Maneuvers Practice near Martin State
Working on some commercial maneuvers on a warm summer morning. Was successful with some and not so much on others. Any tips on the Power Off 180s?

What a fun little airport! With 30 feet of width and just over 2000 feet of length, things happen fast here.
First Solo in IMC: LOC 15 KMTN Approach
Переглядів 126Місяць тому
My first time alone in an aircraft during IMC, I was vectored for the Localizer 15 at Martin State Airport. Ceilings were around 1700 feet but the broken clouds nevertheless made for a spectacular approach.

My friend needed a ride to an ultimate frisbee tournament outside Richmond, and I'd been chomping at the bit to get some more instrument time, so this was the perfect excuse to go fly. Hanover County airport had a respectable 500 foot ceiling during our approach. This was my first time in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) without an instructor.

Bad crosswind landing and go around
Переглядів 1814 місяці тому
Being a fairly novice pilot, I totally botched this landing while doing some crosswind practice. Watch as the breeze almost pushes me off the runway! My second attempt was much better and someone even said "nice landing" over the radio. I've since gotten a lot better at these.

Pattern work and Short Approach at MTN, rwy 15
Переглядів 1174 місяці тому
Short approaches are fun! Tried a slip on base to get down as fast as I could.
I still remember my first IFR solo in 1980 with steam gauges in 738CV (172). A little ice, a bit nervous, a lot satisfied.
That’s not enoug- oh wait it is enough right rudder
What the heck is kicking the rudder ? Would have been nice to have explained what that actually is.
0:44 Aligned the nose with my feet shortly before touchdown.
More right rudder
Indeed, an excellent landing!
Talk about a stabilized approach! Had the airspeed nailed. Excellent job!
Nice landing.
❤it's not easy but we have it baby
There must be few life experiences as poignant as a first flight solo. This is so cool! That big 360 CID 4 banger really gets you up to altitude fast. The sun in the morning is bright enough. Wear the best sun glasses you can obtain. Great flying, John! Congratulations! Kudos to your fine instructor too!
