We have flown a few down to minimums in the Conquest 2 / 441 and the Garmin 750 is great, along with the front nose radar and xm weather, makes it a little more comfortable. Great job as always.
I really appreciate it! :) Im glad you liked it! I try to make it understandable so that even my mom can watch it and follow along :) She's a dedicated fan but not a pilot haha! :)
Thanks for this - I'm in the process of (finally) equipping my aircraft for IFR. Once that's done I need to re-up my IFRr certs, I feel like I've forgotten everything!
Great video Evan, very well done IFR focus with a GA aircraft. One thing I've always wondered about - can you hold the minimum single-engine speed (blue line) across the threshold, or would that have too much impact on landing performance? Just thinking about a scenario where you lose one engine on final.
There is no way you said you absolutely love flying into shitty IFR weather like that lol. I am a student pilot doing my PPL and if I see this kind of weather with passengers in the back, I would shit my pants even if I become a CPL one day. stay safe out there!
Trust me, once you get your IFR rating and get some experience, IFR flying is some of the most satisfying and most fun flying you can do. The best feeling is breaking out from the clouds on a low IFR approach and finding the runway all lit up with lights. I love this flying. You will too! Cheers! :)
Whaaaat???? The formations of the clouds especially between layers, plus the added fun of approaches especially when you have beautiful avionics. Lord have mercy if you tell me I can only fly in one type of weather the rest of my life it would be IFR.
So, my (much smaller) plane has a G3X and GFC 500. I didn't see an autopilot 'scoreboard' or flight director on your G600, despite seeing what appear to be autopilot controls on the right hand knob. Even if not coupled, wouldn't a flight director indicator help you stay on vertical? Regardless, must have been some solid crew coordination going on between you both on this. Nice job.
Interesting - what I saw were Canadian pilots, flying a Canadian registered aircraft, between Canadian airports... Enjoying Canadian Freedom. But you do you.
It was actually melting off after we had landed. And we use a deicing fluid that we carry with us in the nose of the airplane. We can apply it easily with a garden sprayer. It works really good! :)
Hello love your videos ! Currently in EASA IR/ME training, I don’t understand why you ended up, on the first app, way to close/too high on the runway. Have you descended down to the MDA and maintained a level flight ? In Europe we often use the conversion MDA + 20ft (for cat A acft) => DA if no DA is published. Is it same in Canada ? Quite funny to see all these differences of rules
Thanks so much!! That’s interesting. In canada the approach charts often require you maintain that minimum altitude until you cross the runway threshold waypoint. At that point there’s usually no point in attempting a landing because you are 250 feet above the threshold and the runway is beneath the nose. So it always results in a missed approach. You can go missed earlier however :)
@@EvanLuftWell it’s always hard to tell on video so I sure hope so. Because as I was watching your first landing attempt you were below minimums when you pointed. Fly safe.
I noticed that too. They blew mins by about 160feet. LPV mins for CYXH for 03 shows 2599’. At 7:42 these guys went down to 2440’ when “at this moment” he spotted the runway / runway lights. Was also at 0.3nm 😬 Be careful with these vids bud. Safe flying
@@drummerkid69Yea I didn’t notice the distance to the runway and the visibility required is 1 mile. I’d probably take this video down if I were him. This doesn’t look legal or safe in my opinion.
Awesome video. You guys flew that very well and made an awesome video conducting a missed approach and a second attempt.
Thanks!! :) always fun doing these low approaches. But with two pilots it is for sure safer :)
Excellent video, Evan. Passing it along to my student in time for his initial IFR on Wednesday here in Kelowna.
Wow thanks a lot!!! That means a lot coming from a fella like you!! :) I am in kelowna quite often so send me a message on insta

Amazing aircraft the conquest 2!! I agree! Thanks so much!! :)
Great narration on the approach. Made it somewhat understandable for non-pilots but us vets were tracking right along. Well done
I really appreciate it! :) Im glad you liked it! I try to make it understandable so that even my mom can watch it and follow along :) She's a dedicated fan but not a pilot haha! :)
👏👏Love LIFR , just discovered your channel used to see the shorts only. Its an amazing video thank you for sharing 🙏
Thanks for this - I'm in the process of (finally) equipping my aircraft for IFR. Once that's done I need to re-up my IFRr certs, I feel like I've forgotten everything!
congrats!! that is exciting! Im sure it will all come back to you very fast :)
Amazing video bro! This'll be this weeks continuing competency review ;)
I am inspired Evan.Thank you
Nice job guys I am following you from Trinidad and Tobago.
Evan I love flying along side you and this is what it means when you have earned your IFR rating and let’s do this together
Wow, that really means a lot!! :) would love to link up!!!
LOVE IT, great job guys!
Thank you very much!! Cheers!!

Single engine IMC in a solid layer makes more workloads and always I enjoy the before and landing Briefing in any of your flights
thanks!! Im glad!! I find I learn more just making these videos haha!
Well done on the landing guys👏👏👏 & thank you for such awesome and knowledgeable content for us to learn from🙏🙏🙏
That’s a motivating! Great job. 👍
Hi from the UK. what a superb video. I learned loads. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!! Im really glad you loved this video! Cheers from Canada!!

Awesome video!
Nice video. Did you ask controllers whether anyone else got in before you attempted the first approach? Cheers from Regina
We were actually the first, BUT a king air 200 did get in right after us
Very nicely done! 😊
Thanks so much!!
Impressive....nice job
Greatest flight yet
thank you so much!!
I am envious… refreshing to see enjoying Americans 🇺🇸 freedom
Interesting - what I saw were Canadian pilots, flying a Canadian registered aircraft, between Canadian airports... Enjoying Canadian Freedom.
But you do you.
:) this is in Canada, BUT I love flying to the US! All the cool airplanes are down there! haha
Nice job guys . I follow you from algeria.
Thanks so much!! Cheers from canada!!
What are your plans for getting rid of that residual ice before your next flight?
It was actually melting off after we had landed. And we use a deicing fluid that we carry with us in the nose of the airplane. We can apply it easily with a garden sprayer. It works really good! :)
@14:01
Are you sure the G stand for gear? There would be 2 items identifying the gear respectively undercarriage.
it could be gauges or gas
It actually stands for GAS, but over the years I somehow messed it up and always said GEAR haha. you are correct though.
Moto guy here but sheshhh I love your vids🎉🎉
Thank you so so much!!! :)
Love ur vids❤️
Thanks so much!! :)
@@EvanLuft no problem I have flight sim to try to practice being a pilot

Awesome Vid! Are u in a C414 by any chance?
Thanks a lot!! Glad you liked it! This is a C425 turboprop :)
I don’t understand. Did you reach the DA on the GS?
Yes and at that point we knew there was no runway or we wouldn’t be able to get down to make the landing safe.
Descending below minimums without runway lights in sight? Is this legal?
We did have the runway lights in sight. :) we even add a margin of approx 100 feet to our minimums for safety :)
@@EvanLuftWell it’s always hard to tell on video so I sure hope so. Because as I was watching your first landing attempt you were below minimums when you pointed. Fly safe.
@@alexc5449 2520 ft at @07:26. 80 ft below

Is this plane able to autoland on an ILS approach?
No it can’t but Garmin has developed airplane for king airs etc!
Isn't that more expensive to fly than an Eclipse 500?
Im not sure what the Eclipse 500 is to operate but I imagine this turboprop is about the same
God bless bro
:)
Playing with dead.
Who says we don’t fly in the 21 century ❤🇺🇸🫡
haha no kidding!
Gorgerus instruments
Love all the garmin avionics
