better pictures next time. 5
amillet Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 I flew an instrument approach into KCLM RNAV GPS -9 to adjust the auto pilot RC on the KFC 150. I noticed the last few flights the CDI was off a few needle widths . Easy adjustment with a small screwdriver s 2
Flyler Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Cold today but I just had to get up in the air. Flew over the coast for a little speed run, then headed back to try my second "instrument approach" at my little home airport. I was worried about being "that Cirrus guy" and doing a 10mi straight in approach. When I was about 15 miles out, a Cirrus keyed up and said they were about 10mi out on the GPS approach which gave me a chuckle. So I followed them in. 4

Ibra Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 (edited) I did oil change and decided to fly VFR pattern with hangar neighbour after the rain has stopped: VFR takeoff, ATC called me on downwind to let me know it’s SVFR, on base leg he asked me if I can fly LPV procedure or IFR circling? I told him I already have runway in sight and he cleared me for landing. While taxiing to parking, it was VIS 1sm - 1/2sm with broken < 300ft Lot of things happens in less than 20min Edited February 1 by Ibra 4
