I need to Upgrade! Avionics Failures - Atlanta (KPDK) to Hilton Head (KHXD)!

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- A challenging flight with the family! Came out of the annual with a repaired cylinder! I need to fly below 5,000 ft. Both my G5s were showing incorrect headings and the Auto pilot stopped working. While I was trying to figure this out, got yelled by ATC for not maintaining assigned altitude (Note that I am not on IFR plan and not in Class Bravo). It was my fault as I was distracted and trying sort things out. Tons of lessons learned! #atc #classbravo #atlanta #hiltonheadisland #beach #grummantiger #aircraft

Man, you were cool as a cucumber in that stressful situation. Great job!! Looking forward to your upgrade.
Thank you! Flying in ATL is stressful! I am somewhat used ATL controllers!
a controller telling you "im really busy" right after you tell him indirectly that you have an avionics failure wasn't the most professional from him. It's like you were being a chore for him instead of him helping you.
He was a chore, he wasn’t going to the correct course or altitude and was eating up bandwidth with excuses. In a Bravo they expect you to hand fly safely and accurately if your AP can’t handle the turbulence. You can’t just bounce around wherever you like. He mentions problems maintaining altitude because of break-in, but was actually 200’ above assigned altitude, not below. Stick and rudder skills are critical, AP and magenta line is secondary to that. I don’t know if this was totally on the equipment, seems more on the pilot. If AP kicks off, just fly the plane. This was just a lot of excuses. Still overall a good job, other than getting behind the plane at 5000’.
One thing I didn’t make clear in the video is that I was not in the Bravo during the traffic alert. It took a second to realize my AP not holding and I was over the assigned altitude.
@@AV8OR51A quick look at the charts shows you'd have to fly 20 miles due east of pdk before turning SE to avoid the section of bravo airspace with a floor of 5000'. I don't know if that was the case or not, but the fact that atc immediately cleared you into bravo as soon as you canceled ifr would lead me to believe you were in it. Your good old round dial altimeter right in front of you showed 5700. The citation traffic at 6000' means only 300' of vertical separation and you caused that guy to have to respond to a TCAS Resolution Advisory to avoid your aircraft. The beeping sound in the background when atc was transmitting is warning him of a lack of separation.
Switching from ifr to vfr does not absolve you of the responsibility to maintain assigned altitude. It's one thing if your out flying in middle of nowhere but ATL is the busiest airport in the world, as I'm sure you know, and you gotta keep it tight.
Having said all that, everyone makes mistakes, and i like your attitude, your humility, and the way you handled the situation with the controller. But don't blame your avionics when you got the information (5700') staring you right in the face. Keep flying, keep learning, and i wish you the best.
It has been a while. We just back from HHI but took the Honda instead of the Piper. Have a great vacation my friend.
Yes, it’s been a while! Hope you had a fun vacation at HHI!
Did you investigate the cause of the heading errors? I had this happen to me in our experimental with a GTN750/Dynon Skyview setup when the bag with my wife's hair straightener was placed too near the AHRS. The electric motor or magnets in the hair straightener caused the heading to read 20-30 degrees off and I only noticed by referencing Foreflight. Fixed immediately by shuffling the bag around.
Yes! It’s the bags shifting during takeoff! The magnetometer is located behind the baggage compartment.This has happened before! On the return trip, I made sure nothing is loose & it worked!
@@AV8OR51 Oh interesting! Something to keep in mind.
